Nicholas Sparks, Shabana Azmi, Chef Nobu, Bob Geldof and Russell Peters… with names of this calibre going though immigration at DXB, it’s no surprise that the city – regardless of whatever floats your boat – has been a veritable hub of excitement.

Now, art buffs and design aficionados have something to look forward to with the imminent launch of the Dubai Modern Art Museum and Opera House District. Work on the centre – located in Downtown Dubai – is expected to commence shortly and promises to position the city as a serious contender on the global art map.

Our personal culture binge continues this month as we gear up for a feast of films, music festivals, art auctions… and food, of course. Speaking of which, we hear that ice cream made from (wait for it…) camel’s milk will hit our shores in the middle of the year, just in time for the brutal summer heat. A taste of the desert infused with dates, saffron, caramel and chocolate… who would’ve thought?

And if you’d recently fallen off the radar, you can catch up on the highlights of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships along with all the festivities that marked its 20th anniversary. Next month, we’ll re-live the magic of the Dubai World Cup, journey through the flavours of Asia and show you the accessories you need to travel with that extra ‘oomph’. Stay tuned.

April Fool’s Day

Tell A Lie Day

World Health Day

Earth Day

Keep a safe distance from the pranksters in your life for as long as your calendar tells you it’s the first of the month… or be on the giving end for a change! April Fool’s Day is celebrated worldwide with practical jokes of the harmless variety. One theory states that it began in 1582 when the Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian calendar and New Year's Day was changed to January 1. Because news travelled slowly, many continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Others began to mock them, sending them on "fool's errands" or tricking them into believing something false.

Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe.

If you’ve ever felt an affinity with Pinocchio or Jim Carrey’s character in Liar Liar, this is the one day of the year to embrace it. After all, how often do you get permission to tell a little fib, slightly stretch the truth or even create tall tales to your heart’s content? In an ironic twist, the USA celebrates National Honesty Day on April 30, which encourages exactly the opposite! The day was created by author M. Hirsh Goldberg in the early 1990s after four years of researching and writing The Book of Lies. He felt a month that begins with a day dedicated to lying should end on a higher moral note.

Celebrated annually, World Health Day marks the founding of the World Health Organisation in 1948 by drawing attention to a subject of major importance to global health with international and local events.

This year’s theme is ‘Ageing and Health: good health adds life to years’. Its focus is how good health throughout life can help older men and women lead full and productive lives and be a resource for their families and communities. It is estimated that due to falling birth rates and rising life expectancies in most countries, the world will soon have more older people than children, leading to the need for adapting healthcare systems.

Intended to inspire appreciation for the Earth's natural environment and encourage responsible behaviour, Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a response to environmental degradation. Now 175 countries observe it annually. This year’s theme is Mobilise the Earth: people of all backgrounds are urged to demand that their governments take steps toward protecting the environment. Earth Day was founded

by US Senator Gaylord Nelson, who realised that if he could infuse the energy of the anti Vietnam War movement with an emerging public consciousness about pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the political agenda.

F

eaturing a cast of the world’s top tennis stars, it’s no surprise that the recent Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships drew a record crowd of over 100,000 to the Dubai Tennis Stadium. The first big upset of the WTA Tour event came on opening night, when 2011 runner-up Svetlana Kuznetsova was upset 2-6 7-6 6-4 by Dubai debutante Julia Goerges.

The same day, Maria Kirilenko coincidently beat Monica Niculescu 6-3 6-0. Kirilenko had not won a match here since 2007, when she beat the same player by the same score in the same round!

On the second day, Agnieszka Radwanska emerged from the match against Aleksandra Wozniak with a 6-1 6-7 7-5 win. Ana Ivanovic won the battle of two former French Open champions by beating Francesca Schiavone, but Marion Bartoli – who had recently suffered an injury – hobbled her way to defeat Shuai Peng.

There were no major upsets on the third day, although US Open Champion Samantha Stosur was taken to three sets while top seed Victoria Azarenka was forced to withdraw with an ankle injury. Defending champion Caroline Wozniacki beat Simona Halep in straight sets.

