कितने अधिकार से फुदकती है गौरैया! घर में आंगन में छज्जे-मुंडेर पर
मेरा घर अपना घर समझती है गौरैया!
चहचहाती है गौरैया! खिड़की से झांकती है गौरैया!
घोंसलें बनाती है गौरैया! दाना चूगती हैं चुगाती है गौरैया!
दानें बिखेरता हूं चुन-चुन कर खाती है और उड़-उड़ जाती है गौरैया! पास नहीं आती है गौरैया!

The Poet
उदय भान मिश्र
Uday Bhanu Mishra
Uday Bhanu Mishra lived a life deeply immersed in both the broadcast and literary landscapes of modern India. Serving for years as a director for Akashvani in Gorakhpur, he carried a vast geographical and emotional terrain within him. He was a restless traveler and a keen observer of the human condition, qualities that heavily influenced his diverse literary output. Mishra did not limit himself to one form. He wrote evocative travelogues like Ramgram se Kamakhya tak, the highly personal memoir Kahani Sirf Meri Nahi, and deeply resonant poetry collections like Aag Ki Neeli Nadi. His poems often reflect a quiet endurance, mapping out the betrayals of close friends alongside the enduring strength of the human spirit. He wrote without a trace of bitterness, preferring instead to view life with a patient, accepting warmth. While mainstream literary circles often overlooked regional figures, Mishra steadily built an intimate body of work that speaks directly to the complexities of personal grief and silent resilience.
Paired Painting
Preparing for Puja at the Shrine
This intimate interior scene captures a quiet, sacred moment of domestic devotion, reflecting the deep spiritual rhythms of traditional Indian household life. Figures are delicately engaged in preparing offerings for a puja or sacred ritual at a domestic shrine. The tender gesture of assistance, the reverent focus on the ritual vessels, and the gentle architectural framing evoke a profound sense of peace and familial piety. Through careful artistry, the work preserves a vanishing window into the cultural traditions and quiet spiritual grace of domesticity.
