Let them pour all their hopes and dreams, their passions, their purpose, their tragedies, their triumphs, their culture, their language, everything - let them pour everything that they are, into you.

“The Good Conqueror (Sonnet)

Born in the land of multiculturalism,
I grew up speaking three languages,
mother tongue, national tongue and English.

Then in my late teens I acquired
my fourth tongue Telugu on a whim,
and later along the years,
I acquired my fifth, Turkish, which
became my dearest, and my sixth,
yet to be perfected, Spanish.

That's the only conquest I care about,
for language is the highway to culture.
Not real estate, gadgets or cash,
give me languages, give me cultures.

English is my work language,
Turkish is my love language.
Science is my brain language,
Integration, my heart language.”

“Accessibility is Humanity (Sonnet)

I wanted my mind to be accessible to everyone,
so I started translating my core ideas into as
many languages as I can phonetically make sense.
I wanted to be visible further beyond the eyes,
so, lacking braille, I started recording my voice.

I have a scientist brain, sufi heart, and a monk
spirit - I don't need to outsource any faculty.
I am capable, I am incorruptible, I am alive -
I need no one's charity to uphold my humanity.

No backing, only backbone.
No benefactor, only brain power.
No industry, only integrity.
No contract, only character.

Exclusivity breeds jungle, inclusivity makes society.
Vip access is for animals, accessibility is humanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience

“Quite often I'm accused of grandeur,
as my vastness feels a threat to narrowness.
Sun is the devil in narratives of the rigid,
rays of the morning sting nasty on the bigoted.

I'm accused of grandeur, for I embody justice -
I'm accused of slander, for I embody tolerance -
I'm accused of blasphemy, for I epitomize equality -
every people, my home, hence, I'm such a nuisance.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The God Sonnets: Naskar Art of Theology
