At IIT-Bombay, it’s chai that keeps mood high

Except for three hours in the morning (from 5 to 8 am), IIT-Bombay students, scholars and professors can grab their cuppa at all times. A study by the institute’s student media body has focussed on how the campus life revolves around “chai”–their favourite beverage. The campus has around 45 tea-stalls but the activity around them–and the business they see–varies according to time-and-space coordinates, shows the study. The institute is, in fact, planning to increase the number of joints serving tea in their academic area.
