Mausam Noor's name as Congress candidate for North Malda was announced late. Another uncle, popularly called Lebu mama, was the earlier favorite. but as things turned out Sonia Gandhi chose the 29-year-old Mausam. "We started a month late. It was very hectic. Morever, people were shaky about my prospects. I had to prove to many, even in my family, I could do it," she says. And she did.

In the past one year, Mausam's life has sped at a far more dizzying pace than she would have liked, especially since her MLA mother Rubi Noor's unexpected death in June 2008. "I always knew I'd join politics but much later in life," says the newly-elected MP, who had completed about a year in Delhi's Fox & Mandal law firm when she returned to Malda last year. Mausam won the bypolls to become the Sujapur MLA.

A young articulate Muslim, Mausam can well represent the face of a new resurgent Congress. In her, come together the dynamism of young India and a dynastic nation's undoubtable political legacy that brings her loyal followers. After all, she is the niece of Congress veteran AB Ghani Khan Chaudhry. One of her sisters manages her family's vast real estate business; another is a surgeon in New York.

Her mother, Rubi Noor, was Sujapur's MLA for 20 years. It was natural, if early, says Mausam, to step into her shoes. "The love we receive from Malda's people motivates me. People came out only to see what Ghani Khan's niece looked like," says the wildlife and trekking enthusiast, a regular at tiger reserves. She is fond of photography too; her Nikon N-76 a constant companion during her jungle jaunts.
