“Oh no!
It was one of those days again!
The days that Robi dreaded
To think about.
The days that Robi found
difficult to get through.
The days that Robi
wished never came.
But they did.
Every once in a while.”

“Inspiration likes to be fed all the time.
Inspiration likes seeing things in a different light.
Inspiration has a thing for places cool and calm.
Inspiration likes fresh air.”

Rabindranath Tagore or Robi as he was affectionately addressed by his parents was aghast when he couldn't find inspiration for his next poem. He looked for it in the lap of nature, among the birds in the rooftop, in the bustling stream, but alas it eluded him. He also rigorously searched for it in the library amidst heaps of books.
Nature influenced Tagore's poems, songs and later paintings. The illustrations done in watercolor medium was beautiful to behold. The writing is lyrical and flowed like poetry.
