This year on 10/10/10 everyone is a Mumbaikar at heart and together we celebrate that great city by the sea which has shown a lot of courage and resilience under attack. Children’s Hope India presents An Evening in Mumbai Gala
As spring turns into fall, we should be seeing a lot of excitement and action in the fashion arena. Will more and more Americans be seduced by Indian fashion through travel to India, through cinema, and through Indian-American friends in an ever increasing Asian population?
Will American designers continue to find inspiration in India’s myriad delights of color, crafts and couture? Will Indian designers make it big in America? Will new mega-fashion stores dedicated to India ring up the sweet music of cash registers?
Can you take a taxi or drive a car from the US to Rajasthan? Over 500 people did that when they came to the Grand Hyatt Hotel near Grand Central for the much anticipated Children’s Hope Gala, An Evening in Rajasthan. This was a social event with buzz and did not disappoint with the crème de la crème dressed in their royal best. The women guests were greeted with flowers, bindis and bangles, and the men were welcomed with bandhini scarves being put around their necks.
