`Thandi Me Chai Toh Pilana Chahiye Na'

Meera Manjhi is also one among those who have been given invitation to attend the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya on January 22. As soon as PM Modi reached Meera’s home at Ram Ghat he asked her if there is anything she cooked today. She is said to have cooked rice, daal, vegetable and tea.

"Thandi Me Chai Toh Pilana Chahiye Na" (You should at least serve tea in this biting cold), asked Modi. After having tea along with the other family members of the house, PM Modi told Meera `Chai Thodi Meethi Jyada Thi Lekin Achchi Hai (The tea was a little sweeter but good).  I told him that this is the way we make tea and everyone likes it, said Meera.
