Muslims across the world break their fast in a similar way — gathered with friends and family, beginning with something sweet, traditionally three dates and a drink, before sharing a celebratory meal.

As with all diasporas, the differences that make our world the endlessly fascinating, multi-hued tapestry it is lie in the finer details — for example, culinary traditions shaped by the land in which communities have evolved.

I chose to recreate a vegetarian Indian iftaar meal for this fundraiser because the citizens of the country I grew up in are unable to openly show their solidarity with the Palestinian people today. This meal is offered in the spirit of remembrance, compassion, and shared humanity.

The Israeli government’s decision to deregister over 35 NGOs will make the already unbearable situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories unimaginably worse.

It was the oddest feeling when a friend said this to me recently. (Being Indian, I’ve never worried about coming across as prejudiced before 🙈 yes I know how that sounds.)

I was so taken aback I can’t remember my reply- I’d like it to have been along the lines of-

I understand why you’d worry about that, and I appreciate you raising it kindly.

Antisemitism is hatred or prejudice against Jewish people, and it is a real, serious, and growing threat that must always be challenged.

At the same time, the term is too often misused to silence humanitarian concern.

Supporting Palestinian people — who are themselves Semitic — comes from compassion, which is the furthest thing from hatred I can imagine.

We cannot allow fear of public perception to prevent us from doing the right thing

May 2026 bring change for the better for everyone 🙏🏾

My family kept Palestine at the heart of our celebrations this year.

In india we decorated the house and made Christmas sweets together for the first time in years.

In the last couple weeks I’ve celebrated this festive season with with the other half of my family and friends here in the UK.

It is a privilege to have this when so many in the world don’t.

I’ll be cooking for Palestine again on the 17th of January 2026.

Today was a good day – a perfect day. I felt suspended, safe and warm, wrapped in a cocoon woven from family and friendships, both near and far.

You know who you are, and I hope you truly know how grateful I am for each of you.

You are the reason I am who I am, and the reason I will always try to do my part for a better world. Because the relationships we share – the kind that also exist in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, Ukraine – are worth more than all the gold in the universe.

1. Trio of birthday cakes from family and friends (is there any wonder I feel so special today?)
2. The best gift ever of a family recipe, thanks auntie A, I’ve hidden it because I don’t have your permission to share it.
3. Closeup of Trixie topper by . You captured her darling little soul PERFECTLY. Thank you!

Scarlet Waxcap (Hygrocybe coccinea) — a beautiful and important indicator species of healthy, ancient grassland and my most exciting final find to date!

5000 years ago when Carreg Samson (pictured) was erected, the first urban centres began to appear in Palestine. They built structures in stone that survive to this day too.

Today, Palestinians released from horrific detainment are not allowed to welcome their loved ones home with a celebration. Many are discovering that they have no one left.

Remember this.

The ceasefire is not the end.

Remember .movement. Stand witness. Talk about Palestine. It’s a GENOCIDE not a famine.

Waiting with the rest of the world for the promised ceasefire, the anxiety got too much and so we went to the beach.

I walked along writing names in the sand until my back and my wrists were sore.

Do what helps, even if it feels a little nuts (like writing messages in the sand for people who will never see them- NOT setting the house on fire)

This is not the end. Hope and keep the faith🙏🏾

I was horrified to hear about the attack at Heaton Park synagogue last week. No family should have to suffer the loss of a loved one in such a manner.

I am also bracing for the backlash. And feeling a little lost. If anyone has advice on how to navigate these frankly demented times, please🙏🏽
