several years ago i spent a few months in india doing tsunami relief work and traveling. i didn't realize i'd been bitten by the india bug until i moved back to my comfortable, yet predictable life in new york. it didn't take long for me to relocate to india full-time to try to make a life. now, after three years in mumbai, i split my time between america's east coast and india's west coast. the difference between life here and life there is that everything in india begs to be written about.

Spectacular! Spectacular!
India Couture Week, Bombay's version of New York Fashion Week, was two weeks ago. A friend who is a radio DJ received free tickets, and was nice enough to donate them to her needy friends. So, two of us went to see Rohit Bal's designs walk down the runway. Bal, an freckly Indian gentleman, who seems to have a desire to bring back gold lamay and jodhpur pants (in black satin), presented his latest creations on twenty or so beautiful Indian models. But first there were giant floating lotus flowers and dancing men in white gowns and what looked like red toques. Quite the spectacle.
