Chuti or Chhuti (Bengali: ছুটি ; English: "Holiday"[1] or "The School Closes"[1] or "The Home-Coming"[2]) is a short story written in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore.[3][4] It was written in the month of Poush in 1299 Bangabda. It was first published in 'Sadhana' in 1892. This sad story is included in Tagore's collection of short stories Galpaguchchha.[5]
A boy nurtured by nature named Phatik is displaced and isolated in a civic environment. The unfavorable conditions and unfriendly environment there made him restless. He couldn't fit himself there. Finally, on a rainy day, he came out with a feverish body. Police rescued him with a high fever. When he took the pledge to go home to his uncle, he said he would go home on Puja holiday. He started talking in a daze. When his mother came running and hugged him, he said, "Mother, I'm on vacation now, Mother, I'm going home now." This holiday became a permanent holiday.[5]
