It was a strange place to learn about the power of fashion ... in the villages of Rajasthan. Passing through Rajasthan I was accosted many a time by women who wanted my clothes. One of them even came up to me and asked me for the Calvin Klein vest that I was wearing and another wanted my Esprit fur jacket. Now before any one starts to commisserate with the poverty in India I must make it clear that these women did not want money .... they were just interested in the clothes I was wearing. That is when I realized that women have an uncanny sense for fashion and that they can spot brands even without realizing. The woman who is in this picture insisted on taking the vest I was wearing and even offered to pay for it ... hence, the uncomfortable smile on my face... I was hoping that she would not get too persistent.
