Maya Angelou's "A Brave and Startling Truth" has been on my mind as we mark the end of the Year-That-Was and the start of a new one. Here's hoping that 2024 reminds us all of our humanity. youtu.be/UjEfq7wLm7M?si=O-ld…

I feel very lucky to have received a little preview of @rentravailer’s sparkling new book, #CourtingIndia. Meticulously researched and full of lively descriptions of early modern London, Surat & Ajmer, all while beautifully reflecting on how memories shape our view of the world.
