Yadav has been a resident of Calcutta (Kolkata) for over 25 years. He had come into the city holding his father’s hand & after trying his luck at many different occupations to support his family, Yadav finally settled with a road side tea stall.
.
It was about 8:00 PM in the city & the weather was humid. The temperature, even after sundown was about 95 F but Yadav, probably from his long habit, did not mind the bellowing heat, smoke & soot from the earthen oven. His customers were the local folks who came bye almost every evening after work. He also cooks up some quick tiffin with bread & eggs for the hungry ones, but most of what he sells during the day is tea - for about INR 1.50 a cup!

The picture was taken on hand held Nikon D200 with a wide angle lens in available fluorescent light without any flash light. The cropping & minor color temperature correction was done using Adobe Photoshop.
