I think, my heart skips a beat, each time I spot a #postbox. Some stand neglected due to disuse, some ignored, some recently re-painted in the distinctive red-black. I'll be posting my finds with #SurvivingPostboxesOfIndia. (Hat-tip to @SloganMurugan for the hashtag 😊)

While the @iamsrk frenzy has gripped the whole country, we are hung up on a strange connection between the superstar and a group of people who helped shape the world of art for modern India. It included a man who had escaped Nazi-occupied Austria. Here's the story. 1/22

Dear Fellow Humans, Please write letters. Cast them far and wide to friends, family, or famous folk if you like. Some will reply and I promise they will completely brighten your day (as will the writing of them). Yours in letter writing, Dinah ☺️✉️☀️

Sounds like the perfect activity to take up in the new year ✨

Keep a story log You have story-worthy moments every day but forget almost all of them. Simple fix: • Create a two column spreadsheet (date and story) • Before bed, take two minutes to write the best story from that day You’ll start seeing stories everywhere.



Cobalt, Prussian and Ultramarine. And that's what Ultramarine blue is???!!!🤯

Since Italian traders brought lapis lazuli from so far away, the pigment it created became known as "ultramarinus". In Latin that means "from over the sea". Ultramarine was a deep and brilliant shade of blue, prized for its beauty and rarity.

From the murals of Ajanta to the Renaissance frescoes lapis lazuli mined in Afghanistan contributed to the distinctive blues in art!!

The use of blue for Mary's clothes soon became a central part of artistic and religious tradition. In the Renaissance artists would use lapis lazuli - which came from mines in Afghanistan and was more expensive than gold - to create the paint for her robes.

If Covid has taught us anything, one person’s problem is everybody’s problem. So if you see someone going through this alone, be with them. Even if you don’t know them.

🎉Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday! When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we'd just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!
