Paragraph on A Tea Stall

A Tea Stall

Tea is as sweet as idle gossip and as adhesive as prattle of folk-politics. A tea stall, as such, is a place of immense public interest. Ordinarily, it is a small shop where tea is prepared and sold. Like snacks are also served with tea here. It is found at every nook and corner of a village as well as of a town or a city. It is a common place at commercial areas, industrial areas, bus terminals, railway stations, ports, courts and educational institutions. Generally, it is decorated with a few chairs, tables and benches. A tea stall is usually kept open from early morning to late night. It is a place of din and bustle because everybody here talks and don’t care for others’ inconvenience. There are radios and cassette players for the entertainment of the customers. It is frequented by the weary passers-by, the tired office assistants, the fatigued labourers, the exhausted rickshaw- pullers as well as the students and political workers. All sorts of people go there to sip a cup of tea to drive away their fatigue. Very often people raise storm on current affairs over a cup of tea. Some times the tea-stall becomes overcrowded with people bored with daily chores, seeking leisure in the social get-together. Quality and standard of tea-stalls vary from place to place according to the status of the locality where they are run. It is, in fact, a pleasure resort for people of all age-groups and of all walks of life. Without a tea-stall life would have been dull and monotonous for the working middle class.
