One Cup at a Time
Tara is 23, unemployed by choice (kind of), and dangerously close to being labeled “wasted potential” by her extended family. After surviving engineering college, job rejections, and one painfully awkward arranged marriage meeting, she’s decided to take a break — not a vacation, but a full-on life pause.
Her plan?
Thirty days of doing absolutely nothing society expects.
No resumes. No LinkedIn. No “So, what are you doing with your life?”
Just tea, a notebook, and a personal rebellion disguised as self-care.
Armed with sarcasm, half-baked ideas, and one loyal tea cup, Tara sets out to rediscover herself through random little adventures: painting again, helping her friend elope, ignoring her cousin's influencer drama, and confronting a heartbreak she’s been pretending never happened.
But as the days pass, she finds that “doing nothing” is actually harder than it looks — especially when everything you’ve buried starts to surface.
Funny, brutally honest, and unexpectedly healing, Chai, Chaos, and Other Life Choices is a story about letting go, showing up for yourself, and realizing that maybe not having it all figured out… is perfectly fine.
