Indian Chai Inspiration - Chai for Cancer Adda

CHAI FOR CANCER ADDAS - Shalini Pillay

Walking into a Chai for Cancer Adda is a heart-warming experience. A blanket of warmth envelops  you as you enter and everyone is so loving and caring. My first experience of an adda was at Viji’s sister’s place in Chennai. The camaraderie shared by the group was amazing. People were very comfortable sharing their experiences and at the end of the evening we all felt a sense of peace and realized we were not alone in the fight against Cancer. Everyone has been touched in one way or another by this dreaded disease.

Hosting an adda was even more exciting. The planning, inviting, getting things organized .... all added to the excitement. Viji was there to help and of course she charmed the crowd with her dazzling smile and her simple words. The evening resounded with laughter and an impromptu music session. I personally feel that this is one of the best ways to create awareness and raise funds for people who cannot pay for the expensive treatment. Raise a cup of chai to Cancer!
