Abhijit Naskar
“Art of Linguistics (Sonnet 1223)

No language speaks of freedom better than spanish,
No language speaks of love better than turkish,
No language speaks of oneness better than sanskrit,
No language interprets better than our good ol' english.

No language speaks to computers better than code,
No language speaks of matter better than physics.
No language speaks of mind better than neurology,
No language speaks pattern better than mathematics.

No language speaks of thought better than philosophy,
No language speaks of emotion better than poetry.
No language speaks of justice better than sociology,
No language speaks of behavior better than psychology.

Purpose of language is communication not argumentation,
If it doesn't bridge the cliffs it all brings but extinction.”
Abhijit Naskar, Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect

Abhijit Naskar
“I have no mother-language, every mother is my mother, every language, my language.”
Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience
