150th birthday of the bard

As a Bengali, you grow up with Rabindranath and then he grows onto you. In Bengal we idolize Tagore, na na Rabindranath Thakur... No, not because we think he's god but because he found godliness in human beings. He was human, he made mistakes, he learnt from them. On the bard's 150th birthday, this is to thank him for letting us find comfort in him, in every imaginable human emotional situation. This Rabindra Jayanti, here's to a true human being, with all his blots and halos- here's to humanity, the biggest truth in the world!
