It's true - in India, not everyone cares abt hygiene. The way you write your posts literally transports me to the place and i can almost smell the tea and feel the steam on my face. Am absolutely in love with your blog :) Hi Jenny,

Tiggy, definitely find him when you go back. he's sure to be there. just round the corner from Assi Ghat near the market. if you can't find him, ask Veejay or Jeevan (the morti wallahs near Assi Ghat). happy travels! and Shireena, Pappu only had tea in his sock, but perhaps he adds cardamon on special occasions! would be fun to try! thanks for the comments everyone. glad you’re enjoying Pappu!

I love hearing the motorbike horns in the background. I'm curious...do you know if the sock was just tea or if there were masala spices as well? Take care, S The video is fantastic – thank you for taking me there. I love hearing the motorbike horns in the background.

I shall have to find that chai man when I am in Varanasi in October. Unlike any chai making I've seen, and hygenic glass washing as well. Enjoying your journey, jottings and videos.
