I witnessed the solar eclipse in its totality by an abandoned train station in Spain. I noticed a bright red spot on left side of the sun. The coolest thing ever. The pic is a few mins before totality

A few years ago I visited the Bhitarkanika reserve in Odissa which is India’s second largest mangrove and also a crocodile reserve. Fascinating ecosystem, it was special seeing the roots grow upwards. Huge kudos to the local community there

Roller derby game this Saturday at 5pm. Watch us play. #lisbon #rollerderby I play as a blocker and sometimes as a jammer. If there was an award for worst falls, I would win it.

Farha is a moving story of a young girl who is stuck/hidden in her house during the ‘48 Nakba. I went in prepared that I would be bawling at some point during the movie. I got to watch it at Casa Palestina - a beautiful new cultural centre in #Lisbon #filmsky

Stunning Guo Pei dress heavily drawn from Chinese porcelain, I was particularly fond of the bust that looks like 4 different pieces of chinaware are placed to each other

They had 4 baby incubators from 1903, designed by Alexander Lion from France. Between 1903 and 1950, they helped 12000 babies and families- ensuring adequate nutrition for both babies and mothers who couldn’t breastfeed due to various reasons. They had a farm with 30 cows at their peak

Museu Do Lactário is a legit hidden gem of a museum in Lisbon. Walking in, I assumed it was about a milk cooperative, instead it turned out to be about arguably the first social institution in Portugal providing neo natal care for young mothers and babies. #museumSky #Lisbon

Solved it! The fact that the scenes were slightly different from its reference made it more challenging and made you pay more attention to details.

Just opened up a jigsaw puzzle where the reference picture is slightly different from the original puzzle. There are some cool individual pieces - a bone, a knife, a key. A jigsaw puzzle and Spot the difference in one! #puzzleSky

My first Satyajit Ray watch! We don’t slice of life movies these days and the movie scratched that itch. The relationship between son and mother, a young boy breaking from the familial profession and finding his feet is all so relatable, with the exception of using a sundial for time. #filmSky
Poster of the movie, Aparajito. Directed by Satyajit Ray. It is black and white poster of an older teenage boy,l wearing a long kurta and lungi, carrying a suitcase in one hand, and a bundle of belongings under his other arm

I watched yet another fantastic film as part of the month’s theme “movie within a movie”. Sherlock Jr. is a silent movie (44mjns) about a goofy guy who is studying *hard* to be a detective while working as a movie operator. Excellent film sequences and physical comedy. 🍿 YouTube #filmsky

For a few months now, we solve a jigsaw puzzle every month with friends. Today it is Dowdle’s Washington D.C. #puzzlesky

This entire month my local theatre is playing “movie within a movie” - an excellent theme I must admit. I got to watch Masculin Feminin, a classic Jean Luc-Godard (my first!). It was intelligent, funny and at times very slice of life at times. #filmsky
