| I have a couple friends leaving to go to India for a couple weeks. I was wondering what kind of things one would request as souvenirs when asked? Anyone here from India or have family there? |

| [slm] Hmm... seems like all of us here have varied opinions of what a visit to India might be good to look forward to. ...and speaking of 'people' to meet, sis Azizah, i'd suggest if they'r coming to Bombay (aka mumbai) then they could visit the IRF (Islamic Research Foundation, www.irf.net), and maybe also get some stuff (CDs/DVDs/Reading material etc) from Dr. Zakir Naik. Or maybe go to Nagpur and meet Maulana Abdul Karim Parekh (Parekh Compound, Lakad Gunj, Nagpur-440008.) [slm] May Allah make the journey safe for your friends - Ameen |

| [wlm] that was funny hania :) well if someone was going i'd ask them for: at least one nice ethnic outfit.. sari/shalwar kameez/lengha, azizah if u don't wear any of those ask them for a kurta top also ask them to bring u a kashmiri type shawl those are gorgeous altho expensive.. if ur into cool jewlery they might be able to find some not so expensive silver stuff well my list is way too long i could just go on and on shopping wise :) but maybe ask ur friends to bring u back unique crafts type stuff.. also i'd give them some money so that they can get something nice hope that helps, wsalama wrt |
