एक भूल ऐसी जो मेरे जीवन का शृंगार हो गयी। भव-जलनिधि में भटकी नौका एक लहर से पार हो गयी

संचित पुण्य युगों का जैसे स्वयं मुझे फल देने आया आतप दग्ध पथिक पर जैसे कोई बदली कर दे छाया मेरे मानस की रचना ज्यों मूर्तिमान साकार हो गयी एक भूल ऐसी...

विधना के विधान अनजाने, उसका लिखा कौन पहचाने कब अदृष्य बन्धन में कैसे, पूर्ण-अपरिचित बँधे अजाने अपनी अनुकृति अन्य हृदय में अपना ही विस्तार हो गयी एक भूल ऐसी...

कभी स्वप्नवत लगी जुन्हाई, कभी चन्द्र की जल-परछाईं देख रहा हूँ विस्मय से ज्यों भिक्षुक ने पारस-मणि पाई पावस ऋतु की तृषित सीप पर स्वाती की बौंछार हो गयी एक भूल ऐसी...

The scene evokes a weary traveler finding sudden shade under a cloud or a thirsty oyster receiving the auspicious Swati rain, visually centering on a solitary boat drifting across an expansive, mystical ocean toward an unforeseen shore. Symbolically, the narrative unfolds as a miraculous encounter where the stranger’s presence acts like a philosopher’s stone, turning the dross of a misunderstood past into the gold of a realized, soulful connection. The artistic tone is one of blissful bewilderment, reflecting the awe of a beggar who suddenly finds himself in possession of a divine treasure that seamlessly mirrors his own internal longing.

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.

Shantanu and Satyavati

In this evocative work, Raja Ravi Varma captures the poignant first meeting between King Shantanu and Satyavati, the fisherwoman whose beauty and grace would alter the destiny of the Kuru dynasty. The artist masterfully portrays the king in his royal regalia, kneeling in a humble boat, struck by the ethereal presence of the young woman as she handles the oar. There is a palpable sense of longing and wonder in the gaze of Shantanu, which is contrasted with the demure yet dignified composure of Satyavati. Varma bridges the gap between the divine narratives of the ancient epics and the relatable human emotions of love and destiny, creating a scene that feels both timeless and deeply intimate.
