Vanity, No Fair

by 4 Comments

Back on August 14, I wrote that I was on assignment for India Today.

“It is likely to be another cover image but I am not terribly sure till I actually see it. The journalism business is sure fickle and things can change at the drop of a hat. I can't say much more about who or where I was as things are still under wraps. But it was a thrill nonetheless. I'll reveal all in a few days.”

Well, chalk one up for gut feeling. I was expecting the image you see below to appear on the cover of India Today's international edition, but that was not to be the case. Technical snafus, lack of storage space, differences in time between here and India were all contributing factors. The folks in Delhi decided to publish a production still on the cover. Sigh!

Thankfully, two images of I produced of Mira Nair managed to make it inside the magazine. So, when you get the chance check out the August 30, 2004 issue of India Today.

Nirali Launches

“Nirali , which means “different” in several South Asian languages, is just that—a different kind of magazine for today's modern South Asian American woman. Published monthly online, Nirali Magazine reflects the identity, needs and interests of South Asian American women all over the United States.”

I know what you are thinking – yet another magazine for the South Asian woman! But this one is very different. From the standpoint of design, it looks really slick. The folks at Nirali sure know a thing or two about presentation. The writing, too, is fresh and the topics are timely. I think you will fall in love with it for a great many reasons.
