Rabindranath came to Calcutta on 10th May,1935 after attending his 75th birth day. Bangiya Sahitya Parishad offered him a grand ovation for completing 74 years of age.
He started by boat on the ganges accompanied by Anil  Chanda and Sudhakanta Roychoudhury and cdame to the place of landing the boat. His pen was always constructing poems.He could see the house where he once came accompanying Jyoti-dada. He could remember the interaction with his Bauthan in his youth.
