Chai, snacks and constant care

Liz shared that one thing she noticed almost immediately was how warmly guests treated her at their homes.

According to her, whenever she visits someone’s house, people instantly offer chai, snacks, or ask whether she has eaten. She said these gestures never felt formal or forced but came naturally to people.

The simple habit of checking whether someone is comfortable or hungry left a deep impression on her.
