Harvesting Dreams

Bol

What do a near-fatal leopard attack, a late-career MBA in Australia, and a legacy rooted deep in Assam's tea gardens have in common? They are all threads in the extraordinary life of Rohinton Babaycon.In Harvesting Dreams, Babaycon - retired planter, spirited raconteur, quiet revolutionary in India's tea industry and proud 'Assamese-Parsi' - traces his journey from a boarding school in Panchgani to the rain-soaked estates of Assam, where he spent decades nurturing both tea and community. With warmth and insight, he recalls moments of high adventure and quiet introspection: the turbulence of insurgency, the camaraderie of club life, the scent of first-flush leaves, the ache of personal loss, and the thrill of late-life rediscovery.Woven with dry wit, vivid detail and a deep affection for the land and its people, Harvesting Dreams offers a rare insider's view of India's tea industry. It is more than a memoir; it's a portrait of transformation, resilience and a life lived with purpose, humour and heart.
