A reminder from Facebook how busy we were during my Gareth Wynn Owen days 5 years ago.

Welcomed Jayanta Roy (second from right), an alumni of Cardiff University & now MD of The Peerless General Finance & Investment Co. Ltd. He was joined by three members of his team. We discussed #Infra , #Healthcare , #Skilling & #Hospitality .

A very useful discussion with my Trade team.

Joined 🇬🇧 High Commissioner Designate Lindy Cameron for her first - and wide-ranging - call on 🇮🇳 Foreign Secretary Kwatra this afternoon.

Our photography contest for #WorldEnvironmentDay is live.

Submission deadline is 5th May for receiving entries.

A few more images from last nigh, one members of Mohun Bagan will long remember. But I also want to give a shout out to my friend Raj Athwal & all the Odisha FC team, staff & fans who have had a teriffic season in their own right - 200 followed them from Bhubaneswar last night.

সল্টলেক স্টেডিয়ামে অবিশ্বাস্য পরিবেশ। মোহনবাগান এবং ওড়িশা এফসির মধ্যে আশ্চর্যজনক খেলা।

ফাইনালে যাওয়ার জন্য মোহনবাগানকে অভিনন্দন |

Where in the City of Joy am I right now?

There is a big ⚽️ down by the river.

There is also a big ⚽️ match kicking off in The City of Joy in just under 3 hours.

Two teams from my jurisdiction have it all to play for - I have made good friends from both visitors Odisha FC & hosts Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

What predictions?

I'm about to sip a mocktail called Top of the Mountain.

Any ideas what cuisine this is paired with?

For a boy who watched Sutton United FC ad hoc in the The Pitching In Isthmian League since 79/80 season what has been achieved is remarkable - all at the club can hold their heads up and be proud, immensely proud!

Actually the best mangos in Kolkata are yet to be at their prime so we opted for a green papaya salad today in the City of Joy with a little salmon and other occompiants.

It was my pleasure to have joined you today to share a few insights of the Inclusive Education theme and explain both why it matters to me personally, India economically & how I hope 🇬🇧 institutions and companies can help. Reach out to Habib Raihan if you want to discuss more.

Enjoy our 'Road to Monaco' short film!
What a fabulous experience we all had.
