Ghadi Do Ghadi

Basant Tripathi writes poetry of possibilitieshe is not a translator of his contemporaries, but a heartbroken interpreter of them. His poetry is a poetry of self-discovery. In this search, does he find himself? In fact, this dilemma of losing and finding oneself is the central theme of his poetry. And finding oneself is not some abstraction of the inner self, but the acquisition of a responsible civic morality. The depth and poignancy of this self-discovery poem is such that it avoids transgression and overreach. Basant Tripathi has completed a long poetic journey. Yet, his poetry is devoid of excessive ambition or excess. It is not ambition, but a poetry filled with aspiration. In many of his poems, composed of desire, love, and flowers, clouds, evenings and their various colors, winds, birds, their chirps, water and its various sounds, nature exists as mans exclusive and indispensable comrade. These poems dont escape human despair, but they are also unique accounts of the human will to live, present in their softness and sometimes lyricism, their undertones subtle yet deeply moving. It must be said that Basant Tripathi seeks to understand the purpose that makes human existence meaningful. These poems, which create the illusion of being apolitical, are, in their structure, intention, and structure, poems about achieving an uplifting humanity. Emerging from a worried loneliness, these poems simultaneously experience and express the primitiveness and modernity of the suffering and will to live of the public sphere and the group.
