If you want to read just one
author and just one form of writing, it has to be Tagore and his short stories.
I enjoyed reading ‘Cabuliwallah’ in my childhood, I think the new generation
would also see value in his stories. All those students in schools, rebels at
college, individuals with earning or no earning, middle aged going through a
crisis, all kinds of people from all walks of like can find themselves or their
future beings in Tagore’s stories.
Does not matter if you want
to read a quick story in a bus or have whole night for reading, it is not the
time you spend in reading but it is the time you spend later on to digest the
story because the emotions triggered will not settle down so easily. It is stories like ‘The child’s return’ and ‘The trust property’ which moved me
inwards and it took good time for me to come out of melancholy.
Want to get in touch with your human side again? Let Tagore
be with you.
