Amita Sen, in her book ‘Shantiniketane Aashramkonya’, has quted her mother, Kiranbala Sen, wife of Khsitimohan Sen, saying –
… Sometimes Gurudev used to tender home-made sweets on a plate and present them to my children. He had composed a song ‘Ei To Bhaalo Legechhilo …’ while staying in the new apartment. He had said while singing this song –
Your Amita has been sitting in front of my apartment collecting pebbles in a can and then pouring them on her head. This picture has been reflected in my lyric ‘Chhoto meye dhulay bose khelar saaji aapni saajay’.
My daughter Amita was then two and half years old. …
Later on whenever elderly Amita was felicitated at Shantiniketan this song was sung. Even when the news came that Amartya Sen, her son, has achieved the Nobel Prize, this song was sung for his felicitation at Aamrokunjo.

Ei to bhaalo legechhilo aalor naachon paatay paatay. Shaaler bone khyapa haawa, ei to aamar monke maatay. Raanga maatir raasta beye haater pothik chale dheye, Chhoto meye dhulay bose khelar daali ekla saajay - Saamne cheye ei ja dekhi chokhe aamar beena baajay. Aamar e je bnaasher bnaashi, maather sure aamar saadhon. Aamar monke bnedhechhe re ei dharoneer maatir bnaadhon. Neel aakasher aalor dhaara paan korechhe nutan jaara Sei chheleder chokher chaawa niyechhi mor du chok pure - Aamar beenay sur bnedhechhi oder kochi golar sure. Dure jaabar kheyal hole sabai more ghire thaamay - Gnaayer aakash sojne phuler haatchhani daake aamay. Phurai ni, bhaai, kaachher sudha, naai je re taai durer khudha - Ei-je e sab chhotokhato paai ni eder kulkinara. Tuchcho diner gaaner paala aajo aamar hoy ni saara. Laaglo bhaalo, mon bholalo, ei kathatai geye berai - Dine raate samoy kotha, kaajer katha taai to eraai. Mojhechhe mon, mojlo aankhi - mitheye aamay daakadaaki - Oder aachhe anek aasha, ora koruk anek jaro - Aami kebal geye berai, chaai ne hote aaro baro.
