Book Description
The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.
