Visiting Jorasanka Thakurbari- Rabindranath Tagore's Home

Yesterday, I spent my entire afternoon at Thakurbaari, the place where Rabindranath Tagore was born and took his last breath. It resembles a movie set. Photography inside is not permitted. Standing on the top floor, gazing at the sprawling mansion, I could almost envision hundreds of people bustling through Thakurbaari during its heyday—the kitchen, the linens, the low-sitting dining table. Everything feels like a fairy tale. Not the Cinderella kind, but one where people save each other and themselves—without a prince or a damsel in distress.
