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 don't want to notice or try to hide. Ghosh's darker poems touch on the erosion of the human values and point to the greed for power leading to destruction.
In the poet's words: Man's 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 man's 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 Ghosh's 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.
