Abhijit Naskar
“Truth is relevant only in its subservience to life.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

Abhijit Naskar
“Naskaristana 2789

I arrived with a clever brain,
walked among clever apes,
studied history written by winners,
so I could earn some ape respect.

Then I got weary of all the hypocrisy,
idolizing morons as savior of humanity,
mistaking the lens for the landscape,
confusing privilege as social sanity -

frustrated I plunged into fire,
brain, vanity, esteem, the lot,
all reputation burnt to ashes,
what remain is unflinching humanity.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace
