This
week my newsletters are like the No 7 bus....always travelling
around in threes!
As
I am now away for a summer break, why not take advantage of
'The Asian Advantage' panel discussion event at The British
Library, attend the BAFTA Goes Bollywood events, the Asian
Lifestyle Show, the Muslim Arts Festival 2006, the Croydon
Mela...or any one of the host of great events happening in
my absence. Drat!
