Hot Tea Across India - Rishad Saam Mehta ( review by Ann Ben)

A Cup of Chai gives thousand adventures!

Hot Tea Across India is a book that has captured images,beauty and memories in a wonderful manner.

A marvelous piece of work where the writer has described every tiny detail of his trip.

It is a travelogue ,which according to me is the most difficult to write as it is a task to memorize every tiny detail of your trip. In this book , Rishad Saam Mehta has accomplished this  challenging task and keeps the readers excited.

The book is about tea all around the country and the authors obsession of travelling on his bullet ,exploring lands and while doing so drinking tea from every place he visits.Tea is something which is available everywhere in India and is almost like a staple national drink,around which the author weaves his story.He tastes tea across his journeys ,from Delhi to Mumbai to Manali to Rajasthan.
He jots down his experiences in a wonderful and brilliant manner which keeps the readers awake.

Mehta in his book describes the beautiful scenery and breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges.
He tries to rejuvenate the readers minds by talking about the food in different regions ,the streets and highways.The food cooked and served by strangers who then become his acquaintances.

The book  as a whole is  a delightful one which gives the reader a jolly good experience.
