CHAI CHAI: TRAVEL IN PLACES WHERE YOU STOP BUT NEVER GET OFF
Bishwanath Ghosh's 'Chai, Chai' embarks on an enthralling odyssey through the heart of provincial India, focusing on the throbbing railway nodes that punctuate the land. This revered classic, reintroduced with an eye-catching new design, invites audiences to traverse both familiar and hidden realms—transitory stops often overlooked as genuine destinations. Sparked by an illuminating pause at the Itarsi junction, Ghosh delves into the narratives intertwined with six pivotal railway confluences: Itarsi, Mughal Sarai, Jhansi, Shoranur, Arakkonam, and Jolarpettai. With a wealth of humor and allure, the author crafts an evocative tableau of these locales, granting readers enlightening insights into the complexities of travel and a profound appreciation for India's obscured treasures. 'Chai, Chai' emerges as a seminal piece on the essence of small-town India, continuing to enchant its audience with its astute reflections and captivating storytelling.
