Walking the vibrant streets of Ha Noi is exciting. You see many of the local men smoking tobacco from hookahs fashioned out of bamboo.
I asked this man, who was surrounded by family, if I could take his picture while he smoked. He made sure that he took a deep breath to give this impressive plume!! The whole family was thoroughly entertained and we joined them for some tea. Sometime photography is a great ice breaker. This man loved being the centre of our attention!
Anyway, this was a memorable experience and I am so happy I got an interesting portrait from it.

The Hookah's origin traces back to India. It surfaced in the form we know it as today around the 15th Century when Indian Glass manufacturing began as a result of the exporting of glass to India through the British East India Company. The glass base was called Shisha. Its mystique spread to Iran where special strong, flavorless tobacco was used with it called "Ajami". It rose to fame under the Ottoman Empire's rule around the time of Murat V in 1623-1640. The sultans of the age took portraits with their Nargiles and it became a status symbol of the time. It was smoked after royal dinners and at diplomatic meetings.
Hookahs are known around the world by many different names, such as a water pipe, nargeela/nargile/narghile/nargileh, argeela/arghileh, shisha/sheesha, okka, kalyan, or ghelyoon or ghalyan. Many of these names are of Arab, Somalian, Indian, Ethiopian, Turkish, Uzbek, or Persian origin.
Shisha, a synonym for Hookah, is from the Persian word shishe, literally translated as glass and not bottle. It is more commonly used in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Somalia.
The hookah is fascinating. Ornately decorated, the stunning water pipe is similar to the American Indian smoke pipe. Commonly used for tobacco smoking nowadays in "hip" middle eastern- or south asian- inspired restaurantes, hookahs were originally invented for opium and hashish (but not marijuana). Talk about intoxication in the real sense of the word.
