“Bluestone said, "Hihanni waste."
"He honnay washtay?" Sam gave him a bewildered half smile. "I'm afraid I don't understand."
"Exactly my point," Bluestone said. "I've lived in a white man's world all my life, But you have never lived in mine....It's a greeting....”

“My Pronoun is People
(Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266)
My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!
Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.
Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other's keeper.
You ask, what am I - I say, I am human,
Better yet, I'm human's idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute -
morally unbending 'n divinely cute -
ever evolving testament to expansion.”

“Quit the contraction, start the construction,
Set out as sailors in the course of unity.
Quit the paralysis, start the osmosis,
Disinfect the world with your fearless electricity.”

“Naskar is the outcome of such churning.
When all cultures come together, Naskar is born.
Call it Naskar, call it Human - all the same,
It all represents the undivided spirit of dawn.”

“All said and done, in our headstrong struggle for inclusion, we mustn't also underestimate everything we have achieved so far as a species. As a matter of fact, we've come a long way since our tribal days of division and discrimination. Let me show you how. World's most beloved poet, Mevlana Rumi, was a muslim - world's icon of civil rights, MLK, was a black person - world's greatest inspiration of science, Albert Einstein, was a German Jew - and most recently, as of 2023, PM of UK and VP of US, both are of Indian origin.
So don't tell me, we've achieved nothing - don't tell me, there is no hope for integration! Integration is happening all over the world, despite the ancient impediments of intolerance and hate. Therefore, the question is not whether integration is possible - real question is, are you a part of that integration, or aren't you! Our home is planet earth - and here on earth, we all cry the same pain, smile the same joy, and live the same love.”
