"Science 'n society go together, can't have one without the other. Where there is love for science, there is love for society."

"Science without accountability is no different from a conspiracy theory."

"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."

"Stay Behind (The Sonnet)While mine owners' kids are packing,Their mittens to colonize Mars,How about you stay behind,To give light as an earthly human star!I am not here to teach you how to code,I am here to show you why code. I am not here to teach you science,But to humanize the scientific road. Okay if they don't know the role of science,You for one, don't walk in their dirtsteps. You are wise, brave, and above all, human,Be the practitioner of humanitarian science. Science is superpower, always use it wisely. Little science does much harm if used recklessly."

"The world needs the kind of technology that lifts human condition, yet what we mostly have today is technology that elevates human comfort and degrades human condition."

"Click Less, Live More (The Sonnet)Moments are vessel for memories,Don't waste them on snobbish hypes. A memory cherished with a loved one,Is worth more than a billion likes. The less devices you have to charge,The more charge you have for your mind. The less you obsess over convenience,The more you develop actual insight. Purpose of camera is to capture memory,Not to desecrate the moments seeking attention. Purpose of a picture is to rejuvenate emotions,Even a thousand pictures are useless without emotion. Click less, live more - that is the motto of wellness. Or else, click more, sick more - there is no treatment."

"Genius By The Dozen (A Sonnet)Given the resources, I can build any technology,Unlike some people, I do not need to hire genius. Yet I gave up my obsession of electronics, because,Building rockets is easy, building society not so much. Not everybody is born with a silver spoon in mouth,Rest of us have to choose among bread, dreams and tears. But don't assume that I am whining about a misfortune,Because, a reformer is worth a hundred entrepreneurs. Rocket science is child's play for even a fisherman's son,Cognitive Science is common sense for a laborer's child. Yet you boast about a bunch of counterfeit geniuses whose,Greatest power is that they are born with a golden hide. If you seek true genius, lend a hand to developing nations. And they'll give you Gates, Musks and Byrons by the dozens."

"AI Con (The Sonnet)Everybody is concerned about psychics conning people,How 'bout the billionaires who con people using science!Con artists come in all shapes and sizes,Some use barnum statements, others artificial intelligence. Most scientists speak up against only the little frauds,But not the big frauds who support their livelihood. Am I not afraid to be blacklisted by the big algorithms!Is the sun afraid, its light will offend some puny hoods!I come from the soil, I'll die struggling in the soil. My needs are less, hence my integrity is dangerous. I am here to show this infantile species how to grow up. I can't be bothered by the fragility of a few spoiled brats. Reason and fiction both are fundamental to build a civilization. Neither is the problem, the problem is greed and self-absorption."

"In a world full of greedy edisons, be a humble Tesla,Time remembers no oligarch kindly no matter the status. Only innovators who get engraved in people's heart,Are the ones who innovate with a humane purpose."

"Good engineer designs gadgets, great engineer designs society."

"I don't advocate for a world without AI, I call for a world where AI is used responsibly."

"The rise of AI will be the end of I ...unless we are careful."

"Intoxication of tech is yet another fundamentalism. Algorithm without humanity is digital barbarism."

"What is technology all about!'Tis all about people and their welfare. All notions to the contrary cause only despair."

"Technology driven by the desire for revenue, doesn't lift society, instead wreaks havoc."

"Technology doesn't make you omnipotent, without moderation, they make you stupid."

"Heartless technology is injurious to humanity."

"Nuts and bolts are our greatest defense against unforeseen terrors of nature, on earth and beyond."

"Extraordinary technology brings extraordinary recklessness, Because the human mind hasn't matured like technology has."

"Traditions have been ruling human behavior,Now technology has cast a spell on society. Just like mindless traditions are dangerous,Heartless technology is injurious to humanity."
