It is a quarter to midnight and the Balushi from Karachi is kick-starting the pre-wedding party, sashaying across the compound where the groom’s family is gathering, changing out of dishdashas into shiny kurtas and flip-flops with massive pompoms, while women suck on water pipes in the corner and throw money over the courtyard.

    Thanks, Karma, knew you’d love him. I think he had blue eyes (but the colours were haywire that night) and he opened them wide in mock ecstasy when I showed him his photo, and gasped.

    Wish I was attending that wedding, too, though through YOU one gets all there is to see, usually. How interesting. Soon we won’t be interested in what our own eyes see but mostly in what Pinaki has seen through his lens and has written about. Hmmmmm…..
