शब्द स्वयं चुनते हैं, अपनी राह बैसाखियों पर टिके शब्द हो जाते हैं धराशायी बैसाखियों के टूटते ही| बहुत पाले और संवारे हुये शब्द भी गल जाते हैं, समय की आंच में जीवित रह जाते हैं वे शब्द जिन्होने छुआ हो जीवन को बहुत समीप से इन्ही में से कुछ हो जाते हैं शब्दकार से स्वतन्त्र और उनसे भी बड़े अतिक्रमण करके काल का यही कालजयी हो जाते हैं अपौरुषेय!

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.

Fragment of Buddhist Mural Depicting the Life of Shakyamuni Buddha
This sacred fragment preserves a profound chapter of devotional art born along the ancient Silk Road, originating from the oasis of Turfan where Buddhist teachings flourished across diverse cultures. The imagery draws the viewer into the sacred narrative of the life of Shakyamuni Buddha, capturing celestial and earthly beings caught in divine devotion. Recently restored with utmost care at the State Hermitage Museum, the mural whispers tales of ancient monasteries, flickering butter lamps, and the enduring spiritual journey of travelers, monks, and artists who poured their souls into rendering the dharma visible.
