We may find it in the street sides, at the bus, the lunch & the railway stations, in the front of an office, by the side of a cinema hall. A few benches or chairs with tables are placed in a tea-stall. The customers sit here for taking tea & light refreshment. It is frequented by the weary passers-by, the tired official assistants, the fatigued laborers  the exhausted rickshaw pullers as well as the students & political workers. While taking tea they go o gossiping in groups on any kind of subject & it is called a mini Sangsad. It is, in fact, a pleasure resort of people of all age groups & of all walks of life. It opens early in the morning & closes late at night. People of various classes & tastes gather here.  As a result, it is usually a busy place where people can share their weal & woe.
