  When asked for what he is solving for, he replied

मुझे खामोशी पसंद हैं. मगर मैं चूप नहीं बैठ सकता. इसलिये लिखता रहता हूं. मगर मैं जानता हूं मैं दुनिया बदल नहीं सकता. मैं अपनी दुनिया बदलने की कोशिश करता रहता हूं. सोच के पंख होते हैं. मगर कोई पेड तो चाहिये, साया तो चाहिये. मैं किसी सोच का बीज लगाने नहीं आया हूं. पेडों के बिजोंमें विश्वास रखता हूं. कल मेरी कविता नहीं रहेगी शायद. मगर मेरे लगाये पेड जरूर होंगे. कल कोई पुछेगा मैने क्या किया हैं?  तो उन पेडोंको देख लेना. पन्नों में घुटकर मरनेवाले सपने बहुत हैं. मगर बादल में भिग जाने की जिद हैं. मिट्टी में उग आने की जिद हैं.
