Atithi

Took some time to listen to the entire sequence. I have never experienced rural Bengal. My parents are both from urban Kolkata, and so that's where I visit every time I go to India. However, I've taken trips to Shantiniketan and Murshidabad and have gotten a taste of what Tagore has written about in the pastoral, holistic, green rural Bengal. This musical sequence from Tapan Sinha's Atithi brings up Tagore's beautifully written images in my mind.
