“It was during my explanation to my young daughter that I finally realized why I had been drawn to this particular practice of law. Yes, some of my clients were just gaming the system. They were charlatans no better than the banks they were taking on. But some of mu clients were downtrodden and disadvantaged. They were true underdogs in society and I wanted to stand for them and keep them in their homes for as long as I possibly could.”
― Michael Connelly, The Fifth Witness

“Charity is the best form of prayer. Do whatever little you can to help the not so fortunate. You may donate a small portion of your income, you may take out time to teach the underprivileged children, sponsor a meal for the hungry or just spend some time with an old lady who has no one. I am sure that you will move one level high on the spiritual plane. Like prayers, doing charity once is not enough. You have to do it continuously, as much as possible.”
― Neelam Saxena Chandra

“Do you ever feel how unfair life can get for someone? Do you ever feel how someone feels when they are born into a poor family? When someone finds out that they have to work in a job like being a waiter/ waitress in a hotel at the age of 20 years or a office boy or office girl in an organisation? They did not have the education that you were privileged to have because you were born to parents who were smarter than the common man or woman of that time.

“The rich won't win. They are pampered blokes. We have daily struggles. They don't even know what struggle is in life. We face adversities on a daily basis. They lead a life of luxury. We have to make choices for our survival. They don't know that they have to make any kind of choices. We have to take care of our families. They don't know what they want. We have to fight on a daily basis to earn our pennies. They squander their money on stupid luxuries. We fight for survival. They give a damn to us and the world.

“We're not born equal (Bicycle Diaries, 2766)

Astrology is the dumbest superstition of all,
your date of birth has zero effect on your destiny,
but your place of birth, on the other hand,
shapes a great deal of your life and character.

Someone born in Paris demands from their parents,
that they must go on a world tour again this year,
someone born in Palestine asks their parents,
can they have a small doll this year.

Someone growing up in the blackhole of Calcutta,
has to labor 100 times harder to make a name,
than someone from Cambridge or Copenhagen.

Light bends towards gravity,
equality bends towards privilege,
some dream of touring the moon,
some dream of a roof over head.

We're not all born equal, some of us
are born with more than two functioning
brain cells, but no inherited goldmine,
still we chart the cosmos on a bicycle,
while monkeys confuse lamborghini with life.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
