Mind your P's and Q's, trim your hair, cut your nails, polish your shoes, wear blazers and a special word of advice for the women, no gaudy saris please //-- just some of the do's and don'ts for Indian security personnel getting ready for the Bush visit.

Women were given specific instructions too - no slippers, and their best saris with sandals. "Your saris should not be too gaudy," their officer said.

Though getting the look right was important, it was equally crucial to watch every word.
