Hey guys, the last one week just flew by, lots to catch up on after getting back from London. Woke up to the most devastating news of Michael Jackson passing away. I just sank in my chair; words can’t express my emotions because I am a huge huge fan of his. He was an icon, who lead an extraordinary life. I admired him for constantly reinventing himself and for converting me - a Pop lover after Thriller! His songs were not just songs, some had such deep meaning. I was also lucky to hear a lot about him from Jermaine his brother, who I got to know closely in the Big Brother house. It was sad how the press mercilessly shred him over issues that he got acquitted for at a later stage! He was a special soul; Gods chosen one…there can Never be another MJ! His music will immortalize him… was looking forward to watching him perform at the O2 in London, alas! My condolences with the family and May his soul rest in Peace… this loss is irreparable.

Ok guys am a year older but like I always say I am like wine I get better with age, or at least that’s what I tell myself! Ha ha…Yesterday was such a fun day, don’t know where to begin… Actually still reeling from the pleasant but shocking surprise party thrown by Raj. I tell you all my London friends are such good actors; they all gave me a run for my money. Half of them just messaged me in the day not wanting to speak to me obviously thinking they would spill the beans, some of them actually made formal calls and asked me what I was doing in the evening! Little did I know I had them all waiting for me at the Mayfair, where I thought Raj was taking me for a quiet birthday dinner! I froze when I entered the penthouse suite ‘cause there were 55 of my friends who screamed “Happy Birthday!!!” unbelievable! The surprise didn’t stop there, the next thing I knew Shamita popped up from nowhere, she flew down especially all the way from Bombay and no it hasn’t ended, Raj had Escala the Violinists come in to perform and I love them, they were so sexy and talented! All the girls loved them, but the men more! The food was catered by Nobu - my favorite and while I was just getting over it all, they brought out the birthday cake and Raj announced “Babes, Sugar Babes for you!”

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw this girl band walk in… They performed and everyone loved them, my jaw was still open from the shock but never mind that. It was amazing how Raj pulled it off all on his own and still managed to keep it a surprise, genius! On the whole it was definitely my best and most special birthday, it was perfect! I have only Raj and my Friends and Shamita to thank for that. Thanks to all those who have written in and wished me too… I feel very blessed to receive so much love… am just celebrating life now, can’t see any reason why I shouldn’t!

Firstly I am really sorry to have not blogged for a week but was unwell for a couple of days. In London now… came here straight from South Africa, needed some time to myself and some time to unwind from the cricket mania, and no better place to do it than London. Needed to detox so retail therapy works well for me, ha ha shopping my feet off making use of the perfect weather. Other than that was also here to attend a press conference where we announced the British Asian Trust Cup, which is a match between the Middlesex Panthers and the Rajasthan Royals… will be played at Lords on the 6th of July, and all the proceeds going towards the Prince’s charity, so fun with a good cause. Other than that… shot for a Magazine here, and caught up with some friends but the high point was walking on our wet lawn barefoot, 25 degrees Celsius perfect weather and having a chocolate cup cake from Lola’s… Ah Divine! Now this is what I live for. Anyway will be here till my birthday on 8th and then back to Bombay… reality beckons! Cheerio guys until next time… be good and enjoy life, make the best of it, because it’s the cheapest bargain you get it for free
