"Life in a tea garden is like living a king's life". Spending about 17 years of my life in a tea estate, this is one thing I have personally experienced that the statement above is so true.
Staying in those big wooden, British style bungalows with big lawns, kitchen gardens and beautiful sit-outs is just not enough; to add on to it are the huge rooms, corridors, a proper dinning hall with a big dinner table, is truly an awesome experience. The bed tea that is provided to you in the exact time you'd ask for; and later the dinner table that is already set ready with neatly ironed table cloth, plates and spoons and to give it a western touch, of course the napkins. Before you could come and pull your chair,they are already kept ready for you.
Well, this was all about the spending your life in a Bungalow.
Apart from this there are Planters Club or Sports Club which organises club days for the planters for their relaxation and enjoyment. A lot of activities are held and lunch, dinner or evening tea is served with great zeal.
Activities like flower arrangements, jam making,crafts,etc. are organised for everyone, this helps in meeting and socialising with other members of the other tea estates.
Cricket and Football tournaments are also organised for both the stuffs and workers of different tea estates every year. Golf is a famous game played here,it is a great exercise and a very relaxing sports.
It is surely a great experience and life in a tea estate. And one can never really afford to loose an opportunity to lead a comfortable life like this one.Staying here, one can correctly say "live life king size".
