Issue XVI, May

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.

Stories for the heart and soul

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.

Watch this gripping story

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.

Explore the exibit

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.
