Soul Searching and Other Poems

If you enjoy poetry then you will enjoy these poems that originate from deep meditation upon the world and people making up this world. These poems reveal deep thoughts and desires but they also point to the bleakness of reality. The poet raises his voice against oppression and terrorism and speaks against war terrorism and violence with the same easiness he finds in revealing the deepest desires of the heart. Contradictions depicts nuances that people usually dont want to notice or try to hide. Ghoshs darker poems touch on the erosion of the human values and point to the greed for power leading to destruction. In the poets words: Mans craving to stand up against all that is negative all that is against human values - to stand up against oppression and injustice had been juxtaposed with mans eternal wish to take refuge in the Eternal the Divine. Side by side poems of great human values there are lighter reads on love bordering on mischievous take on the fair sex. Pranab Ghoshs Soul Searching and Other Poems is a collection of several verses with varied flavor and source. While Ghosh as I found him a loner is engaged in exploring self his other poems are essentially derived from the material world. A must read book especially whoever appreciates philosophy in verses.
