Its a book very different from his usual style of writing.
Nonetheless its a rare gem. Such beautiful poetic description of beautiful Bengali ppl , their culture, and land . The helpless pain of seeing the degradation of heritage @ Vishwa Bharati.
The entire description just flows naturally , smoothly touching every aspect of Benagl and Rabindranath Tagore's life
