Even the five-and-ten-cent stores, the epitome of national conformity, took on a local flavor with their displays of turquoise and silver, Aztec pottery, and hand-tooled leather simply screaming for the open marketplace, while the fake pearls crouched back in awe. But it was the gay little Mexican girls who, smiling sweet-tempered behind the counters, set the mood. Never rude, never dull, never tired, they lent a graciousness to the city that seemed to be in secret league with the sunny atmosphere to conjure up its lighthearted spell.”

“Soneto de Fiestas

La Navidad no se trata de decoraciones,
Se trata de compasión.
Hanukkah no se trata de las sufganiyot,
Se trata de unificación.
El Ramadán no se trata de comida,
Se trata de cariño.
Diwali no se trata de luces,
Se trata de la ascensión.
Nuestro mundo está lleno de festivales,
Pero ¿qué significan realmente?
Al celebrarlos con exclusividad cultural,
No somos humanos sino animales salvajes.
Cada fiesta pertenece a toda la humanidad,
Porque la felicidad no tiene identidad religiosa.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Poesía Humanitaria: Cien Sonetos Para Mi Familia Mundial
