              Rabindranath Tagore life history
Born in an affluent Bengali family, Rabindranath Tagore is best known for his contribution to the field of Bengali literature and politics. His poems, shorts stories, songs (referred as Rabindra sangeet), plays, and novels are still revered and analysed in different fields of art. He was the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize (1913) for his contribution to world literature.

Tagore penned down “Jana Gana Mana”, the national anthem of India. He also wrote the national anthem for Bangladesh. His other notable works include, Gitanjali, Post Master, Kabuliwallah, Nastanirh, to name a few. His songs like, Majhe Majhe Tobo, Akash Bhara, Amar Hiyar Majhe, Purano Sei Diner Kotha, and Megher Kole, among others are still rendered by notable singers across Bengal and India.
Acclaimed filmmaker and Academy Award Winner Satyajit Ray made a few notable movies based on Tagore’s short stories and novels. Tagore also founded the renowned Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, West Bengal. Rabindranath Tagore never believed in classroom teaching. So, he introduced the idea of classes being held amidst nature, a practice still followed by the University and its students.
During the later stages of his life he was critical of the British rule and renounced “Knighthood” in protest of the Jalianwalla Bagh massacre.

                      Rabindranath Tagore poem

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

WHO COVID -19 By Himanshi  Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.  Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).
