All Welcome
All Welcome
May has us buzzing. The scent of the fresh, juicy Alphonso mangoes, two long weekends, cultural exhibitions, new documentaries – there’s a lot to soak in.
We’re spending our evenings:—
Reading a transformative anthology of life-lessons and poems by Sunday Times bestseller, Hussain Manawer, I Wanted to Quit Too – coming 23rd May. Between its pages lies heart-to-heart conversations with global icons like Courteney Cox and KSI to Manawer's own soul-stirring poetry. Inspiring. Heartfelt. Bound to be dog-eared. Find renewed hope and purpose.
We’re totally hooked on:—
A gutsy, David and Goliath story of a father standing up to a whole village to get justice for his 13-year-old daughter. To Kill a Tiger is all about hope, resilience and a father’s unconditional love. It's incredibly emotional, worth every minute.
We're soaking up knowledge about:—
An important British history lesson – the forgotten tale of Indian soldiers in World War 1 as an exhibit at the Hampton Court Palace. The Indian Army at the Palace brings their stories to life like never before through displays of objects, photographs, film and personal stories. See the past in a whole new light.
We’re all eyes on:—
Defiance: Fighting the Far Right – a gruelling documentary exploring how immigrant Asians took on racism and fascism in the ‘70s. It’s got original footage with interviews of those involved. Tune into Channel 4 for some heavy, but essential history. Tears might roll.
The July issue of Dishoom Loves is already here (and perky, for your eyes). Fill your mind with some of the best South Asian talent, from a 17-year-old playwright sharing her life story, to a beauty expert’s top tips and tricks. And, a doctor who writes about henna.
Arched into the cobbled lane of Trinity Street, behind a mustard yellow door, an all-day bar-café cuts loose. Not to be confused with the buzzy bars in Dishoom cafés, this Permit Room is entirely other – a tribute to the way Bombay kicks back and cuts loose – a salute to the city’s permit rooms, beer bars and drinking holes.
June brings the promise of sun-drenched days – or monsoons – balmy nights and a smattering of first-class cultural happenings.
People, community and planet.
