We have been in a social whirlwind in this city of celluloid dreams - we've been singing the classic song from C.I.D all the time, Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan. It totally sums up what we love- the magnetic madness of this city.
Today has been our first full on day in Mumbai & this time around it really does feel like home. We're staying with Harshita Kohli in the middle of this magical city, with ghar ka kanna and ginger tea in the mornings.
Thank you for all your responses for interview with Saif and Kareena. Did you check it out on the the BBC homepage? Can't wait for 'Kurbaan' next week and we should be watching it in Mumbai. The buzz is Vivek delivers a powerful performance and is the surprise package.
What a week it's been! We met up with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor (you can hear that on Saturday) we said a quick hi-bye to Karan Johar and we trekked deep into the suburbs to watch Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Jail - why can't Bollywood Films be shown everywhere? Meanwhile in my more personal time (!) I was shivering and enjoying "balti baths" while waiting for my boiler to be fixed; organising a dinner party that I'd totally forgotten I'd promised I'd cook for and anxiously waiting for my passport to arrive and waiting ages for a visa. Who says I'm disorganised?!

As ever, it's been a busy week for us; watch out for our interview with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. They came down to our studios yesterday to talk about their new film 'Kurbaan'. Not only will you be able to hear the interview on Love Bollywood, but you'll also be able to watch it on the BBC Asian Network website very soon.
Now the dust has settled and Diwali is over, 'All The Best' has emerged as the surprise leader of the lacklustre releases from that weekend. The annual celeberations for Pablo's birthday have also died down, so we all thought we'd have a moment to breathe. Ahhhhh.
