So, I got royally knighted today. Woot!? Yes, I did. Adopted from Sri Lanka, knighted in the Netherlands. Who would've thought! The most important thing is that this award belongs to the whole community. Everything we do is teamwork. I'll write more after I recovered. #pwme

Congratulations! So pleased for you & so well deserved. Your films are pieces of art. You've managed to capture a reality that is rarely shown & inform the wider world of what this horrendous disease is. An unbelievable achievement for someone so unwell. Thankyou

Anil that's great news. You work so hard to raise awareness of this horrible condition. I recently saw your powerful work at the ISLC-PAIS meeting in Amsterdam. We absolutely have to get the ME/CFS art exhibition shown at the ISLC-PAIS meeting in front of the UK parliament!

Welverdiend Anil. Het was natuurlijk veel beter geweest als het én niet nodig was én je nooit ziek geworden was. Maar hulde voor je inzet en verve.

Anil, wat jij hebt gedaan én nog altijd onvermoeibaar doet om de impact van ME over te brengen, op een manier die mij trots maakt dat jij boegbeeld bent is onvervangbaar, essentieel, cruciaal. Jouw bijdrage is groter dan je denkt! Een lintje? Lintjesregen zou meer passend zijn ;)

Absolutely wonderful news, Anil, and so very well deserved. Thank you for all you have done to raise awareness, often, I’m sure, at great cost to your own health and baseline . A truly well deserved honour. 🙏
