The party secrets.

The women were dressed in subdued but elegant saris. The men, too, looked dignified. There were many famous faces.
One evening The Delhi Walla attended the memorial meeting of Retired Justice Leila Seth at the Multipurpose Hall in India International Center The evening’s most important people were members of Ms Seth’s immediate family– husband Prem, sons Vikram and Shantum, daughter Aradhna, daughter-in-law, Gitanjali, and grand-daughters Nandini and Anamikamaitri.
Even so, I declare the occasion was extremely puzzling. Apparently, Ms Seth passed away in her 80s a few weeks ago. But I spotted her more than once in the gathering–there she was, and there, and there, as always. You don’t believe me? See below.
