'The poetic, cultural, and positive permeate every piece written by Dr. Akhtar. His style is always poetic, rooted in his culture and identity as an Urdu-speaking Indian immigrant from a historied literary family, and the playful way in which he writes both embodies and gestures, implicitly, if not explicitly, to his confidence in positive human capacities [...] , there is a way that Dr. Akhtar’s writing sings through his word-choice, the rhythm and cadence of each sentence, the structure of paragraphs, and the shape of the overall piece.'
