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
शब्दार्थ: 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
Domestic Scene with Man Smoking Hookah and Woman Sewing
This intimate portrait captures a quiet, rhythmic moment of domestic life in early twentieth century India. An elderly man, draped in traditional attire, finds a moment of stillness while drawing from his hookah, the curling smoke suggesting a pause in time. Meanwhile, a younger woman sits nearby, entirely focused on her needlework. The painting evokes the simple, profound dignity of rural existence during this era, where the hum of everyday labor and the scent of smoldering coals defined the sanctuary of the home. M. Muranjan masterfully portrays the texture of their quiet companionship, inviting us to witness the peace found in the shared silence of a household.
