I have been living in Dubai for 20 years. I did not know much about India or Pakistan before coming to the UAE, but since living here for more than two decades I have many friends from both the countries by now. I learnt about their culture, traditons and food habits. I started watching Bollywood films and Pakistani dramas. I fell in love with that. I have met many stars from both the countries in Dubai. I learnt to read and write in Hindi and Urdu too from my friends. I love India and Pakistan. But the recent clashes made me very upset. I felt bad for my friends. They were worried and I kept on calling them daily. I am happy the way Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart showed maturity and agreed to stop this war. I appreciate both the leaders for their wise leadership. Hope peace prevails from now onwards.
