6. In his 20s, Tagore would often go in a houseboat
and spend days travelling on the mighty river.
The poems he wrote there are an essential part
of his literary canon.
His time in Shilaidaha, the “obscure Bengal village” where he lived “in utmost
seclusion…in a boat house.
The wild ducks which came during the time of autumn from the Himalayan
lakes were my only living companions and in that solitude I seem to have
drunk in the open space like wine overflowing with sunshine and the murmur
of the river used to speak to me and tell me the secrets of nature. And I
passed my days in the solitude dreaming and giving shape to my dream in
poems….” Tagore was wistful about the silence that helped him reflect and
contemplate, and he doubted if Western poets and writers had the opportunity
to spend their youth in such absolute seclusion

8. Here, he was influenced by the
natural beauty and simple but
elegant life of rural Bengal. Attended
session of Indian National Congress
and sang the
song Vandemataram on the opening
day. Wrote famous dance/musical
drama - Chitrangada. His youngest
daughter Mira was born in 1892. In
1894 , wrote famous collection
poems - Sonar Tari (The Golden
Boat). Son Samindra was born in
1894.

13. If you’re expecting the world to be fair with
you because you are fair to the world, you’re
fooling yourself.
It’s like expecting the lion not to eat you
because you didn’t eat the lion.
