“There is a karbala in each of you, there is a kurukshetra in each of you, there is a jerusalem and chanakkale in each of you. And till you accept defeat out of your own free will, not a force in the world can dampen the daring advances of love and reason.”

“Our individual inaction in the face of injustice actively strengthens and perpetuates its growing systemic hold on society.”

“No sewage is ever sanctified without sewage-workers,
No society is ever civilized without reformers.
No mutation ever occurs without an anomaly,
No world is brought to life without love-laborers.”

“Beyond the Nature of Truth (The Sonnet)
Do you realize how serious the situation is,
Are you aware of the lives ruined by cruelty?
Because if you stay aloof in your cloud castle,
All talk of humanity is but a tale of fantasy.
Can you tell the real from the unreal,
Can you tell facts from fantasy?
I am not talkin' in terms of neuroscience,
I am askin' you as a human, of human responsibility.
We can argue about the nature of truth all we want,
But that won't alleviate the suffering of society.
So the question is, do you know the worth of life,
How far will you go to preserve another's serenity!
Does human welfare overpower your insecurity?
Or is the self still separate from society?”

“Naskar, The Journey
(Sonnet 1540)
The journey began with Art of Neuroscience,
I was the rookie scholar in the block.
Amateurish intellectualism was quite evident,
till my voice took charge in the 11th work.
Finally yours truly was speaking on his own,
without leaning on those who came before.
Riding on a whim, along came sonnets,
Prose and poetry fused in Naskarean ore.
Thus original Naskar started pouring out, as
Hurricane Human, Hometown Human 'n more,
Martyr Meets World to Mücadele Muhabbet,
all as bedrock of assimilation galore.
The journey that began with science,
soon turned into a humanitarian tsunami.
Rooted in love, tempered by reason -
I'm the furnace of peace, piety 'n poetry.”
