The diary is filling up, and touch wood some exciting times ahead. Of course, the Mumbai attacks; last year has really changed the mood not only of the country but the world.

Q. Any unfulfilled desires from 2008 that you'd like to carry on and complete in 2009?

Q. Favourite possession?

Q. Hugs or Kisses?
CJ: Depends on the mood.
Q. Favourite cuisine?
CJ: Can't beat home cooking.
Q. How was your appearance at the New Years Eve event you came for in London?
CJ: Amazing...the 007 themes was great. Coming in the Aston Martin, and the suits and dresses of the guests made it special. The venue in itself was amazing and the entertainment was really good. I got to interact with the crowd and talk to them, unlike shows where the artiste just comes performs and goes. It was more personal.
Q. Lastly your ideal New Years Eve night would be spent with...
CJ: With my friends and family.
