After a long gap of 12 years, India decided to visit Pakistan, and that decision made all the difference. The atmosphere on both sides of the border became friendly and welcoming. It was a moment to rewind, an opportunity waiting to be seized. It was during this time that a blog titled “Observe To Learn” caught the attention of many.

Dubai to Mumbai

The story takes us from Dubai to Mumbai, where the Indian-dominated media fraternity posed a challenge. The author, driven by exceptional networking skills and a stroke of luck, managed to convince the decision-makers to give them a chance. The journey began with a visit to Delhi, a city that taught the author about the historical synergies between the two countries. Politics may have its reign, but fashion, music, history, and sports were bonds worth exploring.In their quest to bring people together, the author proposed a unique idea. What if an upcoming fashion event, scheduled for October 2004, showcased a refreshing array of stunning designs from across the border? It had never been done before. The idea caught the attention of Femina, one of India’s leading and most respected fashion publications based in Mumbai. They agreed to collaborate and become an equal partner in this endeavor.

The Paradox

However, the journey to convince the Pakistani fashion industry was not as smooth. The author encountered more negativity while talking to designers and journalists in Pakistan. Despite the obstacles, the author persevered, fueled by a deep love for their country. They were determined to make it happen for the sake of Pakistan’s fashion industry. Finally, they found an ally in Mrs. Sehyr Saigol, the publisher of Libas International. Mrs. Saigol rose above the challenges, without questioning “us” or “them,” and became the inspiration that kept the author going.
