Today I'll share my visit to a great place of Bangladesh. It’s Shilaidaha Rabindra Kuthibari, Kumarkhali,Kushtia, Bangladesh. It is a two storey house where lived the greatest Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. He is a noble laureate in literature, first among the asians who got that honourable prize in literature. He spent quite a time here. Actually he is from A Kolkata based Landlord family. He lived here to look after their lands.
