Summary of “Glimpses of India”

This story is related to a baker from Goa, who was living in a Goan village while the Portuguese ruling Goa.  Those days, People like to have loaves of bread which are prepared in big furnaces. Generally, bakers are called padres and they will sell their bread in the streets by creating bamboo jingle sound. But nowadays people could not find loaves although some traditional bakers followed the traditional business of their forefathers. Meanwhile, the authors remembered the bakers coming on the streets twice a day during their childhood. At that time, the maidservant of the author’s home would buy loaves of bread and gave them to have with tea. During that time, bread held an important part in their occasion, especially sweet bread and Bol. So, baking remained a profitable business at that time. At that time baker’s peculiar dress was kabai, which would look like a single-piece frock that would reach up to the knees.


In Karnataka, Coorg is the smallest district - which is also named Kodagu.  The narrator described Coorg as a heavenly place, which was located between Mangalore and Mysore. This place was called God's abode, which was rich in evergreen forests, spices and coffee plantations. This place is best for tourism between September and March. Because this place will have good weather and air filled with the aroma of coffee. According to the famous story, the Greek or Arabic descent of the Coorg people were part of Alexander's army, they settled here, especially because they admired the location. 


Even nowadays we can notice that Coorg people wear kuppai, which is similar to the kuffia of Arabs. 


Coorg people were also named for brave. One of the significant regiments of the Indian Army is the Coorg regiment. General Cariappa, the first army chief was also from Coorg. The Coorg is the main source of River Cauvery, where the largest freshwater fish Mahaseer can be found. Brahmagiri hills were the best place to see the Coorg viewpoint. Also, Bylakuppe was named for Buddhists monks. 


The author started the last story related to Tea from Assam by introducing his two friends Rajvir and Pranjol, with whom he travelled to Assam. Here, they bought tea from a roadside vendor. While tasting it, Rajvir told Pranjol that people from all over the world may taste about 800,000,000 cups of tea from here. Then Rajvir started looking towards beautiful and serene scenery, which was full of tea bushes and some buildings among them. As Assam was known for its largest tea plantation. And Pranjol started reading an interesting detective book. Many legends tried to identify the discovery of tea. As per Chinese legend, tea was discovered when a few branches of tea fell accidentally inside the boiled water. Later, the Emperor liked the flavour and became popular. According to Indian legend, Buddhist Monk Bodhidharma grew about ten tea plants and grew teas while meditating. Because it helped him to avoid sleep during meditation. Later, they returned to  Mariani Junction and went to Dhekiabari Tea Estate and noticed women plucking tea leaves. Then, the father of Pranjol came and received them and explained more information about the tea plantation.

II. 

1. Compare the piece from the text (on the left below) with the other piece on Goan bakers (on the right). What makes the two texts so different? Are the facts the same? Do both writers give you a picture of the baker?

Our elders are often heard reminiscing nostalgically about those good old Portuguese days, the Portuguese and their famous loaves of bread. Those eaters of loaves might have vanished but the makers are still there. We still have amongst us the mixers, the moulders and those who bake the loaves. Those age-old, time-tested furnaces still exist. The fire in the furnaces had not yet been extinguished. The thud and the jingle of the traditional baker’s bamboo, heralding his arrival in the morning, can still be heard in some places. Maybe the father is not alive but the son still carries on the family profession.

After Goa’s liberation, people used to say nostalgically that the Portuguese bread vanished with the padres. But the padres have managed to survive because they have perfected the art of door-to-door delivery service. The padres pick up the knowledge of breadmaking from traditions in the family. The leavened, oven-baked bread is a gift of the Portuguese to India. (Adapted from Nandakumar Kamat’s ‘The Unsung Lives of Goan Padres’)

Reading and Writing

1. Read the following passage about tea. India and tea are so intertwined together that life without the brew is unimaginable. Tea entered our life only in the mid-nineteenth century when the British started plantations in Assam and Darjeeling! In the beginning, though, Indians shunned the drink as they thought it was a poison that led to umpteen diseases. Ironically, tea colonised Britain where it became a part of their social diary and also led to the establishment of numerous tea houses

Today, scientific research across the world has attempted to establish the beneficial qualities of tea — a fact the Japanese and the Chinese knew anyway from ancient times, attributing to its that arean  numerous medicinal properties. (Source: ‘History: Tea Anytime’ by Ranjit Biswas from Literary Review, The Hindu, 1 October 2006) Collect information about tea, e.g. its evolution as a drink, its beneficial qualities. You can consult an encyclopaedia or visit Internet websites. Then form groups of five and play the following roles: Imagine a meeting of a tea planter, a sales agent, a tea lover (consumer), a physician and a tea-shop owner. Each person in the group has to put forward his/her views about tea. You may use the following words and phrases. 

I feel ... 

It is important to know ... 

I disagree with you ... 

I think that tea ... 

I would like you to know ... 

I agree with ... 

It is my feeling ... 

I suggest ... 

May I know why you ... 

I am afraid ...

Ans: History of Tea

Tea is one of the most popular beverages on the planet. This aromatic drink is prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over freshly prepared tea leaves. This drink is native to China and East Asia. It has a stimulating and calming effect on the brain due to the caffeine in it. Its history traces back to a text written by Hua Tuo in the 3rd century and was popular during the Tang dynasty. It was the Portuguese merchants who introduced tea to the Western world. They gradually picked up the tea-drinking culture and it became a fashionable activity in social settings. Over the years it has become the most popularly manufactured drink and consumed equally as coffee and alcohol. Most of the plantations are in hilly areas of India and Sri Lanka.

Conversation

Tea Lover: I drink tea as soon as I get out of bed. It's so simple to make and refreshes you for the day.

Sales Agent: Yes! I visit Darjeeling almost twice a year to get stock for my shop. The plantations are so beautiful but the process is intensive.

Tea-shop owner: I never thought for getting tea you would have to travel so much. But the quality we get is so worth it.
