2.0
Eight short stories, of which half of them take up about eighty percent of the book. It's Tagore, I know, yet, I just found these stories to be okay. 2-stars to six stories. The Hidden Treasure is about the race to search for a treasure between two people. Three others are love stories.
Two very short stories slightly stand out. 3.5 stars to them.
The Trial of the Horse is about the Horse as a creation of Brahma, who while being at the end of the task of creation is struck with this new idea. The story continues with the Horse as a burden of humanity.
Great News has a story within the story, in which there starts a row between the sail and the oars, wherein the sails start calling the oars as the chhoto lok (small people). The moral at the end of the complete story being, that "true news appears small, like the seeds. And then comes the tree with its branches and foliage."
