भोर जल्द भाग गई लू के डर से साँझ भी निकली है बहुत देर में घर से पछुँआ के झोकों से बरसती अगिन गर्मी के दिन। पशु-पक्षी पेड़-पुष्प सब हैं बेहाल सूरज ने बना दिया सबको कंकाल माँ चिड़िया लाती पर दाने बिन-बिन गर्मी के दिन। हैण्डपम्प पर कौव्वा ठोंक रहा टोंट कुत्ता भी नमी देख गया वहीं लोट दुपहरिया बीत रही करके छिन-छिन गर्मी के दिन। बच्चों की छुट्टी है नानी घर तंग ऊधम दिन भर, चलती आपस की जंग दिन में दो पल सोना हो गया कठिन गर्मी के दिन। शादी बारातों का न्योता है रोज कहीं बहूभोज हुआ कहीं प्रीतिभोज पेट-जेब दोनों के आये दुर्दिन गर्मी के दिन। गर्मी के दिन।

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
Hyderabad, India street scene
This evocative scene transports the viewer to the sun drenched streets of Hyderabad during the final decade of the 19th century. Woldemar Friedrich captures a moment of gentle daily life, where the imposing architecture of the city, characterized by its delicate minarets and stone masonry, stands in quiet contrast to the bustling activity of the thoroughfare. We see a vibrant tapestry of existence, where bullock carts traverse the dusty path and local citizens move under the brilliant Indian sun. The painting serves as a bridge to a bygone era, preserving the rhythm of a culture that thrives amidst the ancient echoes of its own majestic surroundings. It is a testament to the artist's eye for detail, capturing not just a landscape, but the very soul of a city in motion.
