Why do we shame our bodies or those of others? Round, pear, square, thin, fat, tall, short—whatever the shape or size, we can make the best of what we have by keeping it healthy and fit. I write about discovering this in Japan. #femalegaze sundayguardianlive.com/featured/self-…

Shocked & bugged to see shoes in the same trays as our handbags, etc, at Hyderabad airport, carrying the muck from loos and streets! Unhygienic RGIA Hyderabad you have to keep separate trays for shoes.

An outsider's eyes cast a different perspective on what we miss. I found this out while viewing India through the lens of American Stephen Huyler, who's been visiting and documenting India for half a century. I write about this in the #femalegaze today. sundayguardianlive.com/featured/an-am….
