बच्चा सीख रहा टी.वी. से अच्छे होते हैं ये दाग़

टॉफी, बिस्कुट, पर्क, बबलगम खिला-खिला कर मारी भूख माँ भी समझ नहीं पाती है कहाँ हो रही भारी चूक

माँ का नेह मनाए हठ को लिए कौर में रोटी-साग अच्छे होते हैं ये दाग़

बच्चा पहुँच गया कॉलेज में नेता बना जमाई धाक ट्यूशन, बाइक, मोबाइल के नाम पढाई पूरी ख़ाक

झूठ बोलकर ऐंठ डैड से खुलता बोतल का है काग अच्छे होते हैं ये दाग़

हुआ फेल जब, पैसा देकर डिग्री पाई बी.टेक. पास दौड़ लगाई रजधानी तक इंटरव्यू ने किया निराश

बीच रेस में बैठा घोड़ा मुंह से निकल रहा है झाग अच्छे होते हैं ये दाग़

The Poet

अवनीश सिंह चौहान

Avaneesh Singh Chauhan

1972 · 2010

Avaneesh Singh Chauhan represents a fresh and necessary voice in contemporary Hindi literature, particularly in his efforts to revitalize traditional lyrical forms for a modern audience. Born in 1979 in the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, he has dedicated his literary career to the Navgeet movement and the adaptation of Haiku into the Hindi language. He does not write from the isolation of an ivory tower. Instead, his poetry addresses the environmental decay, social fragmentation, and rural displacement that define twenty-first-century India. Chauhan serves as the executive editor of the literary journal Naye Purane, where he actively fosters dialogue between established literary figures and emerging writers. Through his poetry and critical essays, he proves that ancient poetic rhythms can perfectly articulate the anxieties of the modern world. He is a careful observer of everyday life, using short verse and melodic compositions to document the quiet realities that often escape mainstream attention.

Drona Instructing the Pandavas and Kauravas

In this evocative masterpiece, Abanindranath Tagore breathes luminous life into a timeless scene from the Mahabharata. Guru Drona stands tall with dignified grace, a venerable teacher guiding the young princes in the sacred art of archery. The atmosphere is charged with intense focus, quiet reverence, and the gentle intimacy of ancient gurukula life. Tagore weaves traditional Indian aesthetics with a modern wash technique, evoking a profound sense of spiritual heritage and the sacred bond between guru and disciple.
