Preeti Shenoy…does she need an introduction…she is the most modest person I’ve met till date. She is the author of two best sellers “34 Bubblegums and Candies” and “Life is what you make it”. Her blog is the best place to know her (for those who don’t know her). She takes so much effort to reply to readers comments on her blog…and on her FB fan page.
When I read her creative prompt challenge today….just one name came to my mind…
“If I could invite anybody for ‘tea for two’ today it would undoubtedly be …MY DAD”
My Dad is an exception to the Pallakad Iyer community, ’cos most of the Iyer’s love their Filter Kaapi…but my dad loves Chai…especially Masala Chai prepared by me. I add ginger, elaichi, lemon grass and pepper. I still remember the long conversations we had…while sipping a hot cup of tea on weekends. We never needed a topic…it just used to be anything and everything. He still misses the tea prepared by me…and whenever he visits Mumbai…I make it a point to provide him the best tea.
PS: Preeti your prompt made me nostalgic…ALL THE BEST for your book…!!!!!
How i wish I couls invite my dad too :'-(
Thank you so much for taking part!
Thanks for the very kind words too.
Love
Preeti

Very tempting tea, may he enjoy this for a long long time. And may be I too get lucky to have it some day.
Take care
I love my filter coffee – cannot get a good start to my day without it. But I love masala chai too.Perhaps some day I could chat with you over a cup of chai 🙂

Any father would be so delighted to accept this kind of invitation from his children and would be proud to have a child who honour him so much. Lovely post!
