An Indian Ode to the Emirates

Geeta Chhabra has travelled extensively to various countries and these diverse cultures and experiences have helped her express a broader range of themes through her poems. Geeta writes her poems in English and her verses have been translated into Arabic by Dr Shihab Ghanem. Her creative work appears in reputed journals: Dubai Al Thaqafiah, Al Ittihad, Al Bayan, Al Khaleej Cultural Supplement, Al Rafed Magazine, and in Ghanem's book, Likai Tarsom Sawrat Tayer. She was fortunate to have as a guide, mentor and critic, the late Nissim Ezekiel, who encouraged her to write, propelling her poetic expressions.
