When we were kids, milk-tea used to be like all milk and very less tea but I guess hamro New Nepal maa things are different now!
The doodh-chiya looked like black-tea with a splash of milk of something!
And when I asked the chiya-pasaley ... 'Dai, is this really milk-tea?' ... he just looked at me as if he was going to stab me in the eye and replied, "Aankha chaina, doodh-chiya nabhaya kay ho ta tyo?"
Now, I wanted to stab him in the eye ... "Kati bhayo pasal chalaa-ko?"
Now, I was faced with two options... A) Just shut up, drink the @$!#ing tea and leave without paying . B) Throw the tea glass @ the chiya guy, beat him to death, destroy his cow-shed chiya pasal and steal his money and go to the Casino!
Now, I understood why our tea-man wasn't interested in customer service! Who cares? Drink your shit and @#$! off... He pays Rs 100 to his local Mao-badi Inc Chapter...that's why he's so Furkay-ko! I wish I also paid our Mao brothers ...like Rs 1000 a month... and maybe I could slap him X 10!
I guess I will have to move to Kavre ... then I can ask them 700 Kavrelis for morning tea @ the local tea-shop!
