Vogue India: Razzle Dazzle
It’s all about the bling in my October Vogue India story. The magazine’s fifth anniversary issue has five—count ‘em, five!—glam covers featuring Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, and Deepika Padukone, and inside I interview the likes of Naeem Khan, Prabal Gurung, and Azeeza Desai Khan of Atelier Azza for a story on decorative embellishments sparkling on the runways. Don’t miss this issue!

Vogue India: August and September
Hi folks – sorry for the delay, but now that means I have not one but two Vogue covers to post.
In the August issue, I wrote a profile of gorgeous chef Aliya LeeKong of NYC’s Michelin-starred (and super scrumptious) Indian restaurant Junoon.
And for September, I was lucky enough to spend a lazy afternoon at designer Rachel Roy‘s stunning rooftop terrace as she entertained some of her closest friends during a lovely lunch.
Check them both out, and tell me what you think!

My “Call Me Maybe” Video Hits HuffPo, Perez Hilton
…So this is crazy.
A fun video my friend Asma Sethi and I made during the festivities at Sana Ahmed and Mohsin Memon’s big fat Indian-Pakistani Muslim wedding in St Louis a few weeks ago… has gone viral!
In just a few days, it’s been picked up by Divanee Weddings, Huffington Post, and the king (or queen?) of all celebrity bloggers, Perez Hilton!
We had cameos by all of our friends who flew in from New York, the groom’s parents, the imam, a baby, and many others. See if you can spot me! (hint: sometimes my hair is curly, sometimes it’s straight)

NYT: A Conversation with Author Azad Essa
When I was in South Africa two months ago, the locals I was hanging out with told me I should read a book by their friend, Azad Essa. Essa is Al-Jazeera journalist whose book Zuma’s Bastard, a hit in South Africa last year, was updated and released by HarperCollins India in April as The Moslems Are Coming. I came back to New York and made quite a spectacle out of myself, bursting out into fits of maniacal giggles while reading it on the subway, in parks, and at countless other very public places. This provocative, witty book is definitely my pick for summer must-read – check out my Q&A with Essa to learn more.
