Rabindranath Going to England in May 1920.

Before going to England  Rabindranath went to Santiniketan on 9th May, 1920 with  son Rathinddranath, daughter-in-law Pratima, Daughter Mira Devi and Andrews . He lived there for two days, and came to Calcutta on 11th May with his son and daughter-in-law.and satrted for Bombay on 12th May. This time he was accompanied by Manjushree, daughter of Surendranath, and maid-servant Sadhu Charan. According to the diary of Rathindranath they reached Bombay on 13th May,1920. He wrote;
" Had been putting up  with Bomanji at his house in Cuffe Parade, Colaba since coming to Bombay on the 13th. His house is in a delightful situation. It was such a change from the stifling heat of Calcutta to sit out on the verandah here with cool sea breeze flowing all the time. We kept very qute  - there were hardly any visitors except Sir J petit and Sir Stanley Reed of the Times of India . Father was very pleased to meet the latter - as he has so bravely stood out against the whole of Anglo-India with regard to the Amritsar massacre."
This diary was printed in "Rabindrabiksha" from the 30 to 37 titled "Diary" edited by Supriyaa Roy
The decision to go to England this time was not pre-planned.he was thinking for some time to go out for his physical and mental rest. He planned for  going  to America or Australia but the situation there was not favourable for Indians to go at that time. During rtaying at the house of Bomanji at Bombay he decided to go to England.
He wrote  to Andrews on 14th May; " I  feel that we are not likely to be long in Europe. I am not in a mood to face the world and answer its question.s."
Moreover,  he was thinking for his daughter and her kids and their upbringing and his son-in-law's   permanent occupation.
There is difference of opinion in which ship Rabindranath started for Englnad in Merca or in S.S.Morea.
