If you like your phuchka tok beshi, jhal beshi (extra sour, extra hot), this is the T-shirt for you! It is the next frontier in fashion—but you knew that already. What you did not know perhaps is that beneath this breathtaking design lies an ingenious utility. When you are waiting for phuchka your mouth full of drool, this T-shirt saves you the embarrassment of opening your mouth to tell your phuchkawala how you want your phuchka made.
This T-shirt is illustrated by artist Satrajit Choudhury. The image is a parody of 'The Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo. The phuchkawala here, like his counterpart in the original fresco, can be seen attempting a task entirely life-giving, i.e., serving phuchka to the hungry. Follow Satrajit's Facebook page 'Comics by Satra' (@satracomics) for more delightful illustrations featuring superheroes, 90s nostalgia, scenes from everyday life, and cats!
This t-shirt will be screen-printed to perfection on a light blue 100% cotton Redwolf branded tee.
