A little smorgasbord on Monday.

From Pramknik.in

Sarees at Colombo Fashion Week 2009.

I know Shobha De was there and she had a hair raising experience.

Some of the models were screaming and a few had fainted. People were scrambling to get out, as the terrifying sound of gunfire continued outside. The Taj Samudra is next to the army base, and about a kilometre away from the President’s Palace. The air force base ( target) is right next door Initial reports said 4 or 5 Czech made planes flying really low, so as to escape radar detection, had flown in from the sea. Two were shot down – the others were likely to fly back!!
I am still in shock. This is the best I can do right now. Not sure when we can get home. We were to fly out at midnight tonight on an Air Sri Lanka flight. Not the best plan. More when I can…

Unfortunate when the fashion week is remembered more for the low flying air planes and gun fire then (camera) shooting on the ramp.
