thanks,

I do know and understand Hindi.

I am also an ex-MES (long time back).

I just come on ON and OFF, work load does not permit me to make long posts. I like the discussions, and all else, thanks to Qatari. Hence, I visit regularly, but not post.

I have a desire for masala chai, since I started reading this thread and the only easy one I can remember is the one with lemon grass.

The lemon grass from Thailand is different.

I desperately want to have masala chai, either lemon grass or cardamon.

The last time I had a nice masala chai (Cardamon) was at a Pak friend's place during Eid. Unfortunately, to get to his place is a distance. I live at Old airport area and he with his family at Town Centre. Moreover, you know the custom, men sit separate. So do not want to disturb them.
