Trip down memory lane!
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf brought in their personal touches in seeking to establish a chemistry between them and move forward the peace process between the two countries.
At a dinner Singh hosted in honour of Musharraf at the state-owned Ashoka Hotel here on Saturday, the Indian prime minister recalled the recent visit of the Pakistan president's mother Begum Zarin, brother Javed and son Bilal to India.
"I believe your son was quite a hit with young people here! My wife and I went down memory lane with your mother and brother, talking about common friends and shared experiences," Singh said.

She was so utterly charming that my wife said to her 'I envy your daughter-in-law. She is so lucky to have a mother-in-law like you!'", the Indian Prime Minister said in his speech at the dinner.
