Sarojchandra Majumdar (Bhola), son of one of Rabindranath’s friends Shri Shachandra Majumdar, was a student of Shantiniketan. He had a massive cardiac arrest while he was in the Ashram and succumbed to death. He was then aged sixteen only and due to appear the Matriculation. He was a close friend of Shomindranath, Rabindranath’s youngest son. Shomi had been to his hometown, Mungher, for a pleasure trip and there he had succumbed to cholera three years ago. Reaction to this death has been described by Sudhirchandra Das, one of Saroj’s allies, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in India later on in his book ‘Aamader Shantiniketan’. –
… We, a couple of students due to appear the Matriculation, used to stay at the new room beside the library, which has now known as the office of Paathabhavan. One day after dinner Suhrid, I and a few friends were strolling on the playground. The moon had shone brilliantly across the sky. … Suddenly we noticed some brisk movements with lanterns in front of our room. … We rushed back to find Bhola lying on his bed, completely unconscious. Gurudev, sitting on a low stool in front of him, staring at his face. A few bottles of Biochemic drugs placed on a teapoy. After some time, Haricharan, the Doctor arrived from Bolpur, examined his chest, back and tried to find his pulse. Sighed and slowly shook his head. It was enough to mean that we had lost our friend. The expression of sadness and pity on Gurudevs face, gripped by the situation, is unforgettable for us. We did not know what had happened to Bhola. The twist of fate was particularly reeling that Shomi left from Mungher, Bhola’s home and Bhola from Gurudev’s Ashram. The close friendship between the two was perhaps the reason for such reeling thought. The sun shone brightly when we returned after cremating his body. …
This song was written on the day of this death.

Aaj baroshar rup heri maanober maajhe - Cholechhe garoji, cholechhe nibiro saaje. Hridaye taahar naachiya utthichhey bhima, Dhaaite dhaaite lop kore chale seema, Kon taaronay megher sohit meghe Bokkhe bokkhe miliya bajro baaje. Punje punje dure sudurer paane Dale dale chale, keno chale naahi jaane. Jaane naa kichhui kon mahaadritale Gobhir shraabone goliya poribe jale, Naahi jaane taar ghanoghor samaarohe Kon se bhishon jibon maron raaje.
