“What is love? The more you try to understand it, the less you will understand.”
Adil Alzarooni, The Red Island: The Gatekeeper

Abhijit Naskar
“I'm asked to compare USA with UAE,
So here it is, in my free form sonnetary.

For starters, there is no comparison -
UAE is a civilized country, USA is not.
Sure UAE has its share of violations,
like every living country in the world,

but unlike USA, the incredible growth
and the very birth of UAE is not founded
on the worst kind of atrocities in history.”
Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
