Fashion Show in Lucknow - fabulous show

Amrita was sent an invitation to a fashion show by the Ministry of Textiles and some of us went along. It was really well done. Beautiful models, wonderful clothing and we had front row seats (thanks to Amrita's influence). The man from the ministry must have written his speech in a hurry. I have never known the word "beautiful" to be so generously used in a 5 minute speech...."beautiful venue" "beautiful event"...he went on and on. Amrita and I were finding it hard to control ourselves. After this "beautiful event"...and it truly was well done, we went out to a meal at a Lucknow Dhabba (like a roadside stand)...the food was great and much enjoyed by us.

However,little did we realize that our attendance at the fashion show would lead to our photos coming out in the Hidustan Times the next day. I mean the man with the "beautiful" speech missed out on having his photo and we made it. Nice souvenir to bring back from Lucknow.


Infront of the Bara Dari (the old palace of the Nawab...Mita, Rohina and myself...unfortunately, my battery in the camera was running low and we could only manage a few photos.










Notice that man in the glasses?



...Amrita and I had decided he should be considered a "letch"....he really had an odd way of checking out the models. Also,it looked like the entire male staff of the Govt. offices of Ministry of Textiles was there in large numbers....
