Tagore dons many feathers in cap as a writer and that he is not just intense writer who takes to all surreal concepts. Rather in the above book which is a compilation of many short stories, there are so many things the writer is talking about but in the most simple and conversational manner. Even though, upon deeper analysis one can find a kind of contrast that he trying to draw. This could be about how his countrymen are putting up the exhausting and selfish practices of the British Raj on one hand and the obsolete way of life of their own society. The stories, even though have been written in the more engaging manner, but somehow there is a major miss when it comes to revealing the climax and that the reader then is left with his stimulated imagination to figure out what would have happened. But then this is probably what the writer intends to do.
Rabindranath Tagore 7 May 1861 - 7 August 1941 was a Bengali polymath who was active as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, educationist and painter during the age of Bengal Renaissance. He reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful" poetry of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European and the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; where his elegant prose and magical poetry were widely popular in the Indian subcontinent. He was a fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society. Referred to as "the Bard of Bengal", Tagore was known by sobriquets: Gurudeb, Kobiguru, and Biswokobi.A Bengali Brahmin from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Burdwan district and Jessore, Tagore wrote poetry as an eight-year-old. At the age of sixteen, he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bh¿nusi¿ha ("Sun Lion"), which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics. By 1877 he graduated to his first short stories and dramas, published under his real name. As a humanist, universalist, internationalist, and ardent critic of nationalism, he denounced the British Raj and advocated independence from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in his founding of Visva-Bharati University.
