Author Ranjit K Das announces release of two books

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 11, 2008 -- How important is communication for a meaningful human existence? What role does personal experience play in spiritual enrichment?

‘The Best Poems & Poets of 2007’ international award-winning author R. K. Das answers these questions and more in “Songs of a Stringed Soul”- a collection of 90 poems and “Treasured Slices from Life and Living”- a compilation of 101 inspirational writings.

“Songs of a Stringed Soul (ISBN 978-81-8465-018-1)” (88 p, Rs.165) is divided into two separate sections - Children and General. “It is said that art communicates before it is understood. Among the five kinds of literature viz. short story, drama, novel, poetry and essay, only poetry truly qualifies the statement and therefore it is considered to be the Queen of all art literature,” says RK Das. The poems featured in the children’s section have been recommended by academic authorities and others like ‘Light of darkness’, ‘The arrival of youth’, ‘Life is fascinating’ and ‘A worthy repentance’ have won the Editor’s Choice Award from Poetry.com. According to Howard Ely, Managing Editor of Poetry.com, each of these poems “displays an original perspective and unique creativity — judged to be the qualities found most in exceptional poetry.”

“Treasured Slices from Life and Living (ISBN 978-81-8465-017-4)” (428 p, Rs.399) is an introspective journey through the soul-nourishing experiences of the author. The book is a compilation of reflective pieces on wide ranging themes - music, religion, urbanism and spiritual development. “Although intense experiences come more or less in everyone’s life, depending on the talents endowed by the Creator, each one adopts a unique way to express oneself,” philosophizes Das. Through these stories, the author intends to highlight the divinity behind every aspect of life. “In essence, Das succeeds in showing us that everything in life has a spiritual design behind it. Insightful reading,” says Sandeepan Chatterjee who works with Microsoft India.

RK Das has nearly three decades of experience in working with an Apex Level Public Financial Institution. In between, he had also a five-year stint as faculty member at a National Level Training Institute specializing on Behavioral Science and Micro Credit. Along with seven authored books to his credit, over 80 of his articles/ compositions have appeared in various leading national dailies, journals, magazines, souvenirs, etc. The recently released books are published and distributed through on-demand publisher Pothi.com. “We are extremely proud to have talented Indian authors like RK Das.
