Reading Books of Ravindranath Tagore

I am reading a book by Ravindranath Tagore means his Bengali stories are been translated in English by William Radice ..
The stories are so good that anyone can't resist reading the book..
My mom who just don't read English books have started it reading it ....

Personally I like the story 'KABULIWALLH' . A story of a small girl Mini and a Kabuliwallah who is selling nuts and raisins bought from his homeland Afganistan going door-to-door..

The story is so heart-touching that anyone cannot think that its end is immensely sorrowful...

Good if you get it read it .....

|| Om Namah Shivay || It was an extreme pleasurable day for me today. The people who read my blog was interested in knowing more about the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Thanks all for the blessings and response. The readers response gave me motivation to write more about the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Thanks once again !!! Today I am going to discuss about how one can avail the ticket to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Major of the part is based on luck but still one can try and get the ticket. I applied for the first time and was lucky to get selected for the same. They say Mount Kailash has a calling and once you are called no one can take you aback.

Raigad Pradakshina

Thanks to my dear friend Mandar P as he was ready to come with me for ' Raigad Pradakshina '. i had been many times to the fort before but this experience was first kind in which I enjoyed the joy of being Marathi and I am very lucky to say that "I am proud of MAHARASHTRA" as well as "INDIA". This is the only country where you can feel nostalgic. The nature was so good, we took about 6 hours to complete the whole round. Kiran Shelar is a good guy of history. If you want any information about Marathas history he can tell you within seconds and the photos he had captured in his mobile of Vikramgad was awful. Also he gave us new vision to see towards history........... I can say that and now busy with collecting information about Maratha Empire.

The story was very short but it had all the ingredients a story needs. The emotions, the laugh, the humour, the hatred, the love, etc. It was a story of a man from Kabul, who used to sell the nuts and raisins he use to bring from Kabul, Afghanistan. Set in late 1800s or early 1900s it had all the emotions before the India was freed from the British Rule. The story is narrated in such a way that you can literally feel the streets of Calcutta.

The relation between both of them is warm and friendly. One day when father of Mini sees police taking away Kabuliwallah in the jail and is charged for a murder. After completing his jail term (most...
