Lisa Ray's Dubai Poem: Resilience Amidst Uncertainty

Actress and author Lisa Ray recently shared a reflective poem addressing the emotional toll of current events in Dubai. She described the city as her "second home," expressing empathy for the collective anxiety and uncertainty experienced by residents and friends during this period.

Ray revealed that she has been privately working on a book of poems, finding solace in language during challenging times. Her latest work is dedicated to the resilience of families enduring instability, drawing inspiration from her husband's childhood in Lebanon where he normalized the sound of missiles overhead.

She emphasized the role of art and creation in responding to difficult circumstances, stating that shared courage and tenderness are essential. The poem is offered as a testament to the strength of those for whom "normal" has included the presence of sirens and conflict.
