That’s the most beautiful interpretation of “chai wallah” I’ve ever heard:-)

Your site has certainly opened my eyes and made me deliciously envious of your pilgrimage
The art and ritual of making masala chai and sharing it with friends and family is a heart-warming experience, and all the more so when you have knowledge of the other humans in the world who do this as a living. I would be so honoured as to purchase a cup from a chai wallah. I’ve even considered becoming one myself (it would be a site to see in my wasp-y town in North America). It is a humble profession, but in my opinion filled with magic possibilities when you consider how many people have been warmed, calmed, or consoled by a single cup of tea.

This is such a coincidence, I discover your post and yesterday evening we began to watch “Slumdog Millionnaire” and this movie is so beautiful yet really sad and horrible concerning the lives of children and unfortunate people in India but, as you point out, it’s the same everywhere on the planet… this saddens me so much, so intensely… why is our world like that?
