Gitanjali

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of emotions of a poet's heart. Gitanjali is the essence of innermost thoughts of Rabindranath Tagore and it is such a delight to flip through the pages, walking barefoot in history and feeling the warm grains of sand slip beneath your feet. A wonderful compilation of the poems that are more of prayers to the divine to ask for awakening of inner strength and peace. Out of the two aspects of the Gitanjali, the first one is the conversation between God and the poet himself, wherein he bares his soul and asks the divine to awaken his countrymen to see how the country id being exploited at the hands of Britishers and rise up to fight for their motherland.
