It is never about the big things, but the small things that are so breathtakingly beautiful only when one observes them. But in the mad rush called life, we forget. The Fugitive is a compilation of short poems, where Tagore has drawn attention to such small things that one is bound to search for them in the depth of their hearts and relish them once it has been found. It will not be an exaggeration to call this book an investment, because it would do one great amount of good to read it again and again at leisure to feel the flicker of smile that pervades one's soul.
