Good for a Lifetime

Mohan Rana is one of the important poet writing in Hindi. He has published six collections of poems in Hindi. ‘Jagah’ (1994), Jaise janam koi darwaja’ (1997), ‘subah ki dak’ (2002), ‘is chhod par’ (2003), ‘patthar ho jayegi nadi’ (2007), ‘Dhup andhere mein’ (2008). ‘With Eyes Closed’ (2008) is poems in English Translation. According to the poet and critic Nandkishore Acharya, “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.” ‘Ajanabi banta pehchan’ is one of the important poem and it is translated by Lucy Rosenstein.
