अपनी - अपनी सलीब ढोता है आदमी कब किसी का होता है
है ख़ुदाई-निजाम दुनियाँ का काटता है वही जो बोता है
जाने वाले सुकून से होंगे क्यों नयन व्यर्थ में भिगोता है
खेल दिलचस्प औ तिलिस्मी है कोई हँसता है कोई रोता है
सब यहीं छोड़ के जाने वाला झूठ पाता है झूठ खोता है
मैं भी तूफाँ का हौसला देखूँ वो डुबो ले अगर डुबोता है
हुआ जबसे मुरीदे-यार ’अमित’ रात जगता है दिन में सोता 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
Landscape with Oxcart
This serene oil painting reflects the exquisite mastery of C. Raja Raja Varma, who worked alongside his celebrated brother Raja Ravi Varma to bring European academic realism into dialogue with Indian traditional subjects. The canvas captures a tranquil rural moment bathed in the golden glow of a sunlit afternoon. A solitary figure carrying a vessel walks towards a placid body of water, mirroring the quiet majesty of distant rolling hills and a solitary ancient tree. The gentle rustle of everyday life is felt through the distant oxcart and grazing cattle, portraying a timeless harmony between humanity, earth, and the divine rhythm of nature.
