I'm sure you are all going to love my Femina cover shoot! I had a blast yesterday and the entire team was absolutely awesome! After my shoot I headed to the Zoom office for an interview on my experiences so far. Both Prachi and I had fun listening to each other's perspective on how much we have changed, learned and grown in the last few months. Needless to say, I was wiped out by the end of the day so I have decided to skip the gym and sleep in today! Snooze time! Ciao!

This is wishing Vanya Mishra best of luck at the Miss World competition today! She has what it takes and I have my fingers crossed that she will win the crown for us!

Miss her tons and hope to see her soon with the beautiful blue crown on her head!

After a fun-filled morning at Xavier's College, Mumbai where we attended the Malhar festival and selected a beautiful girl to take part in the regional rounds of PFMI 2013, Prachi and I rushed home to catch Vanya's Miss World 2012 show live.

You can imagine our excitement as we watched her do us proud by leading on the score board throughout the pageant.

She won the two most coveted titles of "Beauty for a cause" and "Multimedia". The multimedia sub contest was a first for the pageant and every country had its eye on the title. I'm proud to say that our Vanya will go down in Miss World history as the first winner of this cool sub contest.

All her efforts earned her the highest points of the Top 15 and her performance on stage that night brought her to the Top 7 as well. I honestly believed that Vanya deserved to win and in my heart she will always be a winner.

She has gone further than anyone has in a long time and has really put India back on the Miss World front page. I hope you will all join me in congratulating her when she arrives home. She has certainly set the ball rolling for Prachi and me.

Was a feeling of mixed emotions as I picked up Vanya from the airport along with the kids from the Muktangan project.

She has made us all proud and it was all flowers and cheers as our 'Miss World' came out with a big smile. I'm so proud of her and we are off to catch up on all the Miss World gossip.

Prachi and I had a great time at NM College and it was fun to judge the fashion show along with Sahil Shroff and Archana Kochhar.

The highlight for me was the beat boxing performance by "Monkey Rhymes" and the two absolutely entertaining MC's (who were students from participating colleges).

By far the most professional college fest we have visited yet and filled with so much talent that we had a tough time deciding the winners of the fashion show and for the Femina round as well.

Eventually we picked two girls who have a lot of promise and will get a direct entry to the regional pageants.

The day ended with Vanya, Prachi and I celebrating Vanya's victory over ice cream and cold coffee along with stylist Edward (responsible for Vanya's Miss World wardrobe).

A great day all in all. Well I'm off to the gym! Ciao!

Enjoying a relaxing day at home for a change and will be off to the gym in the evening. I'm really excited about hanging out with my best friend Shweta this evening as she is in town for the rest of the week.

Hope you are all having a good week! Ciao!

Prachi and I had an extremely tiring session at the gym today but it feels like a million bucks when you make it through the grueling session!

Well I'm off for a day of shopping and scouting out outfits for my international pageant. This time is so exciting and I can't wait to be on my way!

Today is a busy day with a couple of meetings lined up; the apartment is in quite a whirlwind state since all three of us are back together and with back to back assignments. Thus I've decided to organize a few things at home before I head out for a crazy day!

Looking at the picture which was taken (the day after we were crowned), it's hard to believe it has only been five months considering how our lives have changed and how much we have learned and grown since then.

Well I hope u all have a fun weekend! Ciao!
