जहाँ जाकर खत्म होती हैं दिशायें
Jahan Jaakar Khatm Hoti Hain Dishayen
Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’1 verses · ~1 min
जहाँ जाकर खत्म होती हैं दिशायें, क्या वहाँ दीवार होगी? क्या नहीं दीवार के उस पार भी होंगी दिशायें? कल हुआ सूर्यास्त नभ के जिस निलय में, शून्य का रक्ताभ आँचल है कहाँ? ढूँढते हम जिसे उद्गम में विलय में, सृष्टि का वह आदि कारण है कहाँ? क्या निरर्थक प्रश्न सार्थक उत्तरों की खोज में, पहुँच जाते समारोहों, गोष्ठियों में, भोज में? हृदय कोई बन्द परिपथ याकि तहखाना तिलिस्मी एक भय अज्ञात सा मन में समाया। नहीं खुलती ग्रंथि, बंद कपाट, है उस पार क्या? कब जान पाया। हम कलश की रुप संरचना, सजावट या कला के, मुग्ध आलोचक, प्रशंसक या परीक्षक नहीं कर पाते तनिक श्रम झाँक कर देखें, कि, इसके मध्य है क्या?

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
Girl with a Vase
Antonio Xavier Trindade, often revered as the Rembrandt of the East, possessed an extraordinary ability to capture the quiet, introspective soul of his subjects. In this delicate portrait, he invites us into a moment of profound stillness. The young woman, rendered with soft brushstrokes and a mastery of chiaroscuro, cradles the vessel with a gentleness that speaks of daily devotion and grace. Her gaze is pensive, perhaps lost in a memory or a silent prayer, reflecting the timeless elegance of Indian domestic life. Trindade bridges the gap between Western academic technique and the delicate, evocative essence of the Indian spirit, leaving us with a work that breathes with humanity and humble beauty.
