7 May 1861
Rabindranath Tagore was born at Jorasanko Thakur Bari in the Bengal Presidency, India.
This year marks his 165th birth anniversary.
The occasion inspired me to revisit the small collection of his works in my library.
Over the coming month, I have chosen to curate and share excerpts from his books.


















A poem I had written, on our visit to Tagore’s Shantiniketan, West Bengal

And a sketch that I had made while we were there, on Friday, June 8, 2012.
