Tea Garden Angels!
The most hard working but least paid yet there are so many priceless and countless things to learn from them..
contentment, compassion, care, honesty, humility, hospitality, sweetness, sacrifice, patience, calmness, trust and above all is to be happy always regardless of calamity, struggles and all other odds.
Abandoned and deprived from any opportunities, enjoyments and material pleasures of the city dwellers these great souls are the embodiment of peace and love. Living a happy life in midst of scarcity as a separate community. Its due to their heart & soul effort that we are having a finest quality Darjeeling tea cup in our home at our comfort. But after all this, they could gather a mere three thousand at the months end and its a matter to think upon by the educated world that is it justified and sufficient for them to survive? while the big Tea Industries are making huge profits resting on their shoulders and when its time to show some humanity to increase their wages there is nobody who could enrich their livelihoods and bring a little smile. Only God knows when the industry men will show some favor. Can there be some other way to help them? ...surely there is! if and only some NGO's can team up, visit these remote places and take up an action plan for imparting education and health also the development authority could serve a little to develop roadways. This will serve as a great help but may be it is too much to hope in this small life; it could have been possible but may be in the next era as the present condition is so miserable and distressful, that somewhat it will look like going back a few decades in time machine.
I am grateful to meet these wonderful human beings and what I feel is that the qualities they have are far more superior than thousands and lakhs of materialistic greedy inhuman's of this generation.
My deep love and salute to you all who takes care of the hills and the gardens.. may God be always with you !!!
Keep Smiling no matter what and keep your hopes alive. You all are my angels.
