Illustration Friday - Tea

February 28th, 2006 | Category: Art, Illustration Friday

Illustration Friday - Tea (tea)
Illustration Friday - Tea (chai)
Two illustrations for this week’s Illustration Friday topic - Tea.

The tea rituals and customs are different in different countries and societies. Tea spelled in English is blank, in whiteness, in a cup and saucer. Sophistication and minimalism. Whereas, the second image, which spells chai(tea) in Hindi on the stove grill, is about a road side tea stall where tea is prepared on a kerosene stove and served in tiny glasses.

So well, ek cup chai ho jaye?

  18. Uv March 3rd, 2006 7:08 pm

    Well it is definitely allowed… its just that “banane waali nahi hai”… Now dont come back with… “call your mom over”… you know what i mean ;)

  19. iyer education March 4th, 2006 10:55 am

    tea spelled or even had for that matter, in english is kinda wierd and yucky…
    apna desi “extra kadak cutting with adrak and masala” rocks… i wud rather prefer the latter… nice drawings / illustrations though :)

    Awesome.

  21. B March 4th, 2006 11:35 pm

    Hey,
    I’ve seen some of your pictures (here n other 1 blog also, another dinn open for me). It’s incredible. Are you perchance an artist? If you aren’t, then I’m completely dumfounded.
