प्रेम कितना मोहक, सम्मोहक और मादक होता है.. उसके विभिन्न पड़ावों से गुजरते हुए मैंने यह जाना है। 'मन पतंग दिल डोर' को लिखते हुए मैंने महसूस किया है कि मोहब्बत का कोई मौसम नहीं होता। वो जब हो जाए वही उसका मौसम हो जाता है। यौवन जब आता है तो अनेक मधुर एहसास लिए आता है.. उन एहसासों को शब्द मैंने नहीं दिए हैं बल्कि उन्होंने खुद अपने लिए शब्द चुने हैं।
