जगहें खत्म हो जाती हैं जब हमारी वहॉं जाने की इच्छाएं खत्म हो जाती हैं लेकिन जिनकी इच्छाएं खत्म हो जाती हैं वे ऐसी जगहों में बदल जाते हैं जहॉं कोई आना नहीं चाहता
कहते हैं रास्ता भी एक जगह होता है जिस पर जिन्दगी गुजार देते हैं लोग और रास्ते पॉंवों से ही निकलते हैं पॉंव शायद इसीलिए पूजे जाते हैं हाथों को पूजने की कोई परंपरा नहीं हमारी संस्कृति में ये कितनी अजीब बात है।

The Poet
नरेश सक्सेना
Naresh Saxena
1939 · 2001
Naresh Saxena holds a singular and fascinating position in contemporary Hindi literature as a man who brought the exactitude of science into the heart of poetry. Born in 1939 in Gwalior and trained as an engineer, he did not publish his first poetry collection, Samudra Par Ho Rahi Hai Baarish, until he was sixty one years old. Yet, his literary presence had already been firmly established through decades of publication in prestigious journals. Saxena writes with a unique physiological and environmental awareness. He constructs his poems not out of abstract romanticism, but from the physical mechanics of the natural world and the complex realities of modern survival. His language is spare, precise, and completely devoid of unnecessary ornamentation. Alongside his poetry, he is an acclaimed playwright whose drama Aadmi Ka Aa has been staged thousands of times, and a filmmaker who won a National Film Award for his directorial work. He demonstrates that a poet does not need to abandon the rational world to understand the human soul.
Paired Painting
Nasik Scene (III of IV)
António Xavier Trindade, often revered as the Rembrandt of the East, possessed an extraordinary ability to capture the soul of India through a lens of profound empathy and technical brilliance. In this masterful work, he transports us to the sacred ghats of Nasik, a city steeped in ancient devotion and the gentle flow of the Godavari River. The painting hums with the quiet rhythms of daily life: here, the sacred and the mundane exist in a beautiful, harmonious dance. Figures draped in soft pastel garments gather by the cool, translucent waters, their presence speaking to a timeless tradition of purification and prayer. Trindade invites us to witness this collective moment of grace, where the light plays upon the temple stone and the water alike, grounding the viewer in a sense of serenity that has endured for generations.
