Photographer's Note
An elderly Rajasthani enjoys a very hot cup of masala chai
Masala chai is a flavoured tea beverage made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices, milk, sugar and herbs. There is a sweetness and strong-bodied flavour to this classic drink unlike any other cup of tea. Chai is the lifeblood, the national drink and served almost everywhere in Rajasthan all the times of day or night.
A glass of steaming creamy spiced liquid is the perfect antidote for getting started into the days activities which pervades the social and cultural atmosphere of the country. It's on the fly snapshot of street life in Jaipur.
Setting: 50 mm, 1/20 sec, F7, ISO Raw 200, 1714 hrs

Bonjour Abmdsudi,
Tu as vraiment le don de saisir l'essence du moment en plus d'être très doué pour le portrait. Les deux hommes se sont bien prêtés à l'exercice. J'aime beaucoup le mur en arrière plan.
Amicalement

a nice slice of daily life. I was interested to see how very few people now smoke beedhis as opposed to a few years ago. at a certain moment I smelt a beedhi being smoked and was instantly transmitted to years gone by.

Hello Abmdsudi,
You are teaching much about the social and visual delights of India. Though I have never tasted this type of tea, I am definitely a tea drinker. Would you believe, there are a few tea farms in England now!
The facial expressions of these two makes the shot! We have a very open, friendly expression from one whilst the other is surveying his companion in a very quizzical fashion!
As always, the exposure is first rate.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Abmdsudi
I'm not surprised that tea is so popular in India when places like Darjeeling are world famous for producing top quality tea. I was more surprised that despite Turkey being famous for Turkish coffee, most people actually drink black tea there! Good dual portrait of the 2 tea drinkers. Tfs!

Hello Abmdsudi,
Excellent photo of these two men during tea break. The portrait is superb, it really shows the man on the left whilst enjoying a quiet and relaxed moment with his cup of tea. The sharpness is great and shows the fine textures of the wall in the background very clearly. The colours go really well together too, the mix of the brown background, the red turban and the purple clothes is very appealing.

Hello abm,
superb double portrait of these two Rajasthani with masala chai. I am addicted to tea but I took my own tea going to India. I do not like tea with milk and sugar, brrr. China is better in this respect.

Hi Abmdsudi
Wonderful double portrait and a street scene. I love the man's expression as he appears to be posing for your photo but at the same time just enjoying his tea. Beautful muted colours complete the scene.
Brings memories of numerous caps of chai I had in Pakistan.
Best wishes

Hello Abmdsudi,
This is very nice people photography, you seem to be an expert at it. For some reason, I need to work up a lot of courage to photograph total strangers, so i don't do much of it. I love the colors and textures.

so cool to have the man on the right looking at the other man, and the man on the left - his wrinkles are A+. love the colored wall, and the clothing...super shot.
