y days I felt happy in the solitary boat. As if the solitary situation caress my face and body."

The subject of Grantha Samalochana of this issue was Nirjharini Kabya written by Mrinalini. Mrinalini was the daughter of Ladlimohan Ghosh. She aged about 13 was married with Raja Indra Chandra Singh of Paikpara who died within 2 years of  marriage. After his death she began to write poems. These poems are collected in a book form , Nirjharini. Rabidranath wrote in this context , " So long as the expression of personal sorrows and joys do not take  the form of universal and eternal
way , it is not able to gather sympathy from others in the context of literature. For this reason experienced persons generally avoid use of personal affairs in literature. The Kabya of Tennyson's  "In Memorium" was liked by all. It has not only expressed the bereavement of his friend , it has expressed in different tunes of the bereavement of any kind of separation of human being. Otherwise it would have been the bashfulness of the expression of personal bereavement. ".
