precincts of the residence of Tagore," Amitabh, 75 wrote on his blog.

to the arts and literature are inspiring and legendary now, but as you travel
through those doors and rooms of his place of residence you feel blessed that
such a man walked the face of this earth. How does one acquire such wisdom.

music...How does one acquire his artistry in its sketching, his creation of the
