In Homecoming by Rabindranath Tagore, a restless village boy named Phatik moves to Calcutta with his uncle for better schooling. However, he feels isolated in the city, facing strict discipline and cold treatment from his aunt. Longing to return home, Phatik's health declines, and tragically, he dies before reuniting with his family, expressing his deep desire for home in his final moments. The story poignantly explores themes of belonging, homesickness, and the loss of innocence.
