“The goal of life is not to make a lot of money .its to make a life that means something”
It is one of the best proverb that we've ever read about.
But we forget it when it comes to the application, and we reverse the
statement. But if we will come across the story of Madhur Malhotra , a chaiwala
in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal we will see the true sense of the proverb.
Madhur Malhotra, a young educated boy, had a lucrative
job in Australia, earning over 30 lakhs. He worked in Australia until 2011,
though his parents lived in Bhopal, which still kept him worried about the
health of his parents, according to story published in India times.

“Time is more valuable than money.You can get more money ,but you can not get more time.”
Madhur wanted to take his aging parents with him, but
family business and other problems did not allow his parents to move to
Australia. Therefore, he quit his job in Australia when his mother became ill
in 2011, and moved back to Bhopal.
“I have chosen passion over power and money ,and its worked out very well”

He has several options to start his own company while returning to India or to find a lucrative job in India like Australia. But for that he has to abandon his parents again. So, he decided to enter his real estate business with his family. Yet the desire to do something fresh and special gave him the idea of opening a tea shop. So he did the same, and opened a tea shop in Bhopal's MP Nagar named 'Chai 34'.

In Madhur Malhotra’s word:
Even then I had many offers of jobs, but I didn't chose any. I was determined to do something of my own. Therefore, I came up with this idea which gradually became a success as now we are a popular hangout place in Bhopal. Today, we serve Chai with 20 odd flavours with masala tea, garlic tea, cardamom tea, Tulsi tea, and many others.
