Abanindranath once said that writing for children is one of the most strenuous tasks to undertake. The author actualises this through the symbolic functionality of the absurd in a child’s world. Abanindranath’s poetic mastery gets amplified in his attempt to bring Khirer Putul to the credibility of his child reader. When Abanindranath paints poetry in Khirer Putul in undertaking the difficult task of delighting children, he does it with extreme artistry.
