Sometimes, it is the simplest things in life that bring the most pleasure. We all have a set of comfort foods that provide us solace in the darkest of hours. Whether it is a childhood-favourite candy or a dish that our mother used to make, there are countless examples that we can think of. One such simple and classic combination that quite a few people find comforting is Chai and Parle-G biscuit. Recently, we spotted IndiGo's MD Rahul Bhatia too savouring this delightful pairing. His picture has gone viral on Twitter. Take a look:

The comforting Parle-G biscuit has been a part of Indians' food culture since generations. Pairing it with Chai is popular not just because of its great taste, but also its minimal cost. So, when Twitter users saw that the IndiGo MD Rahul Bhatia too loved this wonderful combination of Parle-G with chai, they couldn't help but shower praises on him! "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," wrote one user while another said, "This pack of #ParleG has aged well!"
