Attending the fashion week as buyers, they are owners of a boutique, Laki Noon (in Arabic, Laki means for you and noon is a term used for woman, Noura explains), in Kuwait.
&ldquo;Amongst the three of us, we are wearing 14 different designers,&rdquo; Noura proudly tells us. And these include talented Indian names such as Armaan and Aiman, and Ragini Ahuja.
Oakblue baby, I spot you A young environmentalist, working with a nature conservation organisation spotted an uncommon species of butterfly, known as The Large Oakblue in the premises of Bombay Natural History Society&rsquo;s Conservation Education Centre in Goregaon recently.

The species that is found during drier seasons in Thane and Yeoor was captured by Rushabh Shah, of SARRP (Spreading Awareness on Reptiles and Rehabilitation Programme). Isaac Kehimkar, author of &lsquo;The Book of Indian Butterflies&rsquo; said that while the butterfly isn&rsquo;t rare, it is also not found during this season in Mumbai.
&ldquo;Large Oakblues like moist and damp places, so they are not spotted outdoors in the rains. The best time to spot them is from February to April around Thane and Yeoor. So, this is an uncommon sighting, for sure,&rdquo; said Kehimkar.
Floral footbridge It&rsquo;s always nice to see a play of colour in the least expected spaces, let alone a foot overbridge. As Malayalis the world over celebrated Onam yesterday, this diarist was surprised to spot this floral decoration at Dombivli railway station.

However, we wonder how long this arrangement will stay undisturbed to the perils of the rush hour madness in a typical suburban railway station.
