You are in our heart



“When one knows thee, then alien there is none, then no door is shut. Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose touch of the one in the play of the many.” (from Gitanjali)

Rabindranath Tagore was born at Kolkata on 7 May 1861. He died on 7 August 1941. The nation is celebrating his birthday. We pay our homage to him.

Last Curtain

Rabindranath Tagore

I know that the day will come
when my sight of this earth shall be lost,
and life will take its leave in silence,
drawing the last curtain over my eyes.


Yet stars will watch at night,

and morning rise as before,
and hours heave like sea waves casting up pleasures and pains.


When I think of this end of my moments,
the barrier of the moments breaks
and I see by the light of death
thy world with its careless treasures.
Rare is its lowliest seat,
rare is its meanest of lives.


Things that I longed for in vain

and things that I got
—let them pass.
Let me but truly possess
the things that I ever spurned
and overlooked.
