There was one thing, I was made to realise, quite early in my life.
Besides the ten thousand eleven hundred and eighty gods, from the myths, we had one more, who was a patent household god, for every Bengali.
Rabindranath Tagore!!!
Well, for sure, he was a god, but, more because of his name!!
Ya, I mean, literally!!!
Thakur, in Bengali, refers to God, and that's how Tagore is pronounced in Bengali, rather, thew other way round!!
My grandfather was a lesser known poet of his times, because, there wasn't Facebook or Twitter!! And, my dad was also quite much into science literature. So, the writing lukeworm was pretty much genetic!!!
But, I so hated being a Bengali, and a writer, at the same time!!
I mean, Tagore had already driven every sane, nuts, with his omnipresence in the academic syllabus!!! And, for the worst part, no matter whatever you write, it has been already written!!!
No wonder, Tagore never attended school!!!
