SAY IT AGAIN

Words have impact. We’ve seen that in Christchurch. Hate speech perpetuates, and it has consequences. As a society we need to be cognisant of the impact of the words we are putting out there.

Shouldn't the Commonwealth intervene and take over the administration of the United Kingdom because its political leadership has shown itself to be so utterly incapable of self-governance? A spell of colonial rule would do no harm, I think.

Hotel Mumbai

In March we gave away 5 x double entry tickets for the Dev Patel starrer Hotel Mumbai. To enter into the lucky drow to win, readers had to answer the question: In which year was Mumbai’s iconic Taj Palace hotel built? Almost all of our 144 replies got the answer right: 1903. But some responses came with some extra information.

Anu Shivaram wrote: Opened in Dec 1903. It became a symbol of India's national pride during the British Raj.

Charmi Kapadia Shah wrote: Jamsetji Tata decided to build the hotel after he was refused entry to one of the city's grand hotels of the time, Watson's Hotel, as it was restricted to "whites only". The hotel opened for business in 1903.

Vishal Gupta wrote: Its foundation was laid in 1898, and it finally opened in 1903.

Dina Shah wrote: 16 December 1903. Our prayers are with all those who were affected by all the tragedies to date. Let there be peace on earth.

Keyuri Thakkar Patel wrote: 1903. Can't believe it's 116 years old! It’s one of the most stylish hotels we have been to.

Raghwa Sharma wrote: 1903. We were at the Taj a week before the terrorist attack. We all need to watch the movie to understand the gruesome inhumanity.

Adam Brook wrote: 1903, and looks just as amazing today!

Dipanjali Rao wrote: Should we be giving out tickets to this considering New Zealand has withdrawn the movie from its cinemas?

Readers Samay Jain, Tripti Shukla, Raghavendra, Parth Monga and Bina Trivedi were announced as the winners in our lucky draw.
