If there is one thing that Railway Minister <b>Lalu Prasad Yadav</b> is more proud of than his political achievements, it is his nine children, who he likes to point out are all <b>‘‘fair and goodlooking, by the grace of God’’</b>. At daughter Chanda’s Haldi Kailash and Mehendi, all seven daughters were turned out in sparkling lehngas each prettier than the next. The two teenaged sons Tej Pratap and Tejashwi are handsome, personable boys. The latter is a talented cricketer and is in the Delhi juniors team. No one in the family seems very fond of studies—Chanda dropped out of Pune Law college and, according to a former classmate, the five younger girls when at a boarding school in Ranchi were known as the ‘‘flunkey quintet’’.

There was a mix of sophisticated Delhi and traditional Bihar at the festivities. The very elegant gold invitation read Lalu Prasad without the Yadav. A jovial Lalu playfully smeared colour on the guests. There was even a nughty dance number with the professional troupe togged out in bikini tops, brief shorts and frilly capes.