The quarter-finals saw Jelena Jankovic continue her run of excellent results in Dubai, as she upset Stosur 6-4 6-2 to reach her fourth semi-final since 2005. Wozniacki emerged from a challenging encounter against Ivanovic with a 6-3 7-5 victory, Radwanska overwhelmed Sabine Lisicki 6-2 6-1 and Goerges continued her winning streak by beating Daniela Hantuchova 4-6 6-3 6-4.

Semi-finals day, and Wozniacki surrendered her crown when she was defeated 7-6 7-5 by Goerges. The battle took over two hours, with the outcome remaining in the balance right to the end. The other semi-final saw Radwanska get the better of Jankovic, winning 6-2 2-6 6-0 in an entertaining contest.

Winning the final 7-5 6-4, Radwanska had to work hard for her maiden victory right to the end against a talented but inconsistent opponent, even having to fight off a break point as she served for the match. “It feels great to be the champion,” said the Polish player. “I was pretty close to losing the first round, so I'm extremely happy. I was just better by a couple of points. Two tight sets, but I think in the important moments, I was more consistent.”

Goerges wasn’t disillusioned by her defeat, knowing she had offered a solid challenge: “I don't think I did so many things wrong, because Agnieszka’s a tough player and I was close to win both sets. I'm not disappointed because it was a big step in the right direction for me. I can be pretty proud of this week.”

Meanwhile, the opening day of the ATP tournament saw defeat for Djokovic. But it wasn’t defending champion Novak, but his brother Marko who lost to Andrey Golubev. aPRiL 2012

The world number one came through a competitive first round, beating Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6-4 6-2, while American number one Mardy Fish crushed Andreas Beck 6-1 6-1.

Six of the eight seeds were in action on the second day, and all progressed. Roger Federer won the first 11 points of the match but saved a set point in the second set as he beat Michael Llodra 6-0 7-6. Meanwhile, Murray was stretched to three sets by Michael Berrer.

There was only one upset in the second round, as Fish went down to 2010 finalist Mikhail Youzhny. Federer came through a potentially dangerous meeting with Feliciano Lopez, winning 7-5 6-3.

Both Djokovic and Federer won their quarter-final matches without facing a break point, although the defending champion was set point down in the tiebreak before he defeated Janko Tipsarevic 6-1 7-6. Federer defeated Youzhny 6-3 6-4. Murray ended his losing streak against recent Montpellier winner Tomas Berdych, but it took him seven match points to wrap up his match 6-3 7-5.

In a minor upset, eighth seed Juan Martin Del Potro defeated Wimbledon semi-finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 6-2.

The semi-finals saw Murray upset Djokovic 6-2 7-5, with the world number one losing seven straight games at one stage.

Federer overcame Del Potro in two tiebreaks, but was down 6-2 in the second set breaker before reeling off the final six points.

The final went to Federer as he overcame a strong challenge from Murray to win 7-5 6-4; this is his fifth Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships singles title. Both players produced a sensational game that had spectators at the packed Dubai Tennis Stadium screaming in delight, and the outcome was in the balance right to the end.

Federer faced break points for only the second time in the week when Murray led 40-15 on his serve for a 4-2 lead. He fought off the challenge, but Murray was finally

Agnieszka Radwanska

able to make a breakthrough at 5-5 when he claimed Federer’s serve on his fifth break point of the game.

In the second set it was Federer’s turn to hold the upper hand when he broke to lead 2-1. Murray responded by levelling at 3-3 but remained under pressure, surviving a break point in the next game but netting a doublehanded backhand at 4-4 to leave Federer serving for the match.

“The match was close in both sets,” said Federer. “I just gave myself more opportunities

than Andy did overall. I felt really good out there. I felt calm knowing what I wanted to do.

I used the surface to my advantage, which in the last year's finals I didn't."

