I feel MMS wears a blue turban cos the other major colors like red, orange (yikes NEVER), green etc are too political.

Btw, did anyone notice Sanjay Gupta’s white tie against his white shirt? Katie Couric’s (fabolous) dress seemed to have leftover fabric to make the bow tie on her partner. Bobby and Supriya Jindal wore identical black satin-y cummerbunds. I feel very sorry for Mrs. Gupta. Someone should have guided her wrt the choice and draping of the sari.

Just my 2 cents

"Has anyone else noticed that the perpetual frown that made her susceptible to the "angry black woman" charge from the paranoid KKK teaparty crowd has disappeared?"

The frown may have disappeared but they'll never let go of that charge.

with regards to Dr. Singh and his better half lking gnome-like, not only are they septagenarians, but Dr. Singh is post- cardiac bypass (two of them to boot!). I think they make a lovely couple.

i thought thomas friedman looked great in the nehru jacket, though he may have been trying to be ironic. he’s underestimated as a funny guy. liz hurly raised some eyebrows with the leather sari, though not as many as were raised by sunny leone coming solo, though that perked the interest of many a guest. too bad bill clinton couldn’t make it.

The Obamas, the Fentys and the Shyamalans looked the best by far. They looked fit and fresh, young and glamorous. Beautiful, intelligent and accomplished couples. The Obama’s are in their mid-40s while the Fentys and Shyamalans are around 40. They look younger. Michelle Obama really looks like a top model in that indian-designed gown.

Has anyone else noticed that the perpetual frown that made her susceptible to the “angry black woman” charge from the paranoid KKK teaparty crowd has disappeared? Must be the magic of botox

I just saw Sanjay Gupta’s wife and all I got to say her outfit looks horrible the pink clashes with her pale white skin she just doesn’t look good.

Manmohan wears the powder blue turban, as it is India’s official color for heraldry etc. Powder blue, navy and yellow are the colors used by the government extensively.

Anyone noticed Indra Nooyi in any of the photos published ? I spotted her briefly on television. She was wearing what looked like a vermilion coloured evening gown which seemed to engulf her petit structure completely. A sari would have definitely been a better choice.

I'm a "coconut" as I'm sure most of the ABCDs (American Born Confused Desis) on Sepia Mutiny...

Speak for yourself, please. After five years of meetups and other events where I have had the opportunity to meet our readers, I could compile quite a list of adjectives to describe their measure; "confused" would never be one of them. Do I call myself a coconut at times, when I ponder my preference for argyle, my proclivity to wear pearls daily, my plethora of monogrammed shit and my precious Georgetown address? No doubt. But I'm not confused about a damned thing.

Also, an important note for those who may be unaware: we don't use the term FOB nor do we care for "ABCD". Both are disrespectful, inaccurate and lazy. Try DBD (desh-born Desi) and ABD (American-born Desi), please. Oh yes, and it's Miss Jackson if you're nasty.
