I love traveling. It helps
to have relief from routine struggles of life and enjoy leisure. People spend a lot of money to visit new
places, to relax in beautiful environment and explore Nature’s secrets. Travel industry provides pleasure to people
interested in discovering wonderful world.
In some parts of the world, tourism is so well developed that it forms
the main source of income of that place.
Tourism provides employment to all categories of people depending on
their ability to serve the tourist. Not
only the star hotels but the road-side hawkers and food vendors also eke out
their living serving the tourists.
Many times on the journey to the destination via road there
will be many stalls of local artifacts or food.
Araku valley in Vishakhapatnam of AP has many coffee plantations. On the way to Araku on the road-side are
coffee sellers. The coffee is made from
fresh coffee powder and dairy milk. The taste of coffee is so excellent that
the aroma lingers in mouth for a very long time.
We had coffee on return journey from Araku. Here is the woman who had a kerosene stoves
and tin sheet to protect the flame being put out in the open air. She had fresh coffee powder with her. On ordering six cups of coffee, she lighted
the stove, boiled some water. He husband
got half-a-litre of dairy milk packet which she emptied into a bowel and heated
on another stove. Within half an hour
she made sizzling hot coffee, the aroma filling the air around, made everyone
active. The cup of coffee relieved
everyone of the tiresome journey to and from Araku.
If ever you are visiting Araku valley do not miss the
delicious coffee made by the road-side coffee stalls.
