बहुत नशेड़ी होकर भी चाह रहा था समुद्र मॆं पीता रहूँ । पीता रहूँ बैठा गोवा के तट पर । नशे में डूबता आदमी ही चाहता हॆ
डूबता जाए पूरा ब्रह्माण्ड नशे में । पास बैठा मेरा मित्र कर रहा था जिद थोड़ा और पीऊँ
और मैंने भी कह दिया - हाँ । मुझे बहुत डर लगा था कहीं आसपास न हो माँ और पिता की अदृश्य मौजूदगी में भी
मैं अदृश्य होने लगा था । मैंने कहा था - हाँ ना ही तो सुनता आया हूँ आज तक । झाड़ता ही रहा हूँ गर्द
देर से अपढ़ी किताब-सी याद की । आओ आओ लहरो मेरे पास बैठो और लौट जाओ ।
दुत्कारा हुआ मैं चाहता तो बहुत हूँ कि करूँ सत्कार तुम्हारा पर हारा हारा हारा हारा । अपनी ही हाँ से हारा ।

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.
Paired Painting
Karna and Kunti
This poignant depiction captures one of the most tragic and profound encounters in the Mahabharata. Kunti, the mother of the Pandavas, approaches her abandoned son Karna on the banks of the Ganga. The painting breathes with the weight of unspeakable secrets and the heavy mantle of duty. Karna, a warrior defined by his loyalty to Duryodhana despite his divine lineage, rests in a moment of vulnerability. Kunti, draped in white, embodies the sorrow of a mother whose maternal love was sacrificed at the altar of circumstances. It is a quiet, devastating intersection of destiny and blood, reminding the viewer that even the greatest heroes are bound by the threads of fate.
