Chai is a staple of daily life in India, consumed first thing in the morning, after every meal, and before bedtime. With tea stalls in every corner of the country, it’s no surprise that this tea seller’s story touched so many people.
Many online users were moved by the touching video, which depicted an elderly tea vendor serving tea beneath a majestic tree. Among those moved by the video was prominent industrialist Anand Mahindra, who expressed his admiration on Twitter.
“There are many sights to see in Amritsar. But the next time I visit the city, apart from visiting the Golden Temple, I will make it a point to visit this ‘Temple of Tea Service’ that Baba has apparently run for over 40 years. Our hearts are potentially the largest temples.”
