A beautiful collection of snippets translated from Bengali to English by the author, Rabindranath Tagore.
Pick it up anytime, read a few lines and its bound to leave you lost in thoughts. Short verses with profound meaning. Refreshes, if you are tired or dejected.
The opening lines:
STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.
You can read this online too. But the book doesnt really cost much. Rs 30 or 50. I'd say definitely worth it.
