The story is from a girl's perspective, her love, respect, obey for Tagore... when she met tagore it felt like a fan met her hero... Her look on love, her fell in love with a foreigner, old bengal and India, she went to see her the foreigner in his country at her later life... The hearty and all most honest narration of the author Maitreyi Devi hooked me to the book

I have read short stories of Tagore...the best book till date...it was only his compilation...

I liked the depiction of Benagli literature in old movies too...and Tagore's description of Bengal itself created so many scenic imaginations...

I have also read dectictive short stories of Satyajit Ray another masterpiece.

Latest mein I like Chetan Bhagat.

yes very true, I read all the short stories of Tagore in my teenage

And coming to Satyajit Ray "Feluda", I think the most entertaining private detective, better than Holmes from My POV...

I read 3 mistakes, 5 point some one - by bhagat, I like his look on life... But his stories are masaledar and filmy 😊

Have not been reading these days's but did a lot during school and collage days.

Big fan of Ayn Rand. Atlas shrugged and Fountainhead. Love her philosophical system she calls Objectivism. What characters and what strength in their convictions. I Amy not be fully into Objectivism, but I like strong people who are strong and believe in whatever they believe in and stand by it.

Like other authors too.. You made me think about all of them, I think books can help us develop our character all we have to do is to just pick some good qualities and make it part of our life..

Good post. 👍🏼
