Apart from expressing gratitude for what you have in your life and spending quality time with family, the thing that I love most about Sikh festivals is the food you cook and most importantly eat! :-) #vaisakhi #punjabifood

Happy Vaisakhi (Sikh New Year) to everyone! Vaisakhi is supposed to be a time of rebirth and so I hope it is for all of you 🙂 #vaisakhi #rebirth

(3/3)…I strongly encourage people to watch it if they can. #defiance

(2/3)…It was quite confronting to watch and I became emotional to be honest. But it is so important I think to know what earlier generations of my people had to go through when they arrived in 🇬🇧. And it is a reminder that bigotry, fascism, and racism should always be opposed…

(1/3) I started watching this documentary yesterday after my oldest best friend recommended it to me and I’m so glad that I did. It partly looks at events in my own hometown in the late 1970s and early 1980s…

It turns out that they actually have two hardcopies of it: one in their main library as well as one in their Law Library, together with a copy of my first monograph and the first edition of my sole-edited book :-)

(1/2) I don’t normally share any photos of my fur babies on public platforms, but with the 🌍 being in such a depressing state currently, I thought I would make the exception with this 🥰 photo of the boys snuggling in the shape of a ♥️ :-) I thought it might bring a 😊 to some…

(1/2) I recently attended a Scholarship Recipients’ Reception at Uni of Reading for two scholarships that I was awarded for my LLM International Law :-) Being a mature student the scholarships really made a difference in me deciding to do my degree and so I am really grateful…

(2/2)…teach, especially at the current time. And practically it was also challenging with studying for my LLM International Law and doing my other academic work at the same time! But I managed it 🙂 #teaching #feelinggrateful #workinghard #academia #HigherEd #twitterstorians
