Meeting Dr. Farooq Abdullah...

... whom is the former (and apparently upcoming?) Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir. As I said below, this weekend was nuts... Ali and I were both sick, and spent the majority of Saturday sleeping it off. We got a call on Saturday night at about 9:00pm from Winnie Singh, informing us that their driver would be picking us up in 5 minutes becuase there was someone we just *had* to meet.

I didn't immediately appreciate the stature of this person, though the guards with oozies surrounding The General/Winnie's apt building (and apartment itself) started to clue me in. I learned more about him and am so glad that we got the opportunity to meet him.... what a guy. Apparently the reason his security detail is as such is b/c he's such a huge terrorist target. Being that he's the chief minister of Kashmir, this makes sense, but according to Lt. General Singh this is the type of the man that "lives for the day"...

So here are the pictures... Ali looks like a champ, even though he was REALLY sick (I was sick, but not THAT bad....).... funny thing is is that I really don't look like myself in these pics! It was my 5-minute attempt to make it appear as if I hadn't been sick in bed all day. ;-)












Yay! :)
