Words could rather keep me busy.
These four lines, quoted from the poem named Chithi (letter), printed in the book named Kori O Komol by the great Rabindranath Tagore addressing his niece Indira Devi, testifies to his passion for writing letters. Such a letter, penned by the Nobel Laureate, came to the light in Patisar of Atrai Upazila in Naogaon district in the school established by the poet himself.
A museum in Patisar, Naogaon, laced with the poet s memory, preserves the letter, along with seven other letters penned by his son and daughter-in-law. There is also the scanned copy of another letter the intended recipient of which is still a mystery. Its original copy is preserved in Mahasthangarh Museum in Bogura district. The yellowed papers of the letter are evocative of the poet who is unanimously credited with taking the Bangla language to the global stage and living no chord of human emotion untouched.
