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.
