Where memories collide with history and identity takes center stage. @petergodwin shares his poignant memoirs, unpacking the layers of displacement and resilience. A session that resonated deeply with every heart. #KolkataLitMeet #Kalam2025 #LitMeet #readiscover #event #kolkata

From delicate nuances to powerful expressions, the evening resonated with the stories and spirit of the women behind Thumri, Dadra and Ghazal. Avanti Patel’s O Gaanewali was a breathtaking tribute to the women of Hindustani classical music. #KolkataLitMeet #Kalam2025 #LitMeet

Dropped in @itsgottobeLIT to see a special addition with a 🇬🇧 connect in former Governor @GO_ASHT, @lisahonan07. It is also (embarrassingly 🙈) my first visit to the Horticultural Gardens - I'll be back to explore these beautiful gardens soon.

The East India Company was the most powerful corporation of all time. It had an army larger than Great Britain's, and its influence shaped the borders of continents. So how did a company become stronger than most countries?🧵

Lifting the lid on the life of Jonathan, the world's oldest land animal, who is living out his days on St Helena and was in my front garden. https://t.co/fuSDTXfNmP

I shared my time on St Helena with the world's oldest land animal. At 192 years old he defies the concept of old age....in more respects than one.

In the US, migration will bring growth, jobs, taxes etc. But the areas where migrants initially settle bear the brunt of providing services. The former will outweigh the latter, but, as in the UK, the narrative will be one-sided. @m_clem

Immigrants become consumers, workers and contributors to the U.S. economy. But in some places, an influx can stress budgets and infrastructure.

Packed with catechins like EGCG, green tea is known for reducing inflammation and promoting healthy digestion. @laurenmanaker told @EatingWell, its antioxidants can soothe the digestive tract and relieve gas buildup, helping to reduce bloating. https://t.co/zMyWGb3nr5

British ships did capture slaving ships along the West African coast. Other European nations also enforced the blockade but many ships got through to deliver hundreds of thousands of captives to Brazil especially. Once transferred to British ships, captives were not liberated.
