A Tea Stall
A tea-stall is a small shop where mainly tea is prepared and served. It is a common place where all classes of people gather. Biscuits, bread, bananas, betel leaf are also available here. It starts early in the morning and stops late at night. It is usually found at the crowded places. It is found at a market place, a bus stand, a railway station, steamer ghat and street corner. It is not well-furnished. Even in some stalls, there are no chairs but benches. A tea-stall has normally two parts. In the front part, there are some chairs, tables and a show-case. In the other part, there is the kitchen. A boy is employed in a tea-stall. Sometimes, the owner himself serves as the boy and the cashier. Here the different types of people come to refresh themselves by taking a cup of tea and they also discuss about different topics. Sometimes, they read papers and argue with politics and raise a tempest on a cup of tea. This is why, it is called a mini Sangsad. It is a noisy and busy place. But its utility cannot be ignored.
