==================================

ज़ेबरा क्रॉसिंग पर घड़ी मिलाते हुए
मुझे दिखा समय सफ़ेद पट्टियों की तरह
चोट पर लिपटा हुआ

- ज़ेबरा क्रॉसिंग (जगह, 1994)

“Amongst the new generation of Hindi poets, the poetry of Mohan Rana stands alone; it defies any categorisation. However, its refusal to fit any ideology doesn’t mean that Mohan Rana’s poetry shies away from thinking – but that it knows the difference between thinking in verse and thinking about poetry. For Mohan Rana the poetic process in itself is also thought process.“
