Rabindranath Tagore was a great writer. He is more famouse as a poet, playwrighter, essay writer, and stories (eight novels, four novellas and numerous short stories). 'Naivedya' (1901) and 'Kheya' (1906) - culminating with 'Gitanjali: Song Offerings' in 1912 that helped him win the Nobel Prize a year later. Talking about the charm of 'Gitanjali', W.B.
