ठहराव (Thahraav)  (Hindi, Paperback, Mohanty Nachiketa)

"Pratyek jeev, vastu, prakrti ki apni ek aatma hoti hai. Manushya ka bhaasha parantu manushya ki hi chintaadhara vyakt karane tak seemit rah jaati hai. Parantu, is sansaar ke santulan hetu pratyek manushya ki apni ek bhoomika hoti hai aur apna ek mahatva hota hai. Ham manushya ek ghor andhakaar mein hai jo ye sochne chale hain ki srishti ki sarvashreshth prani hain hum. Yahi sankeern manobhaav ko nakaarne ki aur ye sansaar ke santulan me prati vastu ki bhoomika ka unmochan karane ka prayaas hai ye kavitaon ka sankalan. Yahaan par kavitaon ke maadhyam se ye darshaaya gaya hai ki pratyek vastu hum manushyon ko kuch na kuch sikhalaate avashya hai. Sabki peeda hoti hai. Aavashyak hai ki ham sanvedanasheel bane. In kavitaon ke maadhyam se yah shiksha milti hai."
