From Nuclear Precision to Poetic Vision

A retired nuclear engineer, Sarkar writes with the precision of a scientist and the anguish of a philosopher. From meditations on war, death, and environmental decay to reflections on love, loss, and the fragile grace of being, his voice oscillates between lament and laudation.

Where Worlds Converge

Drawing on landscapes and experiences gathered across India, Bhutan, and Nepal, Sarkar brings to his writing a keen awareness of the worlds—inner and outer—we inhabit. His poems rise from the narrow spaces where creativity meets consciousness, where science brushes against the ineffable, and where the human heart searches for meaning in the face of annihilation.

Each poem in this collection is both elegy and awakening, reminding us that beauty survives even in despair. Shadows of Broken Things invites readers to confront the questions we often evade: What endures after annihilation? What remains when the light withdraws?
