It was a eye opener as it was my first time learning about India Artists especially poets. I learn about many other popular nobel literature prize winners( William B Yeats etc) and how they helped Mr Tagore with winning the prestigious literature nobel peace prize. It was great to be able to appreciate and enjoy Bengali music with the tabla, the keyboard and the voice. I really love the Bengali music and believe Tagore is a impressive literary giant where his poems are so insightful and philosophical. It is yet so realistic and speak of a naked man in all honesty.
