Explanation:
- A marvellous tea estate and tea garden, that is the Dhekiabari tea garden is situated in the Upper Assam.
- Mr. Barua, Pranjol’s father, was a manager at the Dhekiabari tea garden.
- While Pranjol and Rajvir were touring to the Dhekiaberi tea garden via train, they noticed paddy fields and green forests on the way and afterwards they saw the tea bushes.
- There were acres of tea bushes on either side which were all precisely pruned.
- When they reached the Dhekiaberi tea garden, they witnessed that the tea bushes were organized and pruned neatly at the same height.
- The tea pickers were working in groups and they carried bamboo baskets on their backs. They were all plucking the tender and new leaf sprouts and were filling them into their baskets.
Answer:
When the train arrived at Mariani junction, Pranjol
and Rajvir collected their luggage and pushed their
way to the crowded platform where Pranjol’s parents
were waiting for them. Soon, they were driving towards
Dhekiabari. the tea-garden managed by Pranjol’s
father. An hour into the journey, they crossed a cattlebridge and entered the Dhekiabari Tea Estate.
In the tea-estate, on both sides of the gravel-road,
Rajvir saw acre upon acre of tea bushes which were all
neatly pruned to the same height. He also saw groups
of tea-pluckers with bamboo baskets, wearing plastic
aprons, who were plucking the newly sprouted leaves.
Seeing this sight, Rajvir asked Pranjol’s father if that
was the second plush or sprouting period that lasted
from May to July and yielded the best tea. Pranjol’s
father was surprised by Rajvir’s knowledge of the
tea gardens and said that Rajvir must have done his
homework before coming to Assam.
