“Obscurity Establish Greatness (Sonnet) I grew up in a 20ft/20ft one-room house, used to walk an hour to get to school - and although I never knew what luxury was, I'm just grateful, I never had to starve - I never had to wear torn clothes, never had to experience a leaky roof, unlike my parents, who grew up poor, as neither of my grandfathers were good providers. Like my father, his father was a factory worker, but unlike my father, he could barely feed his family, and my other grandfather was a poor priest, who too could barely provide for his family, with the little money he earned from religious ceremonies. My parents grew up in abject poverty, I grew up in modest security, and all of it has kept me grounded. Little obscurity is essential for building character - luxury stunts growth, obscurity establish greatness.” — Abhijit Naskar
