I am touched of your personal touch to the invitation. This gesture, was not necessary as we regard it as a family event and would have loved to participate but for the seminar that I had already committed to a month ago.

We do take this opportunity to express that we are simply delighted and overjoyed to note and read of your feat accomplished in the poetic literary fields. Your determination and positive attitude filled with passion for expression will no doubt present you with many more accolades.

Warmest and hearty Congratulations!

The book no doubt is a hallmark and endorsement of Geeta’s inspiration that you have so dearly pursued and now cements the two nations through your ode! What a fabulous way to launch!

You are rewarding our Indian community and making us proud. Wish you tons of good luck in all your future endeavours!

Geeta Chhabra takes her readers on a sensory journey across the dunes of the Arabian Desert. Her poems provide a glimpse into the lives of the residents coping up with rapid urbanization while trying to hold onto age old customs and traditions in this constant struggle between mankind and nature. The implicit visualization of her works speak aloud of her deep understanding of the underlying cultural ties between Arabia and India. With my very best regards.
