DISCOVERING LIFE
0₹295.00About the Book
Discovering Life, a Poet Within is a beautiful flow of thoughts, observations and reflections about the mystery of life by a former senior army officer. His urge to unravel this mystery, so close to our hearts, yet so distant, deepened when he ventured to share his thoughts in his first book, Seasons of Life, Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Soldier.
Spurred by wide acceptance and readability of his first book, his quest continued with a renewed vigour and has now found an expression in this book. But this time in a totally new language, the preserve of the literary wizards, the forbidden domain, the artistic domain of poetry. This book is a collection of 100 poems, all on different topics, all about various facets of life, all with a subtle message and all in the first person. The author feels that, this was not done with a design, but has emerged to be so. Perhaps, instinctively.
The book traces the intricate web of emotions and various facets of life like, the sublime feeling of love, misery and pain in life, the dilemma of conflicting thoughts, the nature and its cosmic manifestations, stretch of his poetic imagination to crystal gaze into this world and the world beyond, and finally the memories, what these hold for us in store. Each of these themes has been expressed beautifully in many of his poems. The Author feels that there is a poet residing within each one of us, waiting for an opportune moment or a trigger to surface.
Overall, the frank and free flow of thoughts coming straight from the heart and expressed beautifully strikes a chord. There is so much to pick up from this book.

DIVINITY UNFOLDED
0₹200.00About the Book
Rarely does a reader come across a beautiful collection of poems like this. With topics like Divinity and God, one is not sure what to expect. Each poem is written straight from the heart and so moves the reader deeply. From the unfolding of the cosmic drama to the dynamics of creation; from the all-pervasiveness of God to the quest of the Divine; from God as a great sculptor to life as a pilgrimage — the poems explore the mysteries of life and death and of mortality versus immortality.
It is not easy to write poems on such an elusive topic like Divinity, the invisible and the manifest. Yet, Prof Lal has accomplished this task very successfully. His command of the language and choice of words leaves the reader spellbound. Good literature blunts the dividing line between prose and poetry. Prof Lal’s poems do precisely this and therefore reach out to all readers — whether lovers of fiction, non-fiction or poetry.
