“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.”

“The true critic and the true reader are inextricably bound. They both recognise that literature is not just about plot or character or rhythm or rhyme. It is about meaning. It is about impact. It is about transformation.”

“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.”

“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!”

“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”
