बाइसे-शौक आजमाते हैं कितने मज़बूत अपने नाते हैं
रोज़ कश्ती सवाँरता हूँ मैं कुछ नये छेद हो ही जाते हैं
बाकलमख़ुद बयान था मेरा अब हवाले कहीं से आते हैं
जिनपे था सख़्त ऐतराज़ उन्हे उन्हीं नग़्मों को गुनगुनाते हैं
शम्मये-बज़्म ने रुख़ मोड़ लिया अब ’अमित’ अन्जुमन से जाते हैं
बाइसे-शौक = शौक के लिये,

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
Sunset on the Backwaters
C. Raja Raja Varma, the gifted younger brother of the legendary Raja Ravi Varma, possessed a sublime sensitivity for the landscape of his native Kerala. In this evocative piece from 1897, he captures the transition of the day as the sun descends behind the silhouette of palm trees. The painting radiates a quietude that is deeply spiritual, inviting the viewer to pause beside the still waters of the backwaters. It is a work of gentle observation, reflecting the artist's profound intimacy with the light, atmosphere, and rhythmic life of the land he held so dear.
