आओ साथी जी लेते हैं विष हो या अमृत हो जीवन सहज भाव से पी लेते हैं
सघन कंटकों भरी डगर है हर प्रवाह के साथ भँवर है आगे हैं संकट अनेक, पर पीछे हटना भी दुष्कर है। विघ्नों के इन काँटों से ही घाव हृदय के सी लेते हैं आओ साथी जी लेते है
नियति हमारा सबकुछ लूटे मन में बसा घरौंदा टूटे जग विरुद्ध हो हमसे लेकिन जो पकड़ा वो हाथ न छूटे कठिन बहुत पर नहीं असम्भव इतनी शपथ अभी लेते हैं आओ साथी जी लेते है
श्वासों के अंतिम प्रवास तक जलती-बुझती हुई आस तक विलय-विसर्जन के क्षण कितने पूर्णतृप्ति-अनबुझी प्यास तक बड़वानल ही यदि यथेष्ट है फिर हम राह वही लेते हैं आओ साथी जी लेते हैं

The Poet
अमिताभ त्रिपाठी 'अमित'
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’
Amitabh Tripathi 'Amit' belongs to a rare class of contemporary Hindi poets who write to hold up an unflinching mirror to society. His verse is stripped of complex academic jargon and strikes directly at the center of modern Indian realities. In works like his celebrated poem "Bas Itna Sa Samachar Hai" (This is All the News There Is), Tripathi captures the everyday ironies, widespread corruption, and moral compromises of the present age with devastating precision. He dismantles hollow idealism and gives a powerful voice to the common man navigating a broken system. To read Amitabh Tripathi is to be awakened from civic slumber. His poems are not merely complaints; they are urgent pleas for a return to collective conscience and integrity.
Paired Painting
Baji Prabhu Deshpande and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
This painting captures a profound moment of sacrifice and undying loyalty in the history of the Maratha Empire. It depicts Baji Prabhu Deshpande, the valiant commander, standing before his sovereign, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The setting is the rugged pass of Ghodkhind, which would later be renamed Pavan Khind, or the Pass of the Sacred, in honor of the blood spilled there. Baji Prabhu pledged to hold back the enemy forces to ensure the safe passage of his king, fighting until his very last breath. His stance reflects a lifetime of devotion, while the king gestures toward the path ahead, heavy with the knowledge of the sacrifice his loyal friend was prepared to make. It remains a poignant symbol of the bond between a leader and a devoted servant, echoing through the hills of Maharashtra as an eternal testament to courage.
