Start small but start somewhere - take responsibility for the issues of your immediate vicinity if not the whole world, and the world will change, slowly but surely.”

“Himalayan Sonneteer Sonnet 3

What is the role of an electrical fuse?
Amateurs will say, conducting electricity.
But the actual task of a fuse is,
To blow itself when the load is too heavy.

Thus the fuse protects the appliance,
Against any electrical irregularity.
Likewise, we gotta blow our fuse,
Whenever inhumanity hangs heavy.

If we stay silent in indifference,
What's the point of all this electricity!
Nerves that carry not vigor but ice water,
Ain't no human nerves but sewers of society.

Human nerves are the life-circuit of society.
If they carry ice water, it is a catastrophe.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Himalayan Sonneteer: 100 Sonnets of Unsubmission
