Extra Questions - Tea from Assam | First Flight | Class 10 Literature | CBSE English

"Chai-garam ... garam-chai," a vendor called out in a high-pitched voice. He came up to their window and asked, "Chai, sa'ab?" "Give us two cups," Pranjol said. They sipped the steaming hot liquid. Almost everyone in their compartment was drinking tea too. "Do you know that over eighty crore cups of tea are drunk every day throughout the world?" Rajvir said. "Whew!" exclaimed Pranjol. "Tea really is very popular." 

a. Why did Pranjol think that tea is very popular? 
b. Where were they at this time? 
c. What did they do thereafter?

a. Pranjol thought that tea is very popular because almost everyone in their train compartment was drinking tea. The fact that tea was being consumed by a majority of people around them indicated its widespread popularity. Additionally, Rajvir mentioned that over eighty crore (800 million) cups of tea are consumed daily worldwide, which further emphasized the popularity and global reach of tea as a beverage.

b. They were on a train at the time when the vendor called out and offered them tea. The vendor's high-pitched voice and the interaction through the window imply that they were travelling on a train compartment, possibly during a stop.

c. After sipping the tea, Pranjol got busy engrossed in his detective book, while Rajvir continued to enjoy the scenic views outside the train.

We have an Indian legend too. Bodhidharma, an ancient Buddhist ascetic, cut off his eyelids because he felt sleepy during meditations. Ten tea plants grew out of the eyelids. The leaves of these plants when put in hot water and drunk banished sleep. "Tea was first drunk in China," Rajvir added, "as far back as 2700 BC! In fact words such as tea, 'chai' and 'chini' are from Chinese. Tea came to Europe only in the sixteenth century and was drunk more as medicine than as beverage." 

a. What is the legend of Bodhidharma? 
b. What other legends are there? 
c. What is the difference between a medicine and a beverage?
