छोरा है जइयौं हुसियार, गाम में नेता आवैगौ। गाम में नेता आवैगौ, संग में धन्नौ लावैगौ। धन्नौ लावैगौ और पामन पर जावैगौ। पामन पर जावैगौ, बइयरन कूँ फुसलावैगौ। उन्हें साड़ी पहनावैगौ, बड़ेन कूँ कम्बल लावैगौ। और चौधरी साहब कूँ, चुपके से नोट थमावैगौ। कि कर लेउ दरसन पहली बार, फेरि पहचान न पावैगौ। मिलन दूभर है जावैगौ, जो कुछ कहनौ होइ कहि लेउ, फेर नहिं औसर आवैगौ। छोरा है जइयौं हुसियार, गाम में नेता आवैगौ।

The Poet
गोपालप्रसाद व्यास
Gopal Prasad Vyas
1915 · 2005
Gopal Prasad Vyas possessed the rare and difficult gift of using humor to speak profound truths. Born in 1915 near Govardhan in Mathura, his formal education was cut short by his active participation in the Indian independence movement. This early exposure to political struggle shaped his worldview, giving him a deep understanding of human nature and societal contradictions. He became a giant of Hasya Ras, the tradition of humorous and satirical poetry, writing verses that made audiences laugh before forcing them to confront their own hypocrisies. Collections like To Mein Kya Karoon and Ras Rasamrit showcase his ability to dissect social norms with sharp wit and absolute clarity. He was the visionary founder of the Rastriya Kavi Sammelan, an annual gathering at the Red Fort that brought poetry directly to the masses. Honored with the Padma Shri in 1965, Vyas lived until 2005, leaving behind a legacy that proves laughter is one of the most effective instruments of social critique.

Warli Landscape with Tarpa Dance in Centre
This profound work serves as a living tapestry of the Warli tribe, reflecting a harmonious connection between humanity, nature, and the divine. The centerpiece is the Tarpa dance, a rhythmic, spiraling celebration that binds the community together in a circular flow of existence. Within this sacred geometry, the artist captures the essence of rural life, from the toil of cultivation to the quietude of the household. It is a testament to the Warli philosophy, where the simplicity of white pigment on a deep earth red background speaks volumes about the vibrancy of a life lived in tune with the seasons and the ancient rhythms of the earth.
