During the train journey to Assam, Pranjol read his detective novel while Rajvir gazed at the scenic beauty outside. Rajvir was deeply fascinated by the lush green landscape and the vast stretches of tea gardens he had never seen before.
Rajvir also shared interesting legends about the origin of tea with Pranjol — the Chinese emperor's legend and the Indian legend of Bodhidharma. He mentioned that tea was first drunk in China around 2700 B.C. and came to Europe only in the sixteenth century.
Rajvir did all this because he had read extensively about tea before the trip and was genuinely excited to visit a tea garden for the first time.
