AAMIR KHAN





Oh today was exciting! I shared an auditorium with legendary Indian actor, Aamir Khan. He impressed me as much in person as he did with his movies. His well thought out words, stress on the word "feel" and humble presence really spoke to me. When BBC Asian Network hosts Raj and Pablo introduced him, he emerged before the audience like a shy boy, smiling coyly. I do heart him! Times like these make me feel very grateful to be part of a magazine giant in London. In the past six months I have had the luxury of meeting or sharing space with celebrities like Raj & Pablo, Tommy Sandhu, Gok Wan, Anjum Anand, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and now, Aamir Khan. I feel I'm finally getting close to my idol, SRK!

Migraines, Ramadan and Mr. Khan

Work life has finally caught up with me. I have headaches day after day. I'm told it's due to stress. I beg to differ.

I also have a confession - Ramadan is almost over and I have not kept a single fast. This may be the first time since I turned 12 when I have totally and completely neglected my Muslim duties. I can't help but feel a pang of guilt every day but it still doesn't stop me from reaching for that bag of crisps yelling out my name.

Meanwhile, my housemates are losing it. One has developed an opera version to my "koochi koo" and the other finds it totally reasonable to dish out ridiculous amount of dosh on rent just to avoid a bit of travelling which by the way EVERY Londoner does as part of their "I'm a true Londoner" spiel.

On a more exciting note, next week I shall be meeting (or rather I've been promised this) Oscar nominated star, the one and only, Aamir Khan. He's no Shahrukh Khan but certainly next in line for me. I've often day dreamt about him as he serenaded gorgeous Indian beauties before my envious eyes.

Time for bed!
