 Bored of the USA It
was supposed to be "a celebration of American food, wine and
music" but besides the turkey and the hosts, the American ambassador
and his wife Jacqueline Lundquist, the Jack Daniel's-sponsored evening at
the ambassador's residence in Delhi, was surprisingly unAmerican. A
mournful pianist played the theme song of the Titanic (not exactly
celebration music) while a grim mix
of people stood near the bar. The hostess
kept up a steady stream of prattle while greeting the guests:
"Wow, nice outfit." and "How's your husband? He's a
journalist, right?" Wrong, the lady was single. Later Lundquist
busied herself with her son ... in full view of the cameras. However,
since even the most die-hard Delhi party animals gave the evening a miss,
the bored photographers were wondering what to click. "We plan to
sponsor more evenings like this," threatened Amrit Kiran Singh of
Brown and Foreman. Let's hope the next one's in America.
