| There are no tea-stalls in Kashmir other than very temporary set-ups at festivals and carnivals, or on Sundays or holidays at the Mughal gardens. A cup (or a pot) of tea may, however, be ordered in several places which sell snacks and/or sweetmeats. |
Ashok: Give me a cup of tea, please. 
Tea seller: Please sit down. What kind of tea, Kashmiri or Lipton? 
Ashok: Lipton. 
Tea seller: Shall I add sugar and milk? 
Ashok: Yes, but only a little. 
Tea seller: Here you are. 
Ashok: How much do I pay? 
Tea seller: Just fifty paise. 
Ashok: Here, take this one-rupee bill (note). 
Tea seller: Here is your change. 
Ashok: Thank you. |
