"Meet Chhotu, Who Isn't Chhota anymore but the name carries a special significance to him.

He is a "Chai Wala" who has this tea stall at the road side at Nehru Place, Delhi. He has been working here since childhood along with his brother. This family business is being carried on from the past 20 years, and now he has taken over the stall from his brother to earn some bread for his family. They travelled all the way from Darbhanga in Bihar to Delhi in order to earn some basic necessities of life but this modern town is hard to live in. However, he is quite satisfied with the job as he doesn't need to listen to anyone and can carry on with his work according to his will.

Earlier he was a bit uncomfortable when he got to know that I am going to photograph him with a camera but as the conversation began, he was really happy to know that I, a modern day Delhi girl, had some time to speak to him."