Commenting on the atmosphere, he added: “Coming out to the Mexican Wave with the crowd singing my name was great. It gives you goosebumps; it's great motivation to play well. To win the tournament and win so often now is a beautiful thing. It's definitely got a special place in my heart, this tournament."

Murray was naturally disappointed at the outcome, but acknowledged that he’d enjoyed a great week: "Sets can come down to just a couple points. You get a lucky shot here or one great shot there and you can break the set wide open. So I think that was the difference in the first set; second set he played better. It was a good win yesterday, good win the day before, tough match today… so I'm happy with the week."

The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is owned and organised by Dubai Duty Free and held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VicePresident and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Turning 20 Tennis aces Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic ascended the luxurious Burj Al Arab to take in the view of the Dubai skyline from its helipad while hitting a few balls. The two were delighted to see that an entire TV set had been positioned on the helipad, complete with a giant ‘20’ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of outstanding tennis in Dubai.

During the outside interview broadcast, the two players – along with Colm McLoughlin, Gerald Lawless and Salah Tahlak – reflected on the growth of the tournament, and of Dubai, over the past two decades.

Federer was full of praise for the tournament, which has grown to become one of the most popular on the world tennis circuit: "It has won awards thanks to the people sitting here with us, and they deserve it. The organisation is really well done. The top players in particular love coming here and they always have a great time."

Colm McLoughlin was justifiably proud of how the tournament has grown from just a bold plan in 1992 to the high profile success it is today: "I am especially proud of the Dubai Duty Free team that pulls it all together so well each year.

Just in time

Fresh off the heels of baSELWORLd 2012, we’re reminded that luxury watches are still very much a sound investment. WORDS Joanne Molina

Baume & Mercier’s Capeland 10006

“Time is money,” Benjamin Franklin advised over three centuries ago – and the fast pace of the today’s lifestyle has only confirmed this keen observation. Cell phones, iPads and our millions of necessary electronic devices offer dull flickering digital displays of the hours and minutes packed into each day.

But savvy consumers are revolting against these uninspiring options by investing in the singular beauty and luxurious mechanization of the world’s most exquisite timepieces.

Four CEOs from the industry’s top producers – A. Lange & Söhne, Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier and La Montre Hermès – reveal the secrets behind the rage for these jewels for the wrist.

And the numbers reveal that this trend of investing in chronological sophistication stands to continue and even increase, as countries with emerging luxury markets escalate the demand for these timepieces.

According to the Journal of Haute Horologerie, “Even as crises continue to shake Europe, Swiss watch-making has come up trumps, as the latest crop of positive results shows.

First exports, which surged 19.2% to reach CHF 19.3 billion (USD 21.1 billion / EUR 16 billion) for the twelve months of 2011. This is 13% up on the previous record of 2008. The different groups in the sector have also all posted double-digit growth. In 2011, Swatch's gross sales breached CHF 7 billion for the first time, gaining 21.7% at constant exchange rates to CHF 7.15 billion (USD 7.83 billion / EUR 5.92 billion). This boosted profit by 12.4% to CHF 1.6 billion (USD 1.75 billion / EUR 1.32 billion).”

Wilhelm Schmid, CEO for A. Lange & Söhne, explains that the reasons for this excellent growth may be surprising. “The boot is on the other foot: In a modern world

that is determined by acceleration and mass production there is growing desire to slow down and an increased demand for the handmade one-off object. High-end mechanical timepieces fulfill this desire because they symbolise the value of time.

Winding a beautiful watch and taking delight in the intricate mechanism and the many precious details is the ultimate art of deceleration. And there is yet another aspect: In times of volatile economic conditions, value retention has become an important aspect in buying decisions.”

Value retention is indeed another key to this surge in consumer spending. Francois-Henry Bennahmias, President & CEO of Audemars Piguet North America Inc. says that exclusivity is an important factor in their success. “Recent auction results continue to reinforce the importance of our brand with collectors who

recognize the brand not only for its unique designs but its technical innovations as well.

Ultimately, a client who buys an Audemars Piguet timepiece not only appreciates it for the design but also values the brand's exclusivity and exceptional craftsmanship.”

