Activism Quote by Abhijit Naskar
““Be The Change, Not The Caption (Sonnet) Do good, don't delegate. Go vital, not viral. Dare the deed, not drama. Be the specimen, not a spectacle. Speak truth, not trends. Carve meaning, not metrics. Plant roots, not rumors. Foster oneness, not optics. Lend a hand, not hashtag. Trigger action, not attention. Stir up lives, not likes. Be the change, not the caption.””
