““Names Behind Naskar (Sonnet) The world often wonders about my influences, in doing so it often cooks up fake inspiration. So I write this little sonnet memoir, so you're aware of the crucial names in my ascension. There is no Naskar the neuroscientist, without, firstly Persinger, then Ramachandran; there is no Naskar the poet, without Mevlana. And among all your historic philosophers, only appealed to me Tolstoy and Aquinas. Then there are Ramanujan and Tesla, with whom I've identified deeply. And finally, to speak of my origin, there is no Naskar the mission, without Gadadhar Chatterjee. These are my most cherished beings, names that are never out of my mind. None of them were flawless, none my god, but they live rent free as part of my light.””
