Introduction
As visitors cross the cattle-bridge and enter Dhekiabari Tea Estate, they are welcomed by a picturesque landscape that is emblematic of tea estates in the region. Among the various sights, the neatly pruned tea bushes stand out, creating a serene and organized environment.
Neatly Pruned Tea Bushes

- Sign of Care: Neatly pruned bushes indicate that the estate is well-managed. Pruning is essential for the health and productivity of the tea plants, ensuring that they can produce high-quality leaves for harvesting.
- Experience of Visitors: For visitors, the sight of these meticulously maintained bushes enhances the overall experience. It symbolizes the hard work of the tea estate workers and the rich culture of tea cultivation.
Contrast with Other Options
- Herds of Cattle Grazing: While cattle may be present, they do not define the essence of a tea estate.
- Tea-Pluckers in Traditional Attire: Although tea-pluckers are integral to the tea-making process, they are not the first thing that greets visitors at the entrance.
- Rows of Flowering Plants: Flowering plants may exist but are secondary to the tea bushes in creating the landscape's primary identity.

Deepa Iyer answered |
- Till the mid-1960s, the seeds used in cultivation were traditional ones with relatively low yields. Traditional seeds needed less irrigation.
- Farmers used cowdung and other natural manure as fertilizers. All these were readily available with the farmers who did not have to buy them. The Green Revolution in the late 1960s introduced the Indian farmer to cultivation of wheat and rice using high yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds.
- Compared to the traditional seeds, the HYV seeds promised to produce much greater amounts of grain on a single plant. As a result, the same piece of land would now produce far larger quantities of foodgrains than was possible earlier.
- HYV seeds, however, needed plenty of water and also chemical fertilizers and pesticides to produce best results. Higher yields were possible only from a combination of HYV seeds, irrigation, chemical fertilisers, pesticides, etc.

Understanding Pranjol's Perspective
Pranjol's reaction to Rajvir's excitement over the tea gardens is indicative of his familiarity with the surroundings.
Indifference to the Beauty
- Pranjol, having grown up in Assam, where tea gardens are a common sight, exhibits a sense of indifference.
- He is accustomed to the lush landscapes and the sprawling tea estates, which leads him to view them as a norm rather than a marvel.
Contrast with Rajvir's Enthusiasm
- Rajvir, on the other hand, is visiting the tea gardens for the first time and is captivated by their beauty.
- His excitement is fueled by the novelty of the experience, contrasting sharply with Pranjol's nonchalant attitude.
Implications of Indifference
- This indifference highlights the difference in perceptions between someone who experiences something regularly and someone encountering it for the first time.
- Pranjol’s familiarity leads him to appreciate other aspects of life, perhaps focusing on different interests beyond the scenic beauty that Rajvir finds enchanting.
Conclusion
In summary, Pranjol's indifference stems from his habitual exposure to the tea gardens. This perspective emphasizes how experiences shape our perceptions and reactions to beauty in our environment. Rajvir’s excitement serves as a reminder of the joy found in new experiences, while Pranjol represents the often-overlooked appreciation that comes with familiarity.
