Editorial: Jai
Ho! Asian
girlpower celebrated |
"I'll
tell you what I want, what I really
really want,
So tell me what you want, what you
really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ha."
(Spice
Girls, Wannabe Lyrics)
 Yeah,
I know, crap lyrics but great Spice
Girls style! And last night, Asian
(Spice) Girlpower took some beating
at the Asian Women of Achievement
(AWA) Awards 2009 - all my pics from
the event can be found via links below.
Not even Prince Charles' Global Empowerment
Award could dim the sheer luminescence
of the AWA winners. Joanna Lumley,
that other gorgeous Honorary Indian,
has won victory for the Gurkhas with
the British Government's dramatic
U-turn on Gurkha settlement rights.
And
let's not forget Sonia Gandhi's steady
hand behind the Congress-led United
Progressive Alliance that grasped
victory in the Indian elections. Jai
Ho indeed!
