So what is the First Lady of China do when she is in Delhi, in between her many engagements?

Why, shop of course!

Even as we write this, Peng Liyuan is at the Taj Khazana, shopping.

And why not!

This is what the Taj hotel website has to say about the high end store: 'From silver and bronze artifacts to miniature art, from a range of weaves in silks and cottons to pashminas, stoles and shawls, from objet d'art to leather, woven and beaded accessories, Taj Khazana offers a collection that is rare and uniquely Indian.'

Can soft power get softer than this?
