During his car journey to Dhekiabari, Rajvir was captivated by the scenic beauty of the Assam tea country. He saw vast expanses of neatly pruned tea bushes stretching as far as the eye could see, resembling a sea of green. Amidst these tea gardens were tall, sturdy shade-trees. He also observed groups of tea-pluckers, wearing plastic aprons with bamboo baskets on their backs, busily plucking the newly sprouted tea leaves.
