I'm hopelessly optimistic; and particularly fond of the oxymoron.

Wow! @ArcherSheetal selected for the 🇮🇳 able body Archery team for Jr Asia Cup Stage 3. 3rd in the trials today.

1st time an 🇮🇳 Para athlete has been selected to represent 🇮🇳 in an International able body event.

So proud to support Sheetal on this inspiring journey @OGQ_India

Some stories tell themselves.

And if you're lucky to witness some of them unfold, try to chronicle them well, with honesty and heart.

You never know how far these stories might travel or how they might age.

Tamizh names for animals are actually fascinating with how literal they are

the name ‘Anaconda’ is actually derived from ‘Aanai Kondran’ - something used to describe hugeass pythons in South India/Sri Lanka.

Muthalai is used for both crocs(indigenous) and alligators, but alligators get their own name too - Aatpidiyan - “that which catches/grabs people”

for more such facts visit the Madras Croc Bank during the weekends

I was closely involved in the process of creating these maps! Feel very proud seeing these maps put up at all stations on Line-3. Thanks for highlighting this!

Wrote a 5 part docu-series for the ICC on 5 of the best female cricketers who will be seen in action at the Women's Cricket World Cup next month. Some of the stories in women's cricket are so incredible that I genuinely hope that they get more attention. Out on JioHotstar.

I fell behind on picking blackberries, they got overripe & overrun with wasps/flies…

But to my surprise, I came across a gorgeous Mourning Cloak also enjoying the sweet taste of the berries!

It’ll be getting ready to hibernate in another month or so, then emerge in Spring!

Phew....!
I am so glad it is finished!
Have been working on it for the last couple of years.
Hope, I will be able to sleep finally without dreaming about the headwords, entries and APA citations😅.

Tucked away in the background of Bruegel’s Hunters in the Snow (1565) is this easy-to-overlook detail showing villagers using ladders in an attempt to dowse a chimney fire in a snow-capped cottage

From around 1900 onwards, the
Belgian artist Firmin Baes worked almost exclusively in pastels on canvas, rather than paper; he used a similar technique to Degas, crushing pastel sticks and mixing the pigment with water and gum arabic to make a paint that he applied with a brush.

Still recovering from the superb long weekend at QFIesta - top notch quizzes matched evenly by fierce quizzers in fine form. The raucous laughter with friends on the sidelines was the icing on the cake :)

A huge thank you to everyone at @quizfoundation, until next time!

[Jacob Shell @JacobAShell]

Finally framed this. A 2024 issue of the world’s last Manchu script newspaper.

A lovely little write up on quizzing in Chennai in @the_hindu featuring Mrs. Saranya Jayakumar.

On the far left is archaeologist Debala Mitra. She was the only female Archaeologist to become the DIrector General of ASI.
As a female archaeologist, this image of Mitra, clad in saree standing next to A.Ghosh (2nd Left), is powerful and inspiring.

Narali Pournima | नारळी पौर्णिमा
Circa early 1900s, Mumbai.
A rare glimpse of Coconut Day Festival near Churchgate station, when the sea came right up to the steps of Churchgate.

Celebrated by the Koli fishing community to mark the end of monsoon and the beginning of the fishing season, Narali Pournima is an offering of coconuts to the sea god for safe voyages.

Note the crowds wading through the water and the old Churchgate Station (left) in the backdrop.

With heart-thumping excitement, I can now share the cover for my book, published by @BlinkPublishing and @bonnierbooks_uk!

I love the cover and its endorsement from a beknighted reviewer, who also called it "a wonderful achievement" and "just couldn't recommend it more highly".
