(SUBHO RABINDRA JAYANTI)

.

The writings of Gurudev or Rabindranath Tagore had been introduced to me quite early as a kid, in the form of his Rabindra Sangeet and collection of poems for children. The "Gitobitan" and the "Gitanjali" are parts of almost every Bengali household and rightly so. Since childhood his work was interesting to me, whether in the form of delightful stories like "Kabuliwalah" or touching songs like "purano shei diner kotha", but as I grew up and discovered more of him myself, read his novels and other stories, my admiration just kept growing. The range of topics that his work covers are astonishing and leaves you wondering how a man could write so much magic in one life. The winner of a Nobel prize for literature, his contribution to the subject is boundless and deserves to be remembered for many more generations ahead. Hope in our effort towards modernisation, we do not leave behind the legacy of such great Indian writers and lift the standard of current Indian literature to where it was once upon a time.❤
