Rabindranath Tagore, whose 75th death anniversary was observed on August 7, is among the most celebrated Indian men of letters. Yet, despite the Nobel he won for the translated version of his original work, those of us kept away from the sweet language of Bangla due to our own limitations of space and time can only begin to appreciate the intellectual depth of his poetry and prose. The lyricism in Tagore’s work was informed by his exposure to the best of both Western and Eastern cultures. It was quite natural that they would lend themselves to celluloid trans-creations, more so in the language in which his thoughts found expression. The IMDB credits him with having acted as a creative influence on at least 151 movies — through his music, poetry, novels and short stories. This included Natir Puja (1932) , a recording of Tagore’s stage production which he directed. Among the many film-makers he influenced, one was Satyajit Ray. We can recall here that the Tagores and the Rays enjoyed a symbiotic relationship — both Ray’s grandfather Upendrakishore and his father Sukumar were regular visitors to Jorasanko, the Tagore family’s home. It was quite natural that the master film-maker would seek the bard’s artistic company, in whose Santiniketan he spent a few years learning oriental art, when he took to cinema. Marie Seton, in her biography of Ray, Portrait of a Director , writes that Tagore had appeared to a young Ray, when he visited him at his home, as “remote, like God”. Howev...

“I know not who paints the pictures on memory’s canvas; but whoever he may be, what he is painting are pictures; by which I mean that he is not there with his brush simply to make a faithful copy of all that is happening. He takes in and leaves out according to his taste. He makes many a big thing small and small thing big. He has no compunction in putting into the background that which was to the fore, or bringing to the front that which was behind. In short, he is painting pictures, and not writing history.” These lines are from ‘Jiban Smriti’ (My Reminiscences), Rabindranath Tagore’s autobiography, which he wrote when he was only 50 years old. Tagore, who was also known as ‘Gurudev,’ was born on 7 May 1861 in Jorasanko Thakur Bari, the ancestral home of the Tagore’s, in Kolkata, which was then known as Calcutta and was the capital of British India. As a child, he was left in the care of cooks and maids, except on Sunday mornings when his mother would make him take a bath with the homemade fairness scrubs. Even though he grew up in a large family, alongside his siblings and many cousins, he would spend most of his time alone, which made him a loner and an introvert. However, this gave his mind a fair chance to fly the wings of his imagination. This also led him to notice the minute details of nature which inspired him to turn to poetry. As he recalls his first poem was— “Brishti Pode, Paata node..” (The rain patters, the leaf quivers) His first step at Shanti Niketan In ...
