Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Time is Illusion (The Sonnet) Time is a necessary illusion, forged from the fabric of memory, meant for adding coherence to life, so that you're mindful of your duty. Body cannot survive in the vacuum of space, Mind cannot survive in the vacuum of time. Brain cannot survive in the vacuum of skull, So it floats about in the fluid of spine. Memory makes the past, memory makes future, Memory is the bedrock of the time psyche. Physical time is irrelevant to the mind, Mind creates its own domain of temporality. Time is a myth, that aids us survive. Master the myth, o divine maker - Time and tide are born inside!”

“I wanted to be Feinberg's student, but I didn't know how to go about it. Since it was premature for formal arrangements and since I was naturally reticent and shy, I simply began to greet him very politely whenever our paths crossed. Graduate school was a small community. In corridors and elevators and on campus, I was soon running into Feinberg several times a day, always giving him a polite hello and a nice smile. He would reciprocate similarly with a sort of nervous curling of the lips. As time passed, this limbo of flirtatious foreplay continued unabated. I could never find the courage to broach the question of being his student; I supposed I must have hoped it would just happen wordlessly. Every time I saw him I smiled; every time I smiled he bared his lips back at me with greater awkwardness. Our facial manipulations bore increasingly less resemblance to anything like a real smile; each of our reciprocated gestures was a caricature, a Greek theatrical mask signaling friendliness. One day, on about the fifth intersection of our paths on that particular day, I could stand it no longer. I saw him heading towards me down one of the long dark, old-fashioned Pupin corridors, and immediately turned towards the nearest stairwell and went up one floor to avoid him. Having succeeded at this once, I was compelled to do it repeatedly. Soon I was moving upstairs or downstairs to another floor as soon as I saw him approaching, like the protagonist in some ghastly version of the video game Lode Runner.”

“I think people that are too similar... they don’t mix well. Are used to think soulmates were two of the same. Are used to think I was supposed to look for somebody that was just like me. I don’t believe in soulmates anymore and I’m not looking for anything. But if I did believe in them, I believe your soulmate with somebody who had all the things you didn’t, that needed all the things you had. Not somebody who’s suffering from the same stuff you are.”
