## Snapshot

A younger classmate whose infectious laughter disrupts the University College library, Loken becomes the devoted audience for Tagore's earliest literary experiments.

## Who they are

Loken Palit is Tagore's class fellow in English literature at University College, four years his junior but never treated as a junior in spirit. Surcharged with high spirits, he turns shared study hours into rippling merriment, yet matches the narrator's literary talk with a keen intellect, especially when the two hunt for the hidden laws of Bengali spelling. After he joins the Indian Civil Service, his bungalow becomes the testing ground where Tagore's youthful prose and poetry find their first unstinting appreciation.
