“Run for service, not office.
Chase change, not campaign victory.
If you can't change the world without office,
you definitely can't change it in office.
Who am I? I am Abhijit Naskar, EAS -
Earth Administrative Servant the First.
Who's next - who is thunderful enough,
to shoulder the world as living Atlas!”

“Some make cars,
Some make rockets.
I am reformer,
not entrepreneur.
I make Gods and Prophets.”

“For justice I am mental,
My honor is not rental.
Amidst all heritage of fear,
I choose to be love elemental.”

“To me everyone is equal, until they feel the urge to offer advise based on some stroneage tradition. That moment, I stop considering them as equal humans, and start treating them as adolescent children. Whenever you feel the audacity to advise a reformer, ask yourself this - what exactly have you done for the society that makes you qualified to judge a reformer? I sacrificed my youth for the world. What have you done? I put off starting a family for the world. What have you done? I obliterated my national and cultural identity for the world. What have you done? Till you've abolished the last trace of active bigotry, intolerance and fanatical fantasies from your mind, don't you dare touch my work. Everybody can quote Naskar, not everybody can accompany Naskar.”

“Dear li'l governments (The Sonnet)
Dear li'l governments of the world,
You don't have a friend in me,
If people are not your priority.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you thrive on inequality.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you're partial to one religion.
You don't have a friend in me,
If you're founded on nationalism.
Dear li'l governments of the world,
If you know what's best for you,
Walk the course of integration.
If you choose tribalism instead,
In me you'll find your abolition.”

“I am the emperor of time and space,
I am the backbone of human universe.
With my hands I carve civilization,
I am awareness absolute - I am sapiocosmos.”

“Visvabiotic (The Sonnet)
Human is bandaid to human burn,
Human is ointment to human yearn.
Human is morning to human mourn,
Human is cure born of human churn.
Human is Altair to human Vega,
Human is aloe to human vera.
Human is pilgrim to human mecca,
Human, Poly-B to social septicemia.
There is no fancy heaven,
only a good fervent human.
There is no book of god,
only a brave godly person.
Human is piety to prejudice barbaric.
To all inhuman hate, Human Visvabiotic.”
