बुद्धिमान लोगों की तरह बोलो नहीं तो ऐसा बोलो जिससे आभास हो कि तुम बुद्धिमान हो
बोलने से पहले उन तलवारों के बारे में सोचो जो जीभों को लहर-लहर चिढ़ाती हैं
यह भी सोचो कि कर्णप्रिय सन्नाटे में तुम्हारी ख़राश किसी को बेचैन कर सकती है कई संसारों में सिर्फ़ एक बात से आ जाता है भूडोल
खुलो मत लेकिन खुलकर बोलो अपने बोलों को इस तरह खोलो कि वह उसमें समा जाए वह तुममें समाएगा तो तुम बच जाओगे
बोलने से पहले ख़ूब सोचो फिर भी बोल दिया तो भिड़ जाओ बिंदास तलवारें टूट जाएँगी

Geet Chaturvedi
1977 · 2010
Geet Chaturvedi is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant and aesthetically ambitious voices of twenty first century Hindi literature. Born in 1977 in Mumbai and spending much of his creative life in Bhopal, he moves fluidly across poetry, fiction, and profound critical essays. His writing addresses the intense urban isolation, existential anxieties, and fragmented memories of the modern individual. Chaturvedi writes with a deeply cinematic and visual vocabulary. His celebrated poetry collections like Aalaap Mein Girah and Minimum Main capture the profound melancholies of contemporary life without ever losing their lyrical beauty. Awarded the prestigious Bharat Bhushan Agarwal Award, his work has been translated into numerous international languages, proving the global resonance of his themes. He demands complete intellectual engagement from his readers. He represents a generation of writers who confidently place Hindi literature in direct conversation with global literary movements while remaining firmly rooted in Indian realities.
Paired Painting
Rajput Warrior on Horseback
This exquisite miniature painting captures the majestic essence of a Rajput warrior prepared for battle. Clad in chainmail armor and holding a sharp spear, the noble horseman embodies the spirit of chivalry, honor, and martial prowess that defined the warrior clans of northern India. His steed is equally magnificent, draped in protective golden quilted barding and striking crimson leg guards. Set against a luminous green meadow under a stylized dark sky, the artwork preserves the timeless ethos of a proud military culture.
