A Rainy Evening at a Cafe

On a rainy evening, two friends are sitting by the large glass window of a cozy café. One friend is sipping coffee while reading a book, while the other is sketching in a notebook. Outside, the street is wet, with reflections of streetlights shimmering on the ground. A couple holding an umbrella is walking by, and a stray dog is sitting under a shop awning, avoiding the rain. The atmosphere inside the café is warm, with the glow of hanging lights, plants near the window, and the quiet hum of conversation. You are sitting at a table across from them, observing this scene. Draw this scenario from your point of view inside the café.

Designing for Tea Stall

In India, tea stall workers (chaiwala’s) prepare and serve countless cups of tea daily at bus stops, markets, and railway stations. They often struggle to carry multiple cups at once, balancing trays in crowded spaces where spillage is common. What if there was a portable, hands-free tea-carrying device that could make serving faster, spill-proof, and stylish? Design a device that a tea stall worker could use to carry and serve multiple cups of tea safely in a crowded place. It should be lightweight, compact enough to store when not in use, easy to clean, and attractive to look at. Show the device when: it is folded/packed and kept aside, and it is expanded/ready to carry cups of tea.
