"About Dreams" by Manoranjan Ghoshal is a profound and expansive collection of poetic prose and verse that serves as a journey through the landscapes of the human soul. First published in 2025, the work is a meditation on memory, lost love, and the relentless passage of time.
The author uses rich, evocative imagery of nature-from the moon's "crooked eyes" and the "sad cry of the jackals" to the coming of spring and the "new dawn"-to create a canvas for deep introspection. The themes range from tender, unspoken love and vanished youthful dreams to the challenging realities of life, emphasizing the need to "fight to snatch away" what is needed and move forward despite failure.
The collection confronts despair and the chaos of the world but consistently returns to a message of enduring hope for a brighter future, urging the reader to "light the lamp of peace" and embrace the change that is the "law of nature". It is a timeless, heartfelt exploration of existence, encouraging perseverance even on a difficult, curved path.
