I think theres more to 7th of May than what we were made to understand by our morning papers today . The world's largest democracy went to polls earlier in the day, and nothing can be more newsworthy...... its got to be the mother of all spectacles. Full marks to our friends perched atop the news towers for dedicating the lion's share of their editorial space to this magnum opus . After all it's the ultimate power tussle and the entire world is watching us ever so closely.
But its rather unfortunate that in this political razzmatazz, we completely forgot that this day also belonged to a revered historical figure. And so did our friends back at the news bureau.Today is the birthday of great Bengali polymath Rabindranath Tagore. A poet, playwright, novelist, social reformer, educationist, visual artist, nationalist, composer.... one name, many shades.
