# Two Fine Humans

Rating: 5.0


Two fine humans..i know them
from my teens
when i watched 'Gandhi' the movie
i loved this human 'gandhi'
when i read 'gitanjali' the book
i saw in tagore the human

There was not a mention about 'tagore'
in the movie gandhi
Their relationship never made history
I learned humanity in their relationship
they would have met six or seven times in life
their relationship flourished in their differences

They were actually a world apart in their opinions
they shared these differences in their letters
which i would call a treasure, , and right from
non co operation to the abolishing of foreign wear
chakra culture to asking students to refrain from school
tagore had a different opinion to give.

The respect they had for each other- adorable
the love they had for each other -beautiful
the difference of opinion between them-explorable
the differences were expressed in public -tolerable
they were indeed two matured human beings- who were able
to show their differences in public with dignity

More than the poet in tagore
it was his humanity i admire
more than the leadership of gandhi
it was his humanity which touched me
the relationship they had was truly human
their differences should be explored by every human

Very true especially the politicians of today, the way they tear at each other in public but still work together hidden from public view for personal agendas. The intolerance among us the common the public too, we should try and emulate these wonderful lesser known traits in the life of great and noble men in history. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and showing a side maybe unknown still to few of us. Angel

I admire Gandhi very much! This poem is a tribute to him, as for Tagore I don´t know much. I´ve read 3 of Gandhi´s biographies and I´ve watched the movie twice... Very good poem.
