A Tea Stall


A tea stall is a family show in Bangladesh. It is a favorite place for all kinds of people. It is found in the cities, as well as in the markets of the villages and in the different points of the roads. In the city, it is usually located next to narrow streets on roads. The appearance of the position has something in common. The shopkeeper sits at a table or in a chouki. Around it there are shelves in which there are jars of cookies, chanachur, buns or other sandwiches. In front of the store, bunches of bananas are kept hanging from pieces of ropes. A 'child' prepares tea in an oven that has charcoal or twigs as fuel. The kettle is always in the oven and the water boils in it. The cups are stored on a nearby table and a small pot of water to wash the cups and saucers. There are banks inside the store, and some banks are also outside. Clients sit on benches and ask for tea, and sometimes tea things like cookies, chanachur, banana and scones. Almost all types of people are in a tea stall. A tired rickshaw shooter gets up from his child seats and takes a quick cup of tea. Even in a tea stall sometimes you find educated people or rich people who are in a hurry to do business, and who do not have time to look for a better place for tea. Sometimes gossip dealers frequent the place, get involved in gossip. The tea stall is occupied from morning to night.
