what is a cutting chai? how did the term cutting chai originate? what is so special about cutting chai in association with bombayi? what was the concept of cutting chai?

Bombay(Mumbai) is where the saying was supposed to have come from. 

Chai in India means tea and the variety we were after - cutting chai - is particularly associated with Mumbai. Said chai is a savory concoction of milk, sugar, ginger, masala and green tea boiled together in a large steel kettle and served steaming hot. Cutting tea is so called because its flavor is so strong that it is served by the half-glass. ("Cutting" is the transliteration of the hindi word for "half".)

 The "kolis" an ethnic group found in Goa.

The Kharvi, who are also known as Koli, are a community found in Goa. Some are Christians,while others are Hindus.The Koli people are historically an ethnic group native to Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states.

In Mumbai, Native Christians include East Indians Catholics, who were converted by the Portuguese during the 16th century, are also koli people

 A Sikh (/siːk, sɪk/; Punjabi: ਸਿੱਖ sikkh [sɪkkʰ]) is a follower of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion that originated in the 16th century in the Punjab region The term "Sikh" means disciple, student, or (śikṣa). A Sikh is a disciple/subject of the Guru.

Indian musical instruments can be broadly classified according to the Hornbostel–Sachs system into four categories: chordophones (string instruments), aerophones (wind instruments), membranophones (drums) and idiophones (non-drum percussion instruments).

Rangoli, also known as kolam or Muggu, is a folk art from India in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals. It is usually made during Diwali, Onam, Pongal and other Indian festivals. They are meant to be sacred welcoming areas for the Hindu deities.

In Hinduism, a sādhu (skt साधु sādhu, "good; good man, holy man") is a religious ascetic or holy person.^[1] Although the vast majority ofsādhus are yogīs, not all yogīs are sādhus. The sādhu is solely dedicated to achieving mokṣa (liberation), the fourth and final aśrama(stage of life), through meditation and contemplation of brahman. Sādhus often wear saffron-coloured clothing, symbolising their sanyāsa(renunciation). This way of life is open to women; the female form of the word is sādhvī साध्वी.
