ছেলেবেলা | Chhelebela | My Boyhood Days

My Boyhood Days (Chhelebela, 1940) is Tagore′s second memoir of his childhood days, written when he was nearing eighty. He describes, without a trace of self-pity, the spartan life he had to lead under his father′s instruction. The sense of wonder and delight in the seemingly commonplace experiences of boyhood helped him become a great poet.
