Anhad: jo kabhi na toot ek saadhaaran kaavy-sangrah nahin, balki bheetar tak spandit karane vaalee saahityik yaatra hai. yah pustak un anakahee kahaaniyon, dabee huee sisakiyon aur us adrshy saahas ko svar detee hai, jo hamaare samaaj kee har doosaree khidakee ke peechhe chupachaap saans leta hai. lekhak ke lie yah rachana keval kavita likhane ka prayaas nahin, balki sanvedanaon ko aakaar dene kee ek eemaanadaar koshish hai. yah krti kisee kalpit katha par aadhaarit nahin hai. yah andhere se ujaale, pinjare se aakaash aur laachaaree se samarthata tak kee yaatra ko darshaatee hai. kavitaon ko ek anokhe kaavy-upanyaas ke roop mein piroya gaya hai, jisakee naayika ka koee ek naam nahin—kyonki vah har ghar, har daphtar aur har khet-khalihaan mein maujood hai. pustak kee dhuree ek shabd ke ird-gird ghoomatee hai—‘shakti’. yah lekhak ka naam nahin, balki us chetana ka prateek hai jo har stree ke bheetar supt avastha mein vidyamaan hai. prashnon, peeda, aakrosh aur antatah samaadhaan se sajee yah rachana samaaj ko aaeena dikhaatee hai. anhad un sabhee paathakon ke lie hai jo vishvaas karate hain ki badalaav sambhav hai—aur usakee shuruaat svayan se hotee hai.
