The Budia Tea Shop………
It was drizzling when we ventured out for tea-samosa. We
usually walked to IT Chowk for Pandit Jee‟s joint.
Saw frail woman with young boy hesitatingly asking for alms.
They travelled distances and hungry too with no place to stay.
Something struck our mind. Inquired, if interested in opening
tea-joint nearby, which she agreed. We pooled for everything
and lo & behold “Budia Tea Shop” is ready. Later she added
snacks too. She was always grateful.
FAST FORWARD………
Time came to bid farewell to university.
Had last tea-samosa at “Budia Shop” and set out saying
goodbye never to visit her again…………
