“Don't Hide Your Past (The Sonnet)

The first few minutes of my first
stage talk were absolute disaster.
First few books were mere intellectual
commentary, lacking in original Naskar.

Don't beat yourself up for the
follies of your early years.
Doesn't matter, you made mistakes,
what counts is, you outgrew your errors.

If a life claims a flawless history,
rest assured, it's a concoction of lies.
Flawlessness is mark of lifelessness,
to be alive means to be battered by cries.

Mistakes are the cornerstones of clarity,
they wire your unique perception in place.
Absence of error is the end of living sanity,
to fabricate your past is to obliterate yourself.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Clockwork mice and clockwork minds both can run great distances with no sense of why?”
