Knitted by verses indulged with tempo, Mohul Bhowmick's latest offering- They Were My Heroes- is a pre-eminent contribution to the domain of Indian poetry in English. Sporadically merged with manoeuvres that carry the enterprise past the realm of common comprehension, it is laced with both joy and pain. The course of a vigorous dalliance, now ended, rears its head and in mitigation, Bhowmick probes into the anguish that he suffers.

Knitted by verses indulged with tempo, Mohul Bhowmick's latest offering- They Were My Heroes- is a pre-eminent contribution to the domain of Indian poetry in English. Sporadically merged with manoeuvres that carry the enterprise past the realm of common comprehension, it is laced with both joy and pain. The course of a vigorous dalliance, now ended, rears its head and in mitigation, Bhowmick probes into the anguish that he suffers.
Like the majority of his work in poetry, this book too is semi-autobiographical; the obsessions, evasions and fixations that it unveils are a sight to behold. Coming a year after his highly acclaimed debut in travel writing, Bhowmick is back to doing what he does best- asking questions of himself with subtle nudges.
Arriving a long time after it was first conceived, this collection consists of a hundred poems. It is divided into five sections: Travel Capers, In Tribute, Demons, Romantic Leftovers and Residues of the Heart. Each resists its own intricacies with sophistication, touching the reader with every note and chord. In the process, national-level cricketer Bhowmick finds himself facing a wall that no sunrise can erase or obliterate.
In early 2020, at the age of 21, leaving all modes of support behind, Mohul Bhowmick set out on a solo trip to Nepal. Out of this came Seeking Kathmandu, which is an acclaimed piece of travel literature. Resplendent with tales of delight and hardship as well as the magnanimity and generosity of his hosts, this book speaks in agonising detail about the pleasures and pains of solo travel.

In early 2020, at the age of 21, leaving all modes of support behind, Mohul Bhowmick set out on a solo trip to Nepal. Out of this came Seeking Kathmandu, which is an acclaimed piece of travel literature. Resplendent with tales of delight and hardship as well as the magnanimity and generosity of his hosts, this book speaks in agonising detail about the pleasures and pains of solo travel. Painting pictures with his flawless lyrical language and deep metaphysical examinations, Bhowmick takes the reader on an extremely pleasing visual journey of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, from the finesse of Kathmandu to the squalor of Bhaktapur and the grace of Pokhara. This is a travelogue like no other, albeit it being the author's first venture into non-fiction after three successful books of poetry.
With his trademark poise, Mohul Bhowmick's Soaked To The Skin makes abstruse revelations and stoops as low as to catch the reader unawares about its deeper significance. Laying bare the threads that hold human relationships together and what goes on in keeping them cemented, there are also recurring allusions at what happens once they come unglued.

With his trademark poise, Mohul Bhowmick's Soaked To The Skin makes abstruse revelations and stoops as low as to catch the reader unawares about its deeper significance. Laying bare the threads that hold human relationships together and what goes on in keeping them cemented, there are also recurring allusions at what happens once they come unglued.
The 21-year-old's honest and obstinate approach towards the sinister dealings of the human heart and how well it succeeds in keeping itself guarded finds a place in Soaked To The Skin. From the hurt of 'Destroy Something Beautiful', to the tribute of 'Pie And Croissants', to the longing of 'After Love' and the ambition of 'Addressed To The Stars', this book ridicules rigid structures with success.
Bhowmick glides through various personae and panoramas, establishing for himself a particular style of imagery which cannot be matched for its precision. The environment with which he comes into regular contact is brutally examined and an aftertaste of intellectual propensity left behind.
Coming out within months of his debut work This Means War, Mohul Bhowmick's second book An Audience Of One promises the reader of an even stronger dose of reality. Written in his inimitable style with which he depicts the ebbs, flows, hurts, pleasures, joys and pains present in a human relationship along with the battles that are fought within the confines of one's mind, all forty-four poems in An Audience Of One are unique in their o
Coming out within months of his debut work This Means War, Mohul Bhowmick's second book An Audience Of One promises the reader of an even stronger dose of reality. Written in his inimitable style with which he depicts the ebbs, flows, hurts, pleasures, joys and pains present in a human relationship along with the battles that are fought within the confines of one's mind, all forty-four poems in An Audience Of One are unique in their own ways.
Looking straight into the heart of most things, Mohul's careful and circumspect meditations on matters which plague the human continent were well depicted in This Means War. In An Audience Of One, Mohul's free-flowing style marries into obstinacy and produces an offspring almost as tenacious, if not more. There are allusions to John Keats and the Romantic movement of English literature, but this book steers well clear of well-devised norms or patterns.
Along with rhyming compositions, Mohul does justice to free verse and succeeds exceptionally in bringing out the transcendental and unmatched meanings from commonplace events. This book is also autobiographical in parts and it is hard not to miss the references that Mohul makes to his own life and struggles.

This Means War is the debut book of Indian poet Mohul Bhowmick. A collection of poems which deals with a wide range of issues pertaining to human emotions, fragility, hope and despair, this book will take you on a journey of self-discovery and looking at the world through the poet's eyes in a way that you had never thought about. This Means War is a collection of poems in a wide array of selection and areas that hit and tug at the human heart.
From the brilliance of A Place Far From Here to the excluded seclusion of Sometimes I Cry to the understanding wherewithal of A Letter To An Ailing Daughter, Bhowmick seems to have covered most bases in This Means War. It is a book of poetry which was never supposed to be written, as is stated in the subtitle, but its final form has surprised even the most stone-hearted admirer of the arts in India. The book is made up of two segments, titled This Means War and If I Could Tell You and both offer enough to keep the reader hooked for more.
Bhowmick ridicules the preset mindsets and conditions which are hemmed inside most of us and with a nuanced twist of the tongue, enhances his idea of gentle poetry and takes it to another level altogether. This Means War is not for the faint-hearted, especially those who cannot stand the idiosyncrasies of everyday life getting twisted beyond recognition.
