कहाँ है जीवनदायिनी वह कूची चितेरे की
श्लोकों के मौन संगीत में देखो तो लौट रहीं टहनियाँ हरी हरी
लौट रहा काफिला ठूँठों का वृक्षों की राह पर
कहाँ है जीवनदायिनी वह कूची जिसके रंग का चमत्कार है यह जीवन ठूँठों में लौटता
(दो)
वही तना टहनियाँ वही खड़ा भी निकलकर पृथ्वी से ही पर रहा तो ठूँठ ही वृक्ष था जो कभी। बस रंग ही तो नहीं भरा चितेरे ने हरा आकृति और जीवन का रहस्य खुल गया।

The Poet
दिविक रमेश
Divik Ramesh
1946 · 1980s
Divik Ramesh occupies a highly respected position in Hindi literature as a writer who treats both adult and children's poetry with equal intellectual rigor. Born Ramesh Chand Sharma in 1946 in Delhi, he dedicated his career to teaching while simultaneously building a vast and diverse body of literary work. He writes with a profound awareness of social inequalities and the quiet anxieties of modern urban life. His poetry collections, such as Khuli Aankhon Mein Aakash and Raste Ke Beech, are marked by a straightforward honesty that refuses to hide behind complex metaphors. Beyond his poetry for adults, he has made an immense contribution to children's literature, a field often overlooked by serious writers. Recognizing this lifelong dedication, he was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Bal Sahitya Puraskar in 2018. He has also translated extensively, building cultural bridges between Indian and South Korean literature. He is a writer who believes that literature must remain accessible, compassionate, and deeply rooted in human empathy.

Summer Landscape
This tranquil summer landscape by Vsevolod Nikulin captures a quiet moment in nature, focusing on a majestic, flourishing tree standing sentinel near a calm body of water. Nikulin, also known as Vittorio, approached his subjects with a profound sensitivity to light, atmosphere, and the quiet dignity of rural and pastoral settings. The rich greens of the foliage contrast gently with the earthen tones of the ground and the modest structures in the distance, inviting the viewer into a peaceful contemplative space where time seems to slow down.
