Rabindranath at 19

Rabindranath returned to Kolkata from London without any degrees with Satyendranath in Feb 1880.He participated in Manmayee Geetimalya written by Jyotirindranath and wrote a song "Ay tabe sahachari".
Rabindranath said that, "this time spring of  song was flowing through my hand. Jyotydada was playing Piano and I had to put words in accordance with the tune." While staying in London Rabindranath learnt some English tunes some of which are sweet, some tragic, some simple . Still it
does not follow the melody of Ireland tunes. He sang some songs with foreign tunes. Every one said that the tunes were changed and also the voice of Rabindranath. Actually Rabindranath wsas passing through 17 to 19 the age of change of voice of a person. Rabindranath wrote another two songs,
1. CHILE KOTHAY BALO
2. CHALO CHALO, CHALO CHALO, CHALO, FOOLADHANU for Manmyee.
From Baishakh 1286, " Europe - Yatri Kono Bangiya Yubaker Patra" was published in Bharati and subsequently continued for ten issues.
1. Bhanu Singher Kabita
On 25th Baishakh, 1287 (8 May 1880) Rabindranath completed 19 years of age. Rabindranath explained his mentality of stepping into his youth. "I returned back to Bangladesh when I stepped into my youth. (I saw) that roof, that moon, that southern wind, that dream in my solitary mind, that thousands bondage engulfed slowly and gradually work less imagination, creation of beautiful mirage in my mind, unfulfilled happiness, deep pain in inner mind, self torture by idle poetry - I was lying down silently with all these bindings."
In reality, he was feeling some pain for coming to India from London without getting any degree.
He tried 2nd time to go to London but it was in vain.
In the mean time SwarnaKumari Debi published a book containing poetries of Rabindranath such as Sashru Sampraday, Sadher Bhasan, Khrga Parinay, Abhagini.This was the best gift offered to him by Swarnakumari Debi.
