Rabindra let his imagination fly around those stories. At school, Rabindra would always be lost in his thoughts. At home, Aghor Babu, his Bengali tutor taught him English. Rabindra learned the language quickly and began to converse and write in it. He was very bright and dreamt big. He loved nature and liked looking at trees, chirping birds, rising and setting of the sun. He was very sensitive and had the heart of a poet. The atmosphere as well as the people around him affected him greatly. At the age of eight, he wrote his first poem which was greatly appreciated by his family.
