What happens when a curious Indian meets a sceptical Dane? It could create a conundrum situation. While there are Indians who are really curious and Danes who are really sceptical, it is not a good idea to generalise – not every Indian is curious and not every Dane is sceptical, of course. However, it is…
There’s always the sun. Although it feels like years since it’s been here. Two to be exact. Perhaps I’m squinting back at May 2016, my first month in Copenhagen, through rose-tinted sunglasses, but my vision is filled with blue skies and sunshine. From dawn till dusk they shone upon the long, naked limbs of the…
When it’s still snowing outside your window in early April, it’s hard to get your mind into spring fashion mode. The only thing that says spring in such weather are all the different magazine covers trying to convince us that we do want to wear pastel colours with our pale skin. Pastiche of 90s pastels…

Of the countless people I have met since moving from the UK to Copenhagen, perhaps a dozen could tell you something about me that you won’t have learned by the end of this paragraph. Ask even these enlightened few to do so and, as with the countless many, the most common nouns to come out…
TOP PICK: Without any football, the British media have been missing a momentous event to unite the country in grief. Until now.

Thanks to Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, Diana:…
For an outdoor concert rapper Noname received perhaps the worst opener an artist could wish for: a 14-hour downpour. Hard landing in Denmark Roskilde Festival 2017, previously unscathed by the elements, fell victim to Denmark’s merciless meteorology late on Wednesday evening when a rainstorm descended upon the festival grounds. Come Thursday morning, cloud-filtered sunlight revealed…
So, what film will be on everyone’s lips heading into December? That’s easy: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (out on December 14), but you’ll have to wait for our next issue to find out more. Ahead of that, three films will be puckering up on the billboards from December 1, and judging by most…
Apart from a couple of times in my early teens, I have never sunbathed in my life. Inherently pointless It’s not because I disapprove, it’s just inherently pointless. I am a born redhead; my skin is pale blue with pink tendencies – tendencies that become rampant when combined with sun. In other words, after a…
