Yesterday, I have read book containing stories of Rabindranath tagore. It was such an amazing experience! I have always believed that a story tells more about the its writer than it tells about the characters written. And if this view of mine holds true, then Yesterday I had a chance to interact with one of the greatest geniuses ever in our country, Gurudev aka Rabindranath Togore sir. It feels as if through his stories, he gives us, citizens of polluted and industrial age, a chance to visit a beautiful nature of Bengal then. So vivid and detailed description of environment and society around that hardly be found any where else. His stories reflect how he must have sat in nature for hours and observed minute and finest details there. His stories touch all human emotions. They have in them, love , revenge, sacrifice, jealousy, death, social evil, innocence and what not. Initially, it is tough to understand we aren't accustomed to the old kind archaic form of language prevailing then but you are comfortable, he takes on a wonderful ride thereforth. He showcases rich Bengali culture, he introduces you to British ruled era. In fact, he makes you live that era through his characters! And I really think you just can't get enough of it. By the time you finish one, in mind you are already busy planning which of his other works are you going to read next?
