Rabindranath at 35, Youngest son Shamindranah was born

The song ,"Paadapraante raakha Sebake" was constructed by Rabindranath for Magha Utsab. There were two marriages in Tagore family-- of Balendranath and of Nalini, daughter of Dwipendranath. Rabindranath dedicated a small book, titled River, to Balendranath on the occasion of his marriage and wrote a poem for Chitra," Mor Ange ange jeno aaji basanta uday", a poem,  Jiban Debata and the last poetry of Chitra, Sindhu Pare.
The most important incident was the birth of the youngest son of Rabindranath , Shamindranath.
12th session of Congress was held at Beadon Square under the presidentship of  Rahimutulla Md Siani. Rabindranath sung Bandemaataram set to his own tune. The guests of the conference were invited  at Jorasanko where Rabidranath sung Ayi Bhubanamana Mohini.
He wrote a drama, "Baikunther Khata" at the request one of his friends.and within one month of its publication he wrote "Panchabhuter Diary". There is no such essay in Bengali even at present. Only it reminds us the book of the writer Wendell Holmes of America who wrote in his essay,  namely, 'Poet at the breakfast table book.'
