🧵 I’m really grateful to have received some complimentary copies of the new paperback edition of my sole-edited book 🙂 It involved the most work out of all four edited books that I’ve published so far. But I was really proud of the results! The second edition of the book was even better than the…

It’s started to become something of a tradition for me to share photos of the food that I cook for the two major Sikh Festivals: Vaisakhi and Diwali :-) Here’s what I cooked for Diwali today :-) #Diwali #PunjabiFood

On this Diwali (the Hindu and Sikh Festival of Lights) in a 🌍 full of so much darkness it is more important than ever to shine a light. Diwali for Hindus and Sikhs celebrates the victory of good over evil and justice and freedom overcoming tyranny and oppression respectively. #Diwali

I really enjoyed attending an event on ‘Black Musical Cultures Beyond Borders’ as a part of Black History Month in the Department of History at the University of Reading this afternoon 🙂

Not a bad collection if I do say so myself! A lot of hard work and effort has gone into every one of those books 🙂 #workinghard #feelingproud #academia #highereducation #publishing #academicsky #skystorians

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

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 people’s faces :-)

I’m enjoying teaching regularly again after some time :-) The thing that I most appreciate is hearing what students think about a particular subject :-) #teaching #academia #highered #skystorians

I’ve been asked to teach a course on ‘Orientalism: Western Imaginaries of the Middle East’ in the History Department at Reading Uni, where I am a Visiting Research Fellow this term 🙂 The course is not in my immediate area of expertise, but will see me going back to the start of my academic career 🙂

Updating my bio is always an opportunity to take stock of what I’ve achieved in my career so far and all the hard work, determination, and effort that has gone into all of those achievements 🙂 Here’s hoping that 2024 sees me being able to further my academic career 🙂 #TakingStock #feelingproud
