Congrats to the England women cricket team for a second straight World Cup victory in Assam over Bangladesh building on the success against South Africa on Friday.

Best of luck as you move to Colombo.

Hope to see you back in Guwahati for a possible semi final.

My Durga Puja highlights of 2025

There is a reason Kolkata is known as The City of Joy

If you’ve also celebrated this year of previously please share your highlights of what is surely one of the most underrated celebrations on the planet beyond those who know 😉

Durga Puja beyond Kolkata - I took the opportunity to see the rural side with a Bengal based travel agency who are opening in UK - the first from Bengal to do so. Hoping they will spearhead efforts to market this remarkable celebration.

Colour, Culture & a little bit of Chaos.

Gold Hill 🙊

It is Durga Puja time in Kolkata

Whist always a religious festival first and foremost the artistic creativity of the pandals also make this probably the best street art festival in the world.

So why not more international visitors?

East Bengal’s Torch Bearers set Kolkata on fire with their record 41st Kolkata League Championship.

Met an old friend, strategised about many things and spoke of a former colleague, @henrytam.bsky.social - more than a decade ago for Amanda and double that for me.

Kolkata calls tomorrow - until next time London!

Done - but nothing needs doing, point is we have to take a flight 13 hours earlier and so I miss several plans for tomorrow and incur the expense involved of having to get to the airport early and fly to LHR rather than LGW 😥

And we have 3 different middle seats as a family of 3 - so not happy.

Done - feel free to chase me.

But currently annoyed as @britishairwaysteam.bsky.social cancelled my return flight and as I am due to scatter my late fathers ashes on Thursday we will have to take the early morning rather than late evening flight effectively costing a day of exploring 😟

That is tough - so many - let me ponder a little.

A hat trick of smiles because we are somewhere #Nice

One of the most iconic streets in England.

Who has also climbed Fold Hill in Shaftesbury?

In Croston on a Sunday morning lucky enough to catch this nostalga shot in this Lancashire village of 3,000.

Every sister should have tied a rakhi on her brother today.

This guy sure has a lot of sisters.

Thank You @andrew007uk.bsky.social for inviting Shuktara Cakes to the Monsoon Fair yesterday at British Deputy High Commission in Kolkata.
We appreciate your love and support.

A rainy morning in Kolkata - perfect for some live football.

Lighting strike

My current favourite door in Kolkata - finally traffic was conducive to jump out and snap it.

Always nice to have a welcome party when you land back from leave. Actually they’d come to welcome someone else but a few of them knew me too 😝

(Last night at Kolkata airport)

This is Lake Toba - one of the most underrated destinations in the 🌏

32 years ago I came to find these old wooden ships of Jakarta still in use across the Indonesian archipelago- today I returned with my son.

Nothing beats a good rooftop bar and this is a case in point.

Where might it be?

And all too soon it is time to say goodbye Halong until next time.

You had a wise father - I tell my family the same

I shall read in depth. Still find this astounding. Thanks.

I agree the differential rise for workers and senior managers has widened but not by these figures which I find hard to phathom. Please share your data source.

Family gathering for what occasion?
