सबको तुम अच्छा कहते हो, कानो को प्रियकर लगता है अच्छे हो तुम किन्तु तुम्हारी अच्छाई से डर लगता है।
सुन्दर स्निग्ध सुनहरे मुख पर पाटल से अधरों के नीचे वह काला सा बिन्दु काम का जैसे हस्ताक्षर लगता है।
स्थितियाँ परिभाषित करती हैं मानव के सारे गुण-अवगुण मकर राशि का मन्द सूर्य ही वृष में बहुत प्रखर लगता है।
ज्ञानी विज्ञानी महान विद्वज्जन जिसमें कवि अनुरागी वाणी के उस राजमहल में कभी-कभी अवसर लगता है।
विरह-तप्त व्याकुल अन्तर को जब हो प्रियतम-मिलन-प्रतीक्षा, हर कम्पन सन्देश प्रेम का हर पतंग मधुकर लगता है।

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
Tilottama
In the vast and ancient expanse of Hindu mythology, Tilottama stands as a symbol of divine perfection, created by the architect of the gods, Vishvakarma, to bring an end to the destructive pride of the demons Sunda and Upasunda. Raja Ravi Varma, with his masterful command over oil pigments, breathed life into this legend. He captured her not merely as a mythological figure, but as an ethereal presence suspended between the heavens and the earth. Her form, draped in diaphanous golden fabrics that seem to dissolve into the clouds, reflects the transient beauty of the celestial realm. This painting serves as a profound meditation on the power of grace to balance the chaos of the universe, painted by an artist who dedicated his life to marrying the sensibilities of Western realism with the timeless depth of Indian epics.
