Rabindranath in Shillong (contd-1)

More reports were available about the the journey of Rabindranath.Mira Devi informed his son Nitindranath staying in England in a letter;
" The daughter of Arunendranath Latika was in Shillong with her brother, Ajitendranath and her  children. Poupee was still small in size in comparison with others of her age. But in intelligence she was not lesser than anyone else. She can only utter the words Dada,Mama, Baba etc. but can understand any word astonishingly.She loves to listen music. She used to sit on the lap of my father, Rabindranath, and hears songs sung by him and moves her hand. The song "Aaju sab amua bole" is very favourite to her. On hearing this song, she begins to move her hand so rapidly that it causes laughter to anyone who looks it. On seeing her movement, my father says that she will learn how to dance."
