How to Make Indian Chai

 

In India, “chai” simply means tea, but it’s not just tea leaves in hot water. Indian chai is a warm, spiced, milky drink enjoyed across the country. It’s a daily ritual, served to guests as a gesture of hospitality, sipped in homes, and sold at small roadside stalls called “chaiwallahs.” Each region and family may add its own twist with spices like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, or pepper. Chai is not only a drink but also a way of bringing people together.

Diwali For Kids

 

I am so excited to share some wonderful news with you! My new children’s book, Diwali For Kids: Why We Celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, has just been published and is now available on Amazon USA and Amazon UK.

This project has been a true labor of love. As a parent and a storyteller, I wanted to create something special for children that not only celebrates Diwali but also explains the meaning and traditions behind it in a way that is simple, engaging, and fun.

Why I Wrote Diwali For Kids

Diwali is one of the most important festivals celebrated in India and by millions of people across the world. It is also known as the Festival of Lights, a time when families come together to clean their homes, decorate with rangoli, light little clay lamps called diyas, share sweets, exchange gifts, and enjoy fireworks.

But Diwali is more than just lights and sweets. It is a festival filled with stories, values, and traditions that teach children about hope, kindness, togetherness, and the victory of good over evil.

I realized that while there are many books about Christmas, Easter, and other world holidays available for children, there were far fewer that explain Diwali in a clear, kid-friendly way. That’s where the idea for this book came from to give children a chance to learn about Diwali through beautiful illustrations and simple storytelling.

Numbers are an essential part of daily life-whether you are shopping in a local market, traveling, or studying. Below is the complete list of Assamese numbers from 1 to 100 with their English equivalents.

The study of Assamese numerals also reveals important insights into the broader linguistic landscape of Northeast India, where multiple language families converge and influence each other. Understanding these numbers provides a window into how the Assamese-speaking community conceptualizes quantity, measurement, and mathematical relationships within their cultural framework.
