Talking to Republic TV about his book and the kind of sentiment it shares, Rohankar said, " Fuchi is a Japanese word for 'unawareness' and this collection of poems aims at capturing the heart of our very existence. It brings out the essence of the relation between man and nature. Fuchi for me is a journey that rushes on the tides of uncertainties of life mingled with the gentleness of familiarity. It makes us question the things we already know. And to one's utter surprise, provides a sense of familiarity with the unknown. Some poems make us ruminate on the sentiments of love, existentialism and the purpose of life. It aims at bringing us tête-à-tête to the deeper meaning of love and life," he said.

 
"Fuchi promises to take you on a ride to explore your own feelings that often lie in the subconscious. It is a tale of unending commitment to revel in life's many shades and see it de novo each time. I present to you this book during "the plague of our time: Coronavirus" with an anticipation that it leaves an indelible mark on your minds," he added.
Sharing what encouraged him to take on this endeavour, Rohankar said  all the sales proceedings from this book would be donated to Prime Minister's National Relief fund. This would be my small contribution in helping the country to augment the medical infrastructure in fight against Covid-19.

Being a civil servant Rohankar has handled every crisis one can imagine. From handling the Migrant crisis to managing containment zone, his experiences drove him to take a step and contribute on a personal level.

"I first hand witnessed the unprecedented situation that Delhi faced because of Covid-19. Specially during the lockdown, As Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Delhi Cantt/Incident Commander I was involved in Covid-19 related relief work, I got to see the plight of migrant labourers stuck due to lockdown and the problems faced by poor people. This encouraged and inspired me to donate the profit from my book sales to fight Covid-19," he said.
