I believe that spontaneity is the key to personal projects. So while a daily ritual of a cup of tea may seem monotonous, with spontaneity and creativity you can break the monotony. For me, creative compositions are important as they can bring the mundane to life.<br /><br />Being a graphic designer, I am instinctively drawn to unique and creative patterns, frames and compositions in whatever I come across in everyday life, even when I shoot my everyday cups of tea. So whenever there is an occasion for a cup of chai, I ensure that my camera is always nearby. You never know when an interesting composition may come up.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHs4A-TRB_oVzmRlpmojIlSk-PV3lZY3dahMkVBfVXKv5ElygTRQtShv4wq7mtbAZXV8gvOCGTLgmMVg5tNiZzwx8NWJjNCcHlKN0FJ_qyZ7G6A7vbPKvlAKlwFmxO55FZkJZ7SnhTDo/s1600/7799141748_fbefec434a_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGHs4A-TRB_oVzmRlpmojIlSk-PV3lZY3dahMkVBfVXKv5ElygTRQtShv4wq7mtbAZXV8gvOCGTLgmMVg5tNiZzwx8NWJjNCcHlKN0FJ_qyZ7G6A7vbPKvlAKlwFmxO55FZkJZ7SnhTDo/s640/7799141748_fbefec434a_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">While I continue to shoot my daily vignettes of chai everyday, I share it on </span><b style="text-align: left;">Instagram</b><span style="text-align: left;">, </span><b style="text-align: left;">Facebook</b><span style="text-align: left;"> and  also on </span><b style="text-align: left;">'A Cup of Chai...'</b><span style="text-align: left;"> photoblog dedicated to tea.

A Cup of Chai…{A photo book about the many cups of chai in my life.}

Today seems to be the day when my 'to-do' list is negligible and I don't see any herculean tasks in the horizon that need my immediate attention.So I put the kettle on and open the lid of my favourite new tea blend.The aromatic infusion of citrus, cardamom, lemongrass refresh my senses to a state of…
