Sumant Jaykrishnan and Manish Arora

There are some people who manage to look aesthetically arresting in every photograph, almost as if they were pieces of art themselves. None as much as our friend, the leading wedding decorator and aesthete, the Delhi-based Sumant Jaykrishnan. Currently in Australia to collaborate on MELA, a festival curated for Swarovski by uber designer Manish Arora, this portrait of the two attractive poseurs posted on social media brought forth an avalanche of likes. But, what was most striking were the references to the Sound of Music. Almost everybody made some reference to the iconic film in their comments. From 'Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo, High on a hill were some lonely goat herds...' to, 'the hills r alive with the sound of music…(sic)' The thumbs ups came in thick and fast, proving just how profoundly the film on a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938, who brought love and music as a governess to a retired naval officer, and his seven children, had affected baby boomers!
