Journey to Himalayas with Father, Devendranath (contd-2)

After staying for one month in Amrtisar, they went to Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh.  The house they had taken at Bakrota was on the highest hill-top.  Though it was nearing May, it was still bitterly cold there, so much so that, on the shaded side of the hill, the winter frost had not yet melted.  Rabindranath's room was at one end of the house from where he could see through the uncurtained windows, the distant snowy peaks shimmering dimly in the starlight.
Rabindranath was allowed to move through the small lane in between two hills and pine-trees. Sometimes his father took him along with him along the hilly roads with Dandy.
In the bangalow of Bakrota, Devendranath regularly gave lessons to Rabindranath in Sanskrit, English, and Astrology.  In the  Astrology book written in English, Devendranath showed Rabindranath the stars and planets in the open sky.
What he learnt from the English text and from his father, he put them in an eassay which was published in Tattwabodhini magazine in short form. Probably this was his first published essay.
