You feel how special Glasgow Women's Library is every time you step into it. I love how it is owned and cherished by women living on the doorstep and further afield. My mother born in the East End. I brought the poet Saima Afreen visiting from India and she felt it too. @Sfreen

@BBCHindi यह भारत का स्वर्णयुग है! आप क्या बात कर रहे हैं!

कहासुनी: पीएम मोदी ने कहा, ''आर्थिक गतिविधियां हों या समाजिक. खेल हो या इंटरटेनमेंट जगत. सब तरफ सकारात्मक गतिविधियां तेज़ हो रही हैं.'' पीएम मोदी के बयान पर आपकी राय?

@FabindiaNews should hv consulted some Urdu knowing person.“Riwaaz” in not Urdu/Hindustani word. Correct word for Diwali is “Jashn-e-Charaghan”. BTW Urdu is very much Indian language and it has the treasure of all our cultural heritage and sanatan traditions. #BoycottFabIndia

As COP26 starts join Lesley Traynor and Katharine Macfarlane for a free online writing workshop on behalf of The Writers Federation (Scotland)@UofGWriting @FWritersS "Scotland's Environment: Write Where You Are" on Eventbrite! Date: Mon, Nov 1 • 19:00 GMT eventbrite.co.uk/e/scotlands-en…

I am so grateful and humbled to be a part of this. Thank you so much @LATraynor

@LATraynor Ah. I remember our conversation. I am really missing rotis now. Pita bread doesn't replace roti. This is a beautiful poem. Thank you 😊

Congratulations to Andy Jackson former Makar of the Federation of Writers Scotland in producing another stunning patchwork poem from members contributions. My line is 'the delicate pull and tug of tales' which comes from the poem Making roti over coals @Sfreen

अखिलेश यादव नजरबंद हैं, प्रियंका गांधी और दीपेन्द्र हुड्डा पुलिस हिरासत में हैं, एक राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री का हेलीकॉप्टर नहीं उतरने दिया जा रहा और राहुल गांधी को आने की अनुमति नहीं है। पर मनीष गुप्ता हों या किसान, उनकी हत्या का एक भी आरोपी पकड़ा नहीं गया है। यही रामराज्य है।

@saliltripathi @pen_int Heartiest congratulations, Salil

So pleased to be reading my writing as part of Lancaster University's post grad EDI online conference on Protectected Characteristic: Disability, Sex or Race. Fri 17th September 6pm to 8 pm. @Dreich25197318 @LancasterUni @UofGWriting @ByLeavesWeLive @UofGWriting @FWritersS

जस्टिस चंद्रचूड़ ने कहा कि सरकार का झूठ उजागर करें। उन्हें और माननीय अदालत को यह देखना चाहिए कि झूठ उजागर करने वालों को झूठे मामलों में फँसाया जाता है। झूठ के उजागर को जनता तक पहुँचाना आसान नहीं है। अब क्या जनता अपना काम छोड़ कर चौराहे और चौपाल पर प्राइम टाइम का प्रसारण करेगी ?

Beautiful copies of my new poetry chapbook arrived from Dreich this morning. Ridiculously proud. @Dreich25197318 @Sfreen @AlisonWhitelock @ByLeavesWeLive @liammurraybell @cybercrofter @performpoetRose @FWritersS @forum_writers @writeanglefv @WomenFierceWord @scotlit @MairibethM

Please, please 'interfere' to stop kar sevaks, mob lynchers, beef vigilantes, etc... That kind of interference is expected. The problem is you are not interfering in the right way.
