Shantidev Ghosh in his book – ‘Rabindra-sangeet’ had elaborated – ... On the occasion of Barshamangal a poem ‘Krishnakoli’ from the collection ‘Kshonika’ was converted to a song adding melody to it in kirtan style and few other ragas. The present writer had been instrumental in the experiment and I had to produce the song in public having retained the poetic metering instead of that of a song. The word ‘kaalo’ had been separated from the rest of the song with a simple modulation of a speech. ... Krishnokoli aami taarei boli, kaalo taare bale gnaayer lok.
