“Someone asked me the other day, do I like to write prose better or poetry? To which I can only say - both are fundamental to my works. In fact, I started out with prose, as you might remember - and my most invigorating ideas came to this world in the form of prose. Along the way, I felt a craving for poetry, so quite on a whim I wrote the first sonnet. Suddenly an entire new horizon opened up to me. Eventually prose and poetry became equally potent carrier of my ideas - they became complimentary to each other - they became supplementary to each other. However, I do admit, as I grow older, I'm getting more and more drawn towards poetry as my primary vessel.”

“Try to imagine this formless, liquid abyss of many waters and surfaces. With and within this awesome, abysmal substance, God Mother creates universes. We are made from this stuff, literally! And we literally live, move, and have our being in this fathomless, multi-dimensional matrix.”

“I don't write to sell books, I write because my mind teeters on the edge of psychosis if I spend a single day without writing.”

“I don't write to sell books,
I write because my mind succumbs
to psychosis, if I don't write.
I don't write to sell books,
I write because I fall to pieces, even
at the thought of not being able to write.”

“I am not a poetry factory,
I am humanitarian poetry factory,
I'm not what's normally called poetry,
I'm a new paradigm of inoculating poetry.
I am inoculation against hate,
I am inoculation against rigidity.
In a world infested with etymologies,
I am living testament to impossible inclusivity.”

“In the Naskar world, sonnet is not an elitist structure of rigid rhyme and meter, Naskar sonnet is a self-contained unit of civilization, indifferent to literary convention.”

“With my keyboard I've defended the meek,
With my keyboard I've castrated the pricks.
With my keyboard I've brought down dictators,
With my keyboard I've schooled bigoted pigs.
With my keyboard I've raised Gods by hundreds,
With my keyboard I've delivered world-builders.
With my keyboard I've produced hatebusters,
With my keyboard I've raised bulldozers.”

“Iman Insaniyat, Mazhab Muhabbat
(Pani, Agua, Water Sonnet)
In some circles, I am called a genius,
Yet the only genius I know of is service.
In other circles, I am branded fraud,
Yet the only fraud I know of is prejudice.
Saying, you've explored my work,
after spending an evening scrolling
through a few quotes, is like saying,
you've climbed Mount Everest,
after spending an evening scrolling
through pictures of the Himalayas.
Yet I can tell you who I am,
I don't need a million lines but one.
Iman insaniyat, mazhab muhabbat*;
Pani, agua, water, it's all one.
Take my Bible, Koran & Vedas,
Take my Origin of Species.
Throw me to the fires of hell,
My life will still smell of roses.
(*faith humanity, religion love)”
