Persian New Years has always been exciting but as we get closer, I feel a bit more excited even du to the Magic of Persia Gala event; having a piece in any auction could be exciting yet stressful. Lot of "What Ifs" go through my head and at the same time I couldn't be more proud to be part of this amazing night. This could be the only time I will be happy to be a bit jet lagged maybe that would calm me down a bit! Flying from Melbourne to Dubai could not be so bad after all...just like my mom always tells me "Better to see the glass as half full'. Now that the Gala night is just a few nights away, I couldn't be happier to have my husband with me on that night, my number one fan and my supporter will be by my side as always and we will celebrate the Persian new year with selling one of my pieces in an auction which is going to be run by Christie's...could I ask for a better way to celebrate New Years? Don't think so...

The schedule sent to the artists by Magic Of Persia Foundation looks really interesting as well. We will have VIP passes to Art Dubai, an amazing art event which attracts art lovers from all over the world to the magical city of Dubai. On the night of the Auction - March 21st - we will be having some events as well prior to the auction and we will end the night with live performance by Shahram Shabpareh who is a well known musician since 60's.

Stay tuned for some images, photos and updates from Dubai!

This past January I was interviewed by Behnood Mokri on VOA - Voice of America - Farsi. I have always been a fan of Behnood Mokri's programs. It is hard to believe that I was a guest on one of the shows that we all used to watch back home in Iran with my parents. It was a great honor and I really enjoyed the chat. This is part of the interview which was aired today on VOA's "Shabahang". The complete version will be shared soon through VOA website and on their Facebook page.

Earlier today I was interviewed by Behnood Mokri who needs no introduction to all my Iranian family and friends. But for those of you who don’t know him, he is an award winning TV journalist and producer who is currently hosting one of my favorite programs on VOA Persia which is a cultural program conducting the most interesting, engaging and in-depth interviews in arts and entertainment.

It was an honor to be invited for this interview to Washington DC and also to meet him in person. The conversation was fun, relaxed and entertaining.
Stay tuned – Will let you all know when it will air.
