He wrote on heroic themes in the medieval Bengali siidhubhiisii, or pure speech, as well as or better than the greatest of the medieval poets had done. But under the influence of the rivers and rhythms, the seasons and sounds of rural Bengal, he set aside this heroic, classical tradition and began to focus his literary attention, as well as his administrative talent, on the simple scenes and events and people around him. For the first time in the history of Bengali literature, the common man and woman with their everyday trials and tribulations became the subject of poems and short stories, written in a simple, unpretentious style.

Tagore 'discovered' or 'invented' a new metre which reckoned the rhythm on the basis of consonants, not vowels. This metre was later called miitriibritta metre. 19 Tagore's first book of poems in miitriibritta metre was Miinasi (Imaginary Woman), published in 1890. Once a tiny crack gave way within the wall of the traditional patterns, it was a small matter to make the whole edifice crumble. Tagore turned to his collection of folk ballads and nursery rhymes (assisted in this collection process by his nieces and nephews, as mentioned earlier) and began to use those rhythms for the first time in serious poetry.
