Rabindranath Tagore 7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941 was a British Indian polymath who worked as a poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter of the Bengal Renaissance. He reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 

He was the author of the "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful" poetry of Gitanjali. In 1913, Tagore became the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize in any category, and also the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. 

Tagore's poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; where his elegant prose and magical poetry were widely popular in the Indian subcontinent. He was a fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society. Referred to as "the Bard of Bengal", Tagore was known by the sobriquets Gurudeb, Kobiguru, and Biswokobi.

As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in his founding of Visva-Bharati University.

Veins of Blue

Poem and Sketch

by

Ausmita Roy

Stitched by invisible hands 

Threaded together 

by people with no face. 

Whispers coiled in the corner 

like sleeping lizards. 

There was no light— 

neither day nor night, 

just canvas waiting 

for something to move. 

Time doesn’t ask, it takes. 

Time didn’t arrive—exploded, molten. 

One day I broke 

like glass no one heard. 

Gnawing at my roots, 

shards of mirror in a desert 

of memories, 

I oozed into the sky. 

My veins hum electric blue, 

like rivers ready to run. 

I flew—broken, but flying. 

I exist, yet I do not. 

The ash that remembers fire— 

these wings, splintered, 

are mine to shape, mine to fight.
