Shree Sai Ram Tea Stall

If you find yourself near the Baroda Productivity Council on Productivity Road, you'll probably see where we set up. It's Dadar East, so things are always moving fast. Shree Sai Ram Tea Stall is just a small spot, really. We've been here quite a while now. Every morning we start before the sun is even up properly. The first thing is getting the stove going and making sure the milk is ready. People coming for work or those just passing through the area usually stop by for a quick cup. It’s a lot of the same faces every day, which is nice because you get to know what people like without them even saying it. The road outside can get pretty loud with all the buses and cars, but you get used to it after a few years. We don't have fancy seats or a big menu. It's just tea and a few other things for the office crowd nearby. Sometimes the rain makes things difficult, but we manage to keep things dry enough under the awning. We don't really think about it as a big business or anything. It’s just what we do to get by. Most of our day is spent pouring tea and cleaning up glasses. It keeps us busy from morning until late evening when the offices finally start to close up and everyone goes home.
