A Rose by Any Other Name . . .: a Collection of Thoughts in Verse. Arunav Barua

This collection of poems is a myriad expression of the evolution of human thought. From a temple waiting through time for 'Moksh' to a love affair between a sailor and a Lighthouse in 'The Sailor and the Lighthouse' In an 'Ode to a kitchen sword' the karma of a sword (weapons of destruction and war) is questioned and is finally asked to feed a hungry man, bound in a kitchen. A fitting Karmic tool for justice. 'Tale' talks about the inherent need in all of us for a concept, call it unconditional love, or a name you choose and our journey towards it. This whole collection of around seventy poems is basically the expressions of the heart, including its capacity for love and its angst at pain. It is for all readers who take great pleasure in exploring the dimensions of thought! It is a collection for believers in that one slippery concept we all know as 'Unconditional Love'
