Honoring Rabindranath Tagore

When the history lessons about India's independence struggle are far down the memory lane, here came an event to revisit it.

One of the significant contributors of the independence of India and often referred to as "Gurudev" is Rabindranath Tagore. He was a creative genius with many achievements and very much modern thinking. His idea of Shantiniketan is something that we strive for today, bringing kids close to nature. His work in poetry and literature is immense.

An event was held over the weekend to honor "Gurudev" on his birth anniversary, May 7th. What else could be a better tribute than kids singing some of his compositions and reading some of his quotes and poems.

I was glad to have my kids participate in this event and have an awareness about this great soul.
