A
Tea Stall
A
tea stall is a small eating place where prepared tea is served to the
customers. Besides tea, light refreshments like biscuits, cakes, loafs,
bananas, betel leaf etc. are also sold here. Tea stalls are found everywhere
these days: in market places, at street corners, railway or bus stations,
launch terminals, near offices, mills, factories, educational institutions and
even in villages. A tea stall has some tables and chairs or benches and cash
counter. There is often a boy or two to serve tea to the customers. The manager
sits behind the cash box and collects the bills from the customers. Basically,
a tea stall in our country is neither gorgeous nor luxurious. Actually it is
often a small meeting place of people who want to refresh themselves or gossip over
a cup of tea. People come here and discuss various subjects. They generally
talk about personal affairs, social problems, village politics, national and
international politics and current affairs freely. In some tea stalls, a newspaper is kept. So,
many people get an opportunity to read it and know various current issues of
home and abroad. Thus a tea stall becomes a noisy and busy place from morning
till late night. As almost all walks of people visit it, a tea stall occupies a
significant place in our day to day life.
