In the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, there is a region popularly known as Dooars in northern West Bengal. Apart from its magnificent scenic beauty, the soil of Dooars still nurtures Tea--a world-famous beverage. The tea industry of Dooars is an excellent source of livelihood for many common people. Unfortunately, for over a decade, the tea industry there has been suffocated and encircled by many constraints. The book talks about five such dilemmas narrated through five separate short stories. Each of the characters is either from the working class or those who are closely associated with the tea garden. It gives a glimpse of their day-to-day struggle, individual aspirations, addiction, anxiety, changes in behavior due to circumstances, mass exploitation, patience, and depression. It deals with the social stigma that strongly exists in tea gardens and man-made problems. As most of the gardens are in remote areas and the scope of mixing with garden dwellers is missing, many things are not accessible and somewhat intangible to outsiders. The book provides a new perspective and fresh ideas about how life is in the tea gardens.

The ideal reference for students of botany and horticulture, gardeners, and naturalists. The diverse external shapes and structures that make up flowering plants can be bewildering and even daunting, as can the terminology used to describe them. An understanding of plant form—plant morphology—is essential to appreciating the wonders of the plant world and to the study of botany and horticulture at every level. In this ingeniously designed volume, the complex subject becomes both accessible and manageable. The first part of the book describes and clearly illustrates the major plant structures that can be seen with the naked eye or a hand lens. The second part focuses on how plants grow: bud development, the growth of reproductive organs, leaf arrangement, branching patterns, and the accumulation and loss of structures. Aimed at students of botany and horticulture, enthusiastic gardeners, and amateur naturalists, it functions as an illustrated dictionary, a basic course in plant morphology, and an intriguing and enlightening book to dip into.
