सीधी - सादी पगडंडी पर टेढ़ी चाल जमाने की ।
एक हक़ीक़त मेरे आगे जिसकी शक्ल कसाई-सी एक हक़ीक़त पीछे भी है ब्रूटस की परछाईं-सी
ऐसे में भी बड़ी तबीयत मीठे सुर में गाने की ।
जिस पर चढ़ता जाता हूँ है पेड़ एक थर्राहट का हाथों तक आ पहुँचा सब कुछ भीतर की गर्माहट का
जितना ख़तरा उतनी ख़ुशबू अपने सही ठिकाने की ।

The Poet
शिव बहादुर सिंह भदौरिया
Shiv Bahadur Singh Bhadauria
Dr. Shiv Bahadur Singh Bhadauria was a foundational pillar of the Navgeet movement, redefining the landscape of modern Hindi lyric poetry. Born in 1927 in the Raebareli district of Uttar Pradesh, he devoted his life to both academic scholarship and literary creation. Bhadauria rejected the rigid orthodoxies of earlier poetic forms, choosing instead to infuse the traditional lyric with contemporary themes, rural sensibilities, and deep social awareness. Through seminal collections like 'Purwaa Jo Dol Gayee' and 'Shinjanee', his verses captured the breathing reality of village life alongside the shifting emotions of a modernizing India. Serving for decades as an educator and college principal, his influence shaped generations of writers. He possessed a rare ability to craft language that was highly musical yet intellectually sharp, ensuring that the Navgeet genre retained both its melodic charm and its relevance to ordinary human struggles.
Paired Painting
Draupadi and Simhika
In this evocative work, Raja Ravi Varma captures a profound moment of trepidation from the Mahabharata. Draupadi, the dignified heroine of the epic, is depicted navigating the dense, shadowed forests of the Kamyaka. She is accompanied by the rakshasi Simhika, who disguised herself as a lady in waiting to deceive her. The artist portrays the contrast between the guileful serenity of the deceiver and the genuine, wide eyed anxiety of Draupadi, whose intuition senses the impending peril. Through his signature synthesis of European oil techniques and Indian storytelling, Varma breathes life into the texture of the saris and the nervous tension within the jungle foliage, reminding us that even the most divine figures must confront the dangers of the unknown.
