The Quest

By Dr. Anjonn Dasgupta

This book is a spontaneous flow of emotions, passion and quest for the truth in life. Versatile in character, it attempts at soul searching through various avenues of human mind and lead themselves toward the eternal truth- a culmination of 'as many emotions, so many relections'. Its visual imagery transcends the reader to a plane of consciousness where he/she identifies the himself/herself in a similar situation and finds solace and peace within the self.In the words of the author,"Happiness or Peace is a state of the mind. It is a truly achievable option in this Life".
