“Your Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet) With infinite love brimming in my heart, I have arrived at your doorstep. Please, I beg you, do not turn me back, Let me in, so I may be one with your footstep. It's not my fault, I wasn't born in your culture, Yet I've assimilated your culture as my own. Please do not throw me out my dear friend, Standing together our powers will be honed. I may not speak your native tongue, I may not be familiar with your way of life. But do you not smile like me when in joy, Like me do you not shed tears when in strife! Here I stand at your door with my arms stretched. Hold it with affection or chop it off if you so elect.” — Abhijit Naskar
Your Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet)
With infinite love brimming in my heart,
I have arrived at your doorstep.
Please, I beg you, do not turn me back,
Let me in, so I may be one with your footstep.
It's not my fault, I wasn't born in your culture,
Yet I've assimilated your culture as my own.
Please do not throw me out my dear friend,
Standing together our powers will be honed.
I may not speak your native tongue,
I may not be familiar with your way of life.
But do you not smile like me when in joy,
Like me do you not shed tears when in strife!
Here I stand at your door with my arms stretched.
Hold it with affection or chop it off if you so elect.
