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.

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. :)

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