“Excuse me, Two cups of tea please?” A man shouted from the
corner seat of the train. “Ah... Yes” he poured two cups, handed it to the man
and collected a twenty rupee note. A
satisfaction formed on his face.
He had been selling tea for fifteen years and from that he
was sustaining his household expenses along with his daughter’s academy
expenses.
Every morning he left his house at 4 am; moved from train to
train to sell tea and returned to his home at 10 pm.
