घर की दुनिया माँ होती है खुशियों की क्रीम परसने को दुःखों का दही बिलोती है
पूरे अनुभव एक तरफ हैं मइया के अनुभव के आगे जब भी उसके पास गए हम लगा अँधेरे में हम जागे
अपने मन की परती भू पर शबनम आशा की बोती है घर की दुनिया माँ होती है
उसके हाथ का रूखा-सूखा- भी हो जाता है काजू-सा कम शब्दों में खुल जाती वह ज्यों संस्कृति की हो मंजूषा
हाथ पिता का खाली हो तो छिपी पोटली का मोती है घर की दुनिया माँ होती है

The Poet
अवनीश सिंह चौहान
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan
1972 · 2010
Avaneesh Singh Chauhan represents a fresh and necessary voice in contemporary Hindi literature, particularly in his efforts to revitalize traditional lyrical forms for a modern audience. Born in 1979 in the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, he has dedicated his literary career to the Navgeet movement and the adaptation of Haiku into the Hindi language. He does not write from the isolation of an ivory tower. Instead, his poetry addresses the environmental decay, social fragmentation, and rural displacement that define twenty-first-century India. Chauhan serves as the executive editor of the literary journal Naye Purane, where he actively fosters dialogue between established literary figures and emerging writers. Through his poetry and critical essays, he proves that ancient poetic rhythms can perfectly articulate the anxieties of the modern world. He is a careful observer of everyday life, using short verse and melodic compositions to document the quiet realities that often escape mainstream attention.
Paired Painting
The Milkmaid
Raja Ravi Varma was a pioneer in bridging Indian sensibility with Western academic realism. In this masterpiece, he turns his gaze from royal courts and grand mythological epics to the poetic simplicity of everyday Indian life. The painting captures a fleeting, intimate moment of a young woman pausing during her daily chores. Her expression is not one of mere labor, but of a quiet, soulful dignity that elevates her to an icon of grace. The warm light caresses her features, illuminating the soft texture of her sari and the subtle, metallic luster of the vessel she cradles. Through his masterful brushwork, Ravi Varma invites the viewer to appreciate the sacredness inherent in ordinary existence, making this portrait a timeless homage to the quiet strength of Indian women.
