AJ Does Doha in Venice

August/September:

Well haven't I beem a busy boy. Travelling here there and everywhere. Well this time I was in Venice for the Venice International Film Festival for the world premiere of one of our films:

Check out the link and my first broadcast:

This was my very first red carpet walk in with A list star such as Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts and it was a fantastic experience.

Venice in itself is a beautiful place and re-visiting it again after over 15 years was indeed a pleasure.

Working behind the scenes and then being in front of the camera exposes you to so many new challenges which I embraced - and I keep telling myself everyday how grateful I am for this opportunity.

I won't whittle on, I'll just post up all the pictures, as I'm sure that's all you want to see! Enjoy!

Cooking, parties and India!

Well as you all know I like to keep busy, and as I slowly start to get my apartment to look more like home I've also started to cook at lot more....more Indian food.

Take a look at my bhajiya, bhaturas and kachoris....yes I know they will never be as good as my mums or my aunts, but I did have a go!


 
As I start to get to know more people at work and become friends, I get more invitions to attend parties, and I'm not going to turn that down, especially as its with some nice people whom I work with.  





 As you all know, I went to India and had an amazing time. Flew business class. Stayed at the Imperial hotel in Delhi, five star luxury....I fully reccommend it.  We ate, shopped, watched movies, shopped, spa treatments and more shopping.....and then came back to Doha.....check out the Doha skyscrapers! But anyway, lots of photos for you to enjoy! 



























































Next it's London, then Canada (Ottawa and Montreal) then the USA (Maine, Vermont and NYC!).
