Don’t ask me how I find these things.

Actually, I would love to talk to you about how I find these things. The world is filled with beautiful and inspirational things.

“A wallah is one who performs a specific task.” They perform it over and over and over again, developing that task into an art form. Patrick Shaw has more to say about this in his post about chai wallahs: http://chaipilgrimage.com/2008/11/28/what-is-a-chai-wallah/

I think we need more chai wallahs in the world.  Actually, I think they are all over the place.  The problem is that we don’t see them…or they don’t allow themselves to be seen.  It’s a shame because they add color where color is needed in what can otherwise be a monotone landscape.

So, now I am asking myself, “And you are the wallah of…what?”

I don’t know. It would be a good idea to become the wallah of something, though. Wouldn’t it?

And you…you are the wallah of…what?
