कोयल की कूकों में शामिल है ट्रैक्टर का शोर धान-रोपाई के गीतों की तान हुई कमजोर गाँव की बदल गई है भोर।

कहाँ गये सावन के झूले औऽ कजरी के गीत मन के भोले उल्लासों पर है टीवी की जीत इतने चाँद उगे हर घर में चकरा गया चकोर

समाचार-पत्रों में देखा बीती नागपच‌इयाँ गुड़िया ताल रंगीले-डण्डे कहाँ गईं खजुल‌इयाँ दंगल गुप्प अखाड़े सूने बाग न कोई मोर

दरवाजे पर गाय न गोरू भले खड़ी हो कार कीचड़-माटी कौन लपेटे जब चंगा व्यौपार खेतों-खलिहानों में उगते मॉल और स्टोर

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.

Jatayu Vadha

Paired Painting

Jatayu Vadha

This profound masterpiece captures a heartrending moment from the Ramayana, where the noble vulture king Jatayu attempts to rescue Mother Sita from the clutches of the demon king Ravana. Raja Ravi Varma brings a cinematic intensity to the struggle, depicting the selfless sacrifice of the great bird who gives his life to serve the divine cause. The canvas breathes with the raw emotion of Sita's distress, the cruel determination of Ravana, and the tragic heroism of Jatayu, whose falling feathers symbolize the shattering of innocence and the courage of the righteous against overwhelming darkness.
