परम्परा का अनुकरण या अनुकरण की परम्परा। भीड़ चारों ओर चिल्ल-पों और शोर। भीड़, भीड़ों से घिरी, भीड़, भीड़ों में गुथी, भीड़ भी निरुपाय है, भीड़ ही समुदाय है। यन्‍त्र-चालित दौड़, नहीं जिसमें, स्वाँस का अवकाश। लगी ऐसी होड़, छिले घुटने, ठोकरों ने तोड़ डाले, पोर अँगुली के। नाक से, मुँह से हुआ है, रक्‍तपात। किन्‍तु फिर भी, दौड़ने को विवश। भय है! भीड़ से पीछे न रह जायें कहीं। हम अकेले, गुम न हो जायें कहीं। अनुकरण की परम्परा या परम्परा का अनुकरण।

Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’

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 Ganga

Paired Painting

Shantanu and Ganga

This profound canvas brings to life a haunting moment from the Mahabharata, where the celestial river goddess Ganga walks into the rushing waters with her newborn infant, fulfilling an ancient divine curse. King Shantanu, desperate and bewildered, chases helplessly along the rocky riverbank, his outstretched hand pleading for mercy as the boundary between mortal grief and cosmic destiny shatters before our eyes. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully captures the complex emotional landscape of the scene, contrasting the serene, otherworldly detachment of Ganga with the frantic anguish of the mortal king, all rendered under a turbulent twilight sky.
