My dear Readers,
As I wish you all a very happy new year of 2026, my thoughts emphasize, one more time, the importance of love and peace and harmony.
Look! UAE is an excellent example – standing out like a sparkling star… where so many nationalities are working in togetherness in the most positive manner. How blessed, UAE is! Kudos to the leadership!
I think oftentimes, on this subject.
I am sure, so do you all.
This month, I share poems from my first book: An Indian Ode To The Emirates.
This book is a tribute to my second home – Dubai and UAE, as a whole.
