>> Saturday night saw us at a small dinner at the Oberoi where some of the city’s leading lights had gathered for some exquisite vegetarian food and high-powered schmoozing. A relaxed Mukesh and Nita Ambani were the centre of attraction as they circulated around the room talking to friends. Nita looking slim and international in slacks and an emerald green tunic spoke about her recent attendance at the Olympic opening ceremony in London. “I have been present at the last three opening ceremonies,” she said, “And whereas Beijing was very impressive for its grand spectacle, the one in London was full of the subtle sophisticated British humour that Mukesh and I so appreciate.” There’s a lot on Nita’s plate. Not only has she begun attending board meetings of the Oberoi hotel group, but her forays into education and healthcare are also taking fruit with some big-ticket announcements to be made soon. Besides all this there are the lady’s demanding social commitments.
