'Legendary': US Traveller Gets Personalised Caricature With Coffee For ₹80 In Kolkata Shop - VIDEO · freepressjournal.in

A man from the United States went to a small coffee shop in Kolkata, India.

The shop is run by an artist named Shyama Prasad Dey.

Mr. Dey has been running the shop for about thirty years.

He serves coffee and also draws funny pictures of people called caricatures.

The traveller, whose name is Markus, saw many drawings on the walls.

Some of the drawings were of famous Indian people, like a cricket player named Sourav Ganguly.

Markus was very surprised to learn that Mr. Dey had even been on a TV show with Mr. Ganguly.

Mr. Dey decided to draw a caricature of Markus.

When Markus asked how much it cost, Mr. Dey said the coffee and the drawing together were only 80 rupees.

That is less than one dollar.

Markus was very happy and said 'Cheers' with his coffee.
