― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“I think our maps contributed to a revolution in geological thinking, which is some ways compares to the Copernican revolution. Scientists and the general public got their first relatively realistic image of a vast part of the planet that they could never see. The maps received wide coverage and were widely circulated. They brought the theory of continental drift within the realm of rational speculation. You could see the worldwide mid-ocean ridge and you could see that it coincided with earthquakes. The borders of the plates took shape, leading rapidly to the more comprehensive theory of plate tectonics.”
― Marie Tharp

“Earth has no boundaries or barriers that man did not erect.”

“My First Love (The Sonnet)

My first love was not science,
My first love was theology.
Then what got me hooked on science,
Was the spark of electronic circuitry.

Eventually through happy and sad accidents,
Everything fell into its proper place.
Science, theology, and much more
got mixed up, and I ended up pioneering
the empire of humanitarian science.

I am a better scientist because of theology,
I am a better theologian because of science.
Hand in hand they found fulfillment,
When with poetry I built a heartfelt alliance.

I have no gift, it's just that, expansion is my lifeblood.
In a world run by narrowness, the smallest act
of expansion seems like an act of God.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Facts are the ingredients, scientist is the vessel, and love is the fire. When all three come together, that's when good science is born, capable of nourishing a society. But if you just dump the ingredients in without measure, and serve them cold without first cooking them with love, it's not science, but a recipe for disaster.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Science that doesn't lift human condition, is not science but superstition.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Divane Dynamite: Only truth in the cosmos is love

“Science is Service (The Sonnet)

Extraordinary technology brings extraordinary recklessness,
Because the human mind hasn't matured like technology has.
We may have developed technology that defies human limits,
Evolutionary predispositions of the mind haven't disappeared.
That's why I say, bigger the power the smaller the mind.
For a wielder without backbone, silicon is but plaything.
Even an ounce of science can do unimaginable harm.
To fathom it you gotta step out of the glare most blinding.
Science 'n society go together, can't have one without the other.
Where there is love for science, there is love for society.
If this simple thing doesn't penetrate the skull of us thickies.
We would be better off without all the scientific glory.
Science is an act of service in the course of lifting all humanity.
Science without accountability is no different from a conspiracy theory.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None

Good scientist uses science to lift up life.”

“They say, scientists are the new priests. Well, most priests leave things to god - we don't - we are gods. And not just us scientists - every human who takes responsibility for their society, is a living god. Even a priest can be god - those rare few who inspire their parishioners to be god-like rather than god-fearing. Whether you believe in the supernatural, that's irrelevant. The question is, are you mindful of your duties to the natural world?

The difference between creator and creation is in responsibility. The creator takes responsibility, the creation delegates it. What are you?”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“Science is service - if you don't get this, you are not a scientist, but a glorified con-artist.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“Science is service.”

“Rowdy Scientist Sonnet

Science is neither boastful nor bashful,
Science stands dutybound, forever mindful.
Science gives the final answer as a ray of hope,
With all avenues exhausted to the last granule.

Science is neither defensive nor offensive,
Science can't afford such primitive prerogative.
Transcending binary norms science acts whole,
Defying the comfort of all corrosive narrative.

Science is slave to none, science enslaves none,
Science blooms from reason, endorsing curiosity.
But don't ever confuse curiosity with cynicism,
Curiosity brings understanding, cynicism apathy.

Average scientists seek answers,
Great scientist seeks questions.
Submissive scientists chase solutions,
I'm a Rowdy Scientist, give me problems!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“Science is neither boastful nor bashful,
Science stands dutybound, forever mindful.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

dumps the world in stoneage,
Science devoid of society
shoves the mind into iceage.”

Science is love of the light of knowledge.

Even if it's peddled in the benefit of knowledge.”

“Science Anthem (Sonnet 1216)

Science is my ode to society,
Science is serenade to society.
Science is the road to society,
Science is my aid to society.

Science is my poetry,
Science is philosophy.
Science is my thriller,
Science is my love story.

Science is not a love of knowledge,
Science is love of the light of knowledge.
Light of knowledge doesn't allow inhumanity,
Even if it's peddled in the benefit of knowledge.

Science is love, science is light,
Science is torch to the world at night.
Sometimes boring, sometimes daring,
Science es el loco amante of life.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“If politicians disappear from the world, civil servants could easily do their job, because in reality, they already do. But if scientists disappear from the world, so will the world.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“We Are The Scientists
(Sonnet 1214)

Justifying human rights violation as
necessary evil may be habit of politicians.
Scientists must be wiser than that, otherwise,
Science is just a weapon of mass destruction.

Scientist without humanity is anything but scientist,
Science without humanity is anything but science.
Civilized scientists work for the progress of humanity,
Primitive scientists work for the progress of science.

Progress of science is not necessarily progress of humanity,
Particularly when science advances trampling human life.
World leaders may brush off such matter as collateral,
To a scientist with spine nothing is higher than human life.

Whole world is in our care, beyond all law and politics.
We are capable, we are accountable - we are the scientists!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science
