The book was released on January 22 at the 49th International Kolkata Book Fair.In the introduction, Banerjee dedicates the book to "those who have lost their lives in this ruinous game", alleging that a "relentless campaign of fear" has been unleashed on the people of Bengal.She writes that the poems emerge from a "spirit of resistance.""How long do we stay silent still? Silence does not mean peace-it means lives are falling, dripping away to nothing," reads the poem titled 'Doom'."We want answers. And answers will be given in people's court," it adds.Another poem titled 'Morgue' alleges that "democracy is being beaten, scrubbed raw," and claims that protest itself has fallen into the grip of "agency-raj."During an informal interaction with journalists on the sidelines of a press conference here, the West Bengal chief minister claimed that she wrote the book in three days while travelling.With 163 published books to her credit, Banerjee said she does not draw a pension as a former MP and has also forgone her salary as chief minister.
