The artist is currently in India to promote her latest album, Traveller.

NEW DELHI, Jan. 11 -- After actor Madhuri Dixit, it is sitarist Anoushka Shankar who is ready to pack her bags for the homecoming. Shankar, who is settled in London with her filmmaker husband Joe Wright, year old son Zubin and and their dog, Kansas Brown, says she wants her child to know his roots.

"We (Joe and I) do talk about that. That's likely to happen at some point. India is home, and it's important for me to raise Zubin in his country," says the 30-year-old. The artist is currently in India to promote her latest album, Traveller. She will perform in Mumbai on January 13 and in Delhi on January 15 as part of the Vh1 Handpicked concerts. Since the "record was made while he (Zubin) was being made," the daughter of sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar is making plans for both at the same time. Does she see him growing up to be a musician too? "Whatever he chooses, I want him to be happy ... he can be an accountant for that matter, I'm fine with it!"

She's sure the family effect is rubbing off, though. "The way he is being raised is definitely in a very artistic environment. So if that has an impact, then it's not for us (to stop him)." She adds: "I've been speaking to him more in Tamil because that's my mother tongue. My dad speaks to him in Bengali. I'd like him to speak Hindi."

About Women In Fashion

I wanted to move to New York City and work in fashion. I had a small handbag business when I arrived and sold bags in a few stores in Boston, Brooklyn and Boulder. Then when I actually started working in the fashion world full time, I lost interest because it was too cut-throat for my New England blood. Instead, I decided to follow my number one love: writing. But truth be told, I’m still fairly obsessed with fashion and set aside Saturday mornings to pore over my Vogue. I also have a collect of them from as far back as the 1920′s.
Other entertainment also included a performance by a young local musician.
Matthew Pratt has only been playing the acoustic guitar for two years and after his set no one could believe he's still learning.
As he played his final piece, the models back stage received their final touch ups.
There were three local designers on show, Wild Lime, Jennaalyce and Aila Costa.
Wild Lime is tailored for the more mature ladies while Jennaalyce designs for the younger market.
Aileen Costales completed her fashion studies in Adelaide and this is her fourth collection.
