Ok so I’m going to go ahead and test out my theory. I truly believe that if you want something bad enough the universe conspires to make it happen (or at the very least give you the motivation) and I didn’t have to read The Secret to figure that out! Anyhow for some time now I’ve had my heart set on a name-chain with MissMalini on it in a creative running-hand font. Yes of course I know SJP had one as Carrie in Sex And The City (and I recently discovered that my wedding planner Candice has one too and its super cute!) So I’m hoping to get one for my birthday *hint hint* but to me it means so much more than my name on a chain; its a daily reminder that I am finally living my dream and it’s only going to get bigger and better, to the moon I say!

Psst! Didjya Know?

I moved to Mumbai 11 years ago* on a whim (and um… kinda because I met a guy?) I always though of Bombay as this city of dreams and when I was dancing professionally for Ronica and The Planets and it was a HUGE deal to get to go on the Bombay trip for anyone in the troupe!

When I got my first emcee gig in Mumbai (I remember it was for ESPN Star Sports in Shivaji Park over a decade ago) I was SO thrilled!

In fact I fell in love with Mumbai overnight in a taxi ride from the airport to our hotel; I loved the black & yellow (usually) super-friendly cabbies and the bright neon lights. Yes, I was finally in the city that never sleeps, and now you know my name 🙂 xoxo
