Tagore dons many feathers in cap as a writer and that he is not just intense writer who takes to all surreal concepts. Rather in the above book which is a compilation of many short stories, there are so many things the writer is talking about but in the most simple and conversational manner. Even though, upon deeper analysis one can find a kind of contrast that he trying to draw. This could be about how his countrymen are putting up the exhausting and selfish practices of the British Raj on one hand and the obsolete way of life of their own society. The stories, even though have been written in the more engaging manner, but somehow there is a major miss when it comes to revealing the climax and that the reader then is left with his stimulated imagination to figure out what would have happened. But then this is probably what the writer intends to do.Â
