तीरथराम कभी झूठ नहीं बोलते! सच के अलावा वे कुछ भी नहीं बोलते!
अक्सर वे मेरे यहां आते हैं, हाल-चाल, पूछते हैं रोटी रोजगार की टोह लेने के बाद कचहरी, मुकदमे पर उतरते हैं!
बहुत दु:खी होते हैं जब सुनते हैं कि गवाह के अभाव में मैं जीतता मुकदमा हार सकता हूं!
तीरथराम पिघल उठते हैं- मैं मदद करने को तैयार हूं। गवाह बनने को तैयार हूं सिर्फ आप बताइए मुझे क्या कहना है? कहां-कहां कहना है’’
मैं चुपचाप सुनता हूं तीरथराम को एक टक देखता हूं!
तीरथराम कभी झूठ नहीं बोलते सच के अलावा कुछ नहीं बोलते

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
Satyaki
This profound work captures a dramatic moment from the Mahabharata, focusing on the noble warrior Satyaki, a devoted ally and charioteer of Lord Krishna. Raja Ravi Varma masterfully bridges the divine and the mortal, portraying the intense emotional currents within the royal court. Satyaki stands resolute and vibrant in soft blue garments, while Lord Krishna sits in serene majesty, his presence anchoring the entire assembly in grace. Through rich textures and expressive faces, the master painter invites us to witness a pivotal juncture of duty, loyalty, and divine intervention, making the ancient epic pulse with living breath.
