उनको अब प्यार आ गया शायद मुझको इंकार आ गया शायद
एक बेचैन सी ख़मोशी है बक्ते-बीमार आ गया शायद
कुछ चहल-पलह है ख़ाकी-ख़ाकी कोई त्योहार आ गया शायद
होश गु़म और लुटे-लुटे चेहरे कोई बाज़ार आ गया शायद
खून की बू सी अभी आई है अपना अख़बार आ गया शायद

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
Journey's End
In Journey's End, Abanindranath Tagore captures a moment of profound and heartbreaking stillness. An exhausted camel, overburdened by a massive, heavy pack, collapses onto the earth under a smoldering, desolate sky. The animal's large, soulful eye conveys a quiet resignation, speaking volumes about endurance, suffering, and the quiet dignity found in the final moments of labor. Painted in 1913, during a period when India was awakening to a renewed sense of national identity, many art historians interpret the fallen beast as a subtle allegory for the relentless exploitation of the subcontinent under colonial rule. Through delicate washes of tempera, Tagore evokes an atmosphere of deep melancholy and spiritual gravity, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the hidden burdens carried by the vulnerable.
