After all, what is there in this transient life except soaring high up in the sky. And ofcourse there is music, melody, love, Bengali language and Rabindranath, Tuku would say.
Once Mohan Singh was sitting with Tuku on the banks of the canal on a moonlit night. Suddenly they noticed two men emerging from the Sal forest of Sonajhuri.
