The date for visit to China from Calcutta was settled on 21st March 1924. On 15th March Rabindranath wrote to Ranu, "He couldn't leave Ashram for writing lecture note for China". He started writing his note when he was in Banaras at Ranu's place. But he could not write more than 4/5 pages due to the disturbance created by Ranu. He could not proceed more here because, " there is a similar element like Ranu in his mind - that is my passion of poems and songs. When I was going to write lecture for China , she forcibly opens the door and calls me , "Hi, poet.", I answered, "wait a bit, I am busy now." She asked, "Poet, open the door once. I shall leave the room seeing you once. I open the door - she came and at once occupy my mind and began humming. She keeps her word. When I finish writing a poem, she leaves the place.But so what, the hummimg sound in my brain does not stop leaving no scope of writing lecture notes."
Rabindranath informed at the end of this letter; " Miss Green, is going to her country now.She will go to China along with us. Then she will go to America.Her farewell programme was arranged to day.In the veranda and in front of the Library, floor was painted with white zinc,decorated with flowers. She was greeted by blowing the conch and offered a costly peacock coloured Cloth and a little bit of amusement was done. The girls sung the song "bhara thak, bhara thak"
Grechen Green wrote in her autobiography about the incident; " In front of the white columns of the library, an Eastern audience hall was set for the ceremony of Baroni (acceptance), performed for me because I am accepted in India. I stood before the poet in the centre of a circle, seven women in scarlet saris circling round me to purfy with water and fire. They bore offerings on a petah (gift dish0 of rice-grains and fruit, a red marriage sari and a wedding bracelet of carved iron. The poet spoke words of welcmoe and gave me a crystal amulet, the girls sang songs of evening and the full moon looked on."
