In the novel 'My Poems Are Not For Your Ad Campaign', author Anuradha Sarma Pujari examines the tensions of a rapidly evolving Indian economy. The narrative centers on Bhashwati, a disillusioned employee at an advertising agency who feels alienated by the era's consumerism and the objectification of women. Her perspective shifts after discovering a poem left behind by Mohua Roy, a former colleague who vanished under mysterious circumstances. Bhashwati’s quest to uncover Mohua’s identity leads her through the streets of Calcutta. Along the way, she encounters individuals who have made significant personal sacrifices to uphold principles that seem to be fading in the face of contemporary development. The story serves as a reflection on the human cost of societal change and the search for meaning in a commercialized world.
