Streetside Chai

streetside chai in Mumbai -- or anywhere in India... lots of milk, plenty of

sugar, heavy brewing ... usual cost for a cupful: less than 5 cents

Nice street shot...Well seen and captured.

 

I think this word"chai",is originated from india..In my country,we pronounce the same and we use it in the kettle..This kind of chai is very interesting for me,bacause I never see the same!...When I travelled to china,I heard green tea that is very good for nerve and relaxation...In all of the world,peoples have some habits,and this is one of it...Thnx for sharing and viewing...Regards(Bobby).

the word "chai" is actually of Chinese origin (mandarin, i believe)... the word "tea" is also of Chinese origin... this method of preparation is Indian... many a time spices are also added... interestingly, in Hebrew "chai" means Life...

Eternal CHAI for you my friend. Original shot. Warm regards.

if i can 'make' just one eternal photograph...

for it my friend.

Chai/Cutting....I am ready for it!!

Thanks for commenting on my photo...

Good capture !!

Kudos to all your photos...very timely!

Thank You.

Oh. How did I miss this one before. This is fantastic. One of your best.

thank you! while sipping my tea at this roadside stall in Mumbai I was fascinated by the photographic possibilities of this commonplace scene...

Hard to explain why I like this one, but I think it comes down to Tone.  I like that splash of colour combined with the brushed metal and the gritty bits of tea.  Great capture.

thank your for your visit and commenting on my stuff... this was under blazing sun and the richness of the light, the extensive tonal range on offer, enticed me to try and capture some of its attraction...

Most attractive the way it is virtually monochromatic with the exception of the orange material. Sometimes that effect comes off as a cliche, but here it is more art than artifice.
