Jeetu Bhai has been preparing tea in his push cart for over a decade, he adds crushed ginger, elaichi and freshly plucked tulsi from bush near by.

He offers biscuits to stray dogs and when they seem to refuse he generously serves them sweet boondis prepared in desi ghee from the mithai shop next door.
