Abhijit Naskar
“No matter the nature of an experience, there's always an explanation. You may not get it, due to lack of data, time or tenacity, but there is always an explanation.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

Abhijit Naskar
“No Book Holds All The Answers (Sonnet 2967)

We are the test of humanity,
we are the proof of humanity,
nothing is predestined,
yet nothing is impossible -

not by divine intervention,
but by human determination,
which is why it is of utmost importance,
there must be no air of supernaturalism
surrounding my work, no matter how mystical
some of my verses sound on the surface.

Any book, old or new, that claims to hold
all the answers to life, is a scam.

Even my work is not unscrutinizable,
it's just that, my work is scrutinizable
only by individuals who've outgrown all
separatist thinking, without succumbing to
blind faith, apathetic logic, or newage magic.

The more ordinary we live our life,
the more extraordinary we become in time.
The more realities I contain,
the more unreal I appear to tribal minds.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth
