And indeed being a woman that evening was a pleasure. Reason? Not just for the lovely rose that they were greeted with the moment they walked in, but also because all spirits — both alco- holic and non-alcoholic — ordered by ladies were on the house! That is why perhaps, it were the mem- bers of the fair sex who were the first to hit the floor this time — in groups of four or five. Amongst those seen that evening

Anny Koldunova were the lovely Femina Miss Asia Pa- cific 2002 Tina Chatwal and Femina Miss India finalist Sunaina Tandon. Also seen enjoying themselves were Priya Thappar, models Simran Sethi and Vibha and, of course, the brain behind the show — director Bristol, Simrit Kakar. Adding their bit of sugar and spice to the evening were the five lovely Simran, Neha Srivastava and Anjali Pandya young ladies — dressed up as Marilyn Monroe! With a tantalising variety of ke- babs and tandoori chicken doing the rounds, some great music courtesy the man on the console, DJ Golz, and two ladies from the band Golden Rays do- ing their act, the evening turned out to be a memo- rable one. And in between all this were discussions on the latest in vogue in both clothes and hairstyles, and yes, even on the grooviest guy on the scene....
