After Dusk  (Paperback, Manas Mutneja)

The name of the book “After Dusk” is a symbol of finding hope in the darkest of the places. It is the truth that we who always look for light, may just be astonished at what we can find, realize and learn during the dark. Darkness is not a symbol of separation and suffering. For, it is in the dark when we are closest to the ones we love. It is the teacher one never longs for but when one acknowledges the might of it, it is the teacher one never forgets. The poet says "I wish there never comes a day, When ruptured is my body, Broken is my heart, Valued my love, Shattered on the ground, Fallen like ashes, Several feet apart." As we read through the poems, they may seem to you as if they are filled with sorrow and darkness but there is a ray of hope and a possibility of a better tomorrow, whether it be in this world or in another. This is a book which makes us a fortunate believer.
