“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 100 (Naskar Sonnet 1000) It's the little everyday acts of justice, That bring most change in society. It's the little everyday acts of justice, That actually eliminate inhumanity. One big revolution in five years, Brings no lasting change. But one small act of uncompromise everyday, Makes the whole world gain conscience. Hence, reformation of a nation isn't measured, By how many big revolutions it has to face. Reformation of a nation is predicated on, How many citizens it has who refuse to bend. So I say - break the chains, take off the blinkers. The whole world awaits, for it needs to be tinkered.”

“A lawman asking for bribe from a civilian to fulfill certain necessary paperwork, is committing injustice. A pervert who gropes and manhandles a woman in public transportation, is committing injustice. A college student who bullies the newcomers, is committing injustice. These are the injustice committed by ordinary people that occur around the world on a daily basis, all because the people around are either afraid or do not feel responsible enough to stand up to them. If they did, if you do, if only a handful of individuals in every corner of the society stand up to such everyday injustice, then we will witness a revolutionary decline in the very graph of crime and chaos all over the world.”
