The Setup: Digital Nomads pay ₹1000/day for "Coworking Spaces." I sat at a roadside Chai Tapri (Tea Stall) on a plastic stool for 8 hours. The Cost: Only the chai I drink.

01:00 PM: A beggar asked for my headphones.

> CONCLUSION

Can you code at a tea stall? Yes. Should you? No. The savings (₹680) were not worth the back pain and the caffeine overdose. But for pure "Main Character Energy," it was unbeatable.
