Extremely good. Usually the focus of most people is on the action in the tea-environment (Chai par Charcha or Coffee with Karan), the most hardworking person is the tea vendor. The chaiwala near our residence at Ahmedabad used to open his stall at 6 o’clock in the morning and ran it till 11 o’clock in night.
That is 17hrs. Too much…
feels like i’m invited
to have chai, master :-)
Agree 😬
hehe
It is wonderful how the close focus on the kettle rather than the vendor creates an inviting intimacy. Think I’ll make some chai now. :)
thank you :)
Simply awesome :D

Ha, this good! Yes, please, I’d like another cup.
hehe thank you :)
Nice work.

The close up of the tea stained kettle has given it a typical characteristic of chai-wala-kettle. Ver impressive shot.

Thank you, I learned something. I love the photo – there is something about the classic gesture of pouring tea. Wouldn’t it be great to do a series of people pouring tea around the world?
