हास्य की कुछ पंक्तियाँ..

तेरे इश्क़ में हम यूँ बेहाल होते गए,यूँ तो थे यूपी के, बंगाल के होते गए। मेहनत के काम ने ना दिया साथ मेरा,कमाने चले थे पैसे, पर कंगाल होते गए। आए थे मिलने महबूब से छुपते छुपाते,ढूँढने आए थे सुकून, पर बवाल होते गए।

बिछड़न- २ "त्रि‍वेणी"

अरसों से ढूँढ रहा था तुझे मेरी तन्हाई

आई ऐसे बन तू वो किरदार भी न मन भाई

प्रेम का दूसरा अंग है यहाँ बिछड़न

-दिनेश

With some of them almost a photographic reflection of daybreak after rain, artist Purnendu Mandal's canvasses -- currently on exhibition at Triveni Kala Sangam here -- are a deluge of vivid warm colours that capture a city's landscape after rain.

"It is almost like looking outside a window, but through a work of art," Mandal told IANS.

Mandal's 15 acrylic- and oil-on-canvass artworks - collectively titled "Reflections 3" - document the subtleties of urban life during the rains -- first light in a city, storms, rickshaw-pullers and bus drivers resuming activity after a rainy day, and building silhouettes reflecting in the water-filled puddles.

Also included are visual effects of the monsoon like rain drops, fog, wet climate, reflections in water and shades of dampness.

To that extent, "Good Morning Kolkata" (2018), a painting of a tram on a damp Kolkata street, with old buildings and bundles of electric wires adding to the realistic depiction, reflects a day in the city as one would experience it.
