Poems, stories and novels live beyond the life span of the creators when the readers relate to the emotions and incidents expressed in those, transforming the personal experience of the writers to a universal expression of human feelings, happiness and suffering. The original inspirations behind the composition as well as the personal life of the author lose their grips when this happens. Poems in the book 'In Search of Magnificence' belong to this kind of creation. According to Dr. Adyasha Das, a distinguished poet on her own right, "In search of magnificence" is a heady concoction of scientific dilemmas, social sensibilities and the wanderings of the psyche. The poet's life experience of the world has been brilliantly reflected in an apt blend of style and words. Immigrants' world and transitions have been the subject of some of these poems riveting cultural analysis of the Diaspora.

Here are some excerpts from few other distinguished readers of the first edition of these collections of poems.

"Can we comprehend the beauty and the complexities of the universe in the small and in the large by peering through microscopes and telescopes? Can we understand life in its triumphs, tribulations and above all contradictions? In his poetry collection "In Search of Magnificence," Dr. Babru Samal, a poet-scientist, embarks on a quest with the incisiveness of a scientist's mind and the gentle touch of a poet's heart only to open up windows to a unique world that is nothing less than a feast for poetry lovers of the world. In this world, the undefined time finds its definition through the teething of a child to the number of hairs remaining in our receding hair line; male and female fuse into one in the mystique sounds of Krishna's flute; molecules talk to molecules and the cells talk to cells in the seamless emergence of the self. Above all, having emerged, the self celebrates life by "living, loving and losing" only to search again and again to comprehend the essence of life within and without in its grandeur."Mr. Binod B Nayak, author of "The Synergy of Microfinance: Fighting Poverty by Moving beyond Credit," and an economist, previously at the World Bank, Washington DC.

"Dr. Samal is a poet with a difference. His poems are brilliant interplays of words, thoughts, images, symbols, science and culture. From surrealist conflict to tender sensuality, his unpretentious style of writings truly makes this collection a cruise from the mundane to magnificence." Dr. Pratibha Ray, Jnanapitha Awardee, India, 2011

"Babru Samal is a scientist working with the function of genes that prospect into God's most secluded private chamber of creation. He must have peeped into that chamber through a secret pinhole, wittingly or unwittingly that had jolted up the modern day scientist in him to a post modern poet, relevant to the twenty first century. The amazing sensibility behind the vision of this scientist that works like a touch stone capable of turning dross into gold, ordinary to extraordinary and prosaic into poetic is the magic of the creation: 'In Search of magnificence." Dr. Santanu Acharya, a scientist and an established novelist

"The poems in the 'In Search of Magnificence' are deep, broad in scope and very imaginative. The poet has skillfully tapped the realm of the subconscious as if in a meditative state he has reflected a rare shade of creativity. " Dr. Prasanna Pati, distinguished author and a psychiatrist, Salem, Oregon
