Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“When world cries blood (The Sonnet) When world cries blood, your blood ought to boil. If you feel nothing at all, you're a stain upon the soil. Fire in blood you can't inherit, Wake up to duty and ignite yourself. Second hand souls boast bloodline, Humans weave nobility with actions. When the world cries blood, backbone oughta spark thunder. If you feel nothing at all, file for a bankrupt character.”

“Cardiomyopathy Sonnet (Medicine and Metaphor) Person's worth comes from their pulse, not from their purse. It's okay if your purse is anemic, so long as your veins got plenty pulse. It's your pulse that brings the world to life, Pulsating heart is radiator during this ice-age. Ice-age never went away, it just got internalized, As outwardly in appearance we became less savage. Human heart is in dire need of a green house, All the warmth is escaping rapidly. Melting ice caps will drown us later, We'll have kicked the bucket long before, from frostbitten cardiomyopathy. Brain's death is death of the body, Heart's death is death of the being. Kindness keeps the being alive long after the heart stops beating.”

“You are still worried about machines taking over your lives! Your lives are already taken over, not by mechanical deities but by organic sectarian deities born of the womb of your own indifference.”

“What exactly do we have in this chest of ours - heart or ham? How can we be so cold, how can we be so indifferent, how can we be so utterly dead and rotten, that the cry of others never reach our ears, whether they are five thousand miles away or five meters!”

“A child who cares for their friends is an adult, whereas an adult who doesn't care for their neighbor is a child. A child who cares for their friends is a reformist, whereas an adult who keeps quiet while their neighbor is mistreated is a terrorist.”

“Drunk, Insane & Uneducated (The Sonnet) We live in a world where the sane, Are more insane than the clinically insane. Greed and apathy are worse of all ailments, They make a society narrow and vain. We live in a world where the educated, Are more ignorant than the uneducated. Arrogance and egotism are sacrilege of education, They make a savage out of the most learned. We live in a world where the sober, Are more drunk than a sick alcoholic. Coldness makes vegetable out of a human, Then they cuss accountability as idealistic. I'm drunk and insane, with no education whatsoever. And these are the signs of a person sane, sober and seer.”

“Inert objects look good on the mantelpiece. That's about all. They have no other role under the sun. Don’t be a showpiece on the mantelpiece my friend - be a mental piece, and blow your top every time you witness an injustice taking place, and do whatever is necessary to restrain the wrong.”

“Humanitarianism is a myth, So are humanism and charity. They are the world's way, To sustain nothing but apathy. Are you a devout hydrophile, Since you drink water so well? You are not, right - and why not! Because water is but life's essential. In the same way, kindness isn't an ism, Human helping human isn't an ideology. If they stick labels on such act of life, It is but a sign of a rather sick society.”

“Wake Up From Death (The Sonnet) Wake up from death and return to life, For as living dead we’ve been crawling for long. Wake up from sanity and return to insanity, For we've been insane in sanity for long. Wake up from possibility, return to impossibility, For we've been slave to the possible for long. Wake up from reality and return to absurdity, Habits of past have kept us hypnotized for long. Wake up form truth and return to love, For we’ve always confused assumptions with truth. Wake up form ideology and return to the soil, Integration means inclusion, not ideological coup. Enough with nonchalance in the name of practicality! Let us now rise as tornado and wipe out all apathy.”

“Many of the haters call me mental, which, by the way, is quite true, both metaphorically and clinically. It's true clinically because I am a person on the spectrum with OCD, and metaphorically, because I refuse to accept the sanity of unaccountability as the right way of civilized life. I am not going to glorify the issues of mental illness by saying that it's a super power or that it makes a person special. On the contrary, it makes things extremely difficult for a person. But guess what! Indifference is far more dangerous than any mental illness. Because mental illness can be managed with treatment, but there is no treatment for indifference, there is no treatment for coldness, there is no treatment for apathy. So, let everyone hear it, and hear it well - in a world where indifference is deemed as sanity what's needed is a whole lot of mentalness, a whole lot of insanity, insanity for justice, insanity for equality, insanity for establishing the fundamental rights of life and living for each and every human being, no matter who they are, what they are, or where they are.”

Better mistaken than mindless, Better broken than a cheat. Better wrong than cruel, Better ridiculed than rigid. Better shattered than shallow, Better ignited than idjit.”

“Unbound (The Sonnet) Unbound by tradition, Unbound by biases, Unbound by belief, Unbound by loyalties, Unbound by logicality, Unbound by assumption, Unbound by selfishness, Unbound by argumentation, Unbound by intellect, Unbound by ignorance, Unbound by arrogance, Unbound by indifference. This is how we rise human, This is how we find communion.”

“Esperanza Impossible Sonnet 1 Earth is but a bedlam, All the beings are loonies. We are so engrossed in prejudice, Integration feels like blasphemy. We still cannot live side by side, We want it all for ourselves. We won't even move a single inch, When it comes to our opinion and ways. Selfishness, thy name is Sapiens, Upon its norm we philosophize kindness. We invented fancy terms like altruism, Lest we're infected with common humanness. Humanity is too alive to be bound by ism. Dead things can be dogmatized, not expansion.”
