Sometimes Rabindranath went to see his zamindari, sometimes he had to come to Calcutta. he found it difficult to make time for his creative work. Ultimately he went to Shantiniketan, Bolpur, and stayed there on the first floor of the two storied building constructed by his father. In this solitary place, he began to think about himself and made a short analysis about himself which he wrote in a letter.
