बहुत सहज हो जाते के भी अपने ख़तरे हैं
Bahut Sahaj Ho Jaate Ke Bhi Apne Khatre Hain
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’7 verses · ~1 min
बहुत सहज हो जाने के भी अपने ख़तरे हैं लोग समझने लगते हैं हम गूँगे-बहरे हैं
होरी को क्या पता नहीं, उसकी बदहाली से काले ग्रेनाइट पर कितने हर्फ़ सुनहरे हैं
धड़क नहीं पाता मेरा दिल तेरी धड़कन पर मंदिर-मस्ज़िद-गुरुद्वारों के इतने पहरे हैं
पढ़-लिख कर मंत्री हो पाये, बिना पढ़े राजा जाने कब से राजनीति के यही ककहरे हैं
निष्ठा को हर रोज़ परीक्षा देनी होती है अविश्वास के घाव दिलों में इतने गहरे हैं
मैं रोया तो नहीं नम हुई हैं फिर भी आंखें और किसी के आँसू इन पलकों पर ठहरे हैं
बौनो की आबादी में है कद पर पाबन्दी उड़ने लायक सभी परिन्दो के पर कतरे 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
Sairandhri
In this emotionally charged masterpiece, Raja Ravi Varma brings to life a heart-wrenching episode from the Mahabharata, during the Pandavas' concealed exile in the kingdom of Virata. Draupadi, disguised as the royal maidservant Sairandhri, descends the palace steps with a heavy heart, weeping softly into her garment while bearing an offering. Her quiet grief is witnessed by Kichaka, the powerful commander-in-chief whose unwanted advances will soon threaten her honor and set the stage for righteous retribution. Varma brilliantly marries European academic realism with classical Indian storytelling, endowing the figures with tangible breath, palpable sorrow, and deep psychological resonance.
