“Poetry, today, is struggling for its space. Poets are writing poems. Readers are not reading poems. Other poets are reading other poets’ poems. They seldom like or appreciate what others write. Poetry, therefore, has turned itself into an unresolving cycle of paradox!”

“The modern reader must ask: what do I want from literature? Do I merely seek comfort, entertainment, prestige, or am I in search of something nobler—wisdom, empathy, truth? The way we read ultimately shapes who we are. And who we are determines what kind of world we wish to build.”

“Poetry, if it has too many layers, should at least lead readers to the openings of the caves the poet built with words and then let them explore on their own! If it does not happen, the travellers might return even without knocking at all!”

“Meaningful literary criticism is like penance to please Bhagwan Shiva and ask for wisdom for the world instead of material things for oneself when God appears! Such is the spiritual gravity of deep, reflective engagement with literature.”

“It is not the quantity of reading but the quality of engagement that defines literary worth.”