But worth is determined by an emotional response – the seduction of tasteful eyes is not only carried out by the story each object tells, but also by time-honored craftsmanship and meticulous detailing. Luc Perramond, CEO of La Montre Hermès (LMH), muses about the magic spell of the perfectly appointed timepiece, “What makes luxury timepieces highly desirable is the fine craftsmanship, the merge between technology and poetry.

At Hermès, we write a kind of philosophy of time. Hand craftsmanship lies at the core of the aesthetic cultivated by the House of Hermès. A range of precious skills is constantly celebrated, and the objects created tell the story of the ties between hand and mind. Every year, La Montre Hermès creates exceptional timepieces that express the talent of our different craftsmen. Then time stands as a friend, a resource that enables our craftsmen to create unique objects.”

But sometimes it’s the personal that makes a timepiece priceless. “In our world surrounded by technology, choosing a luxury watch is more than just simply for telling the time! It mainly tells who you are, who you want to be, and is a reflection of not only your style but also of your personality and where you are going in life,” says Baume & Mercier CEO Alain Zimmermann. “Beyond a personality mirror, a luxury watch should be also considered as a lifelong companion that will be transmitted to the future generations.

Watches are also important milestones of the most precious moments in life: graduation, birthdays, engagement, anniversaries….”

Time flies: current trends and the future of luxury timepieces According to Zimmerman, there are three trends driving today’s buyer: “Larger sizes offering a more prominent appearance of a watch is a big trend, for both women and men. Red/rose gold is also a trend – the material is very elegant, and its warm tones embody a more contemporary spirit than the previously wider seen yellow gold, and the ability to personalize a timepiece is demanded more and more – in a society where products are becoming universal,

Audemars Piguet’s The Royal Oak

personalization is key. To match with this request, we offer the opportunity to engrave personal messages on the sundeck décor of the case back from each of our collections.”

But Schmid adds that, “As a global trend we see an increasing demand for timepieces with sophisticated complications. We have met this trend in the past two decades and we have addressed it again recently with the hero of our 2012 collection, the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar. It combines two grand

BASELWORLD 2012: a legacy of luxury it was a week to revel in the sublime – over 104,000 luxury watch connoisseurs and curiosity-driven consumers from over 100 countries flocked to baSELWORLd 2012 to enjoy the splendours of 1815 exhibitors from 41 countries. La Montre Hermes, breitling, Rolex and Omega – just to name a few – look to this annual fête to reveal their latest wares.

This premiere showcase for the world’s top luxury brands has reached many milestones since its inception as a Swiss showcase in 1917. Ever-expanding, it began welcoming exhibitors from outside Europe in 1986, and in 1999 it launched into the new millennium with its new watch hall (converted into the “Hall of the universe” in 2004) which – in the true style of baSELWORLd – is already scheduled for a monumental refurbishing in 2013 by legendary basel architects Herzog & de Meuron.

complications in the iconic Lange 1 style: the world’s first perpetual calendar equipped with a rotating month ring; and a tourbillion which is equipped with our patented stop-seconds mechanism.” Bennahvmias also notes how buyers are embracing the abundance of new materials.

“There is a real interest in the use of new materials – ceramic, titanium and forged carbon are three such examples we have been using in our designs, about which we are receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from clients.”

And while these trends will undoubtedly continue into the future, there are some very special things in store for buyers who are looking beyond the banal and into the vibrant world of couture timepieces.

Perramond reveals the delights in store for La Montre Hermès: “Since 2008 the primary mission assigned to [us] was to become a major growth driver within the Group, a mission that is today gradually reached. On February 9th 2011, the sales results of Hermès were published showing that the watches reached an upper growth of 23% achieving a result stronger than the ones recorded by the Group. That means that our strategy aiming at rebalancing the product mix between male and female segment and quartz and mechanical movements has already reached a new stage. Celebrating almost one century of watch-making, La Montre Hermès will assert its mechanical watch-making expertise 34

by introducing in 2012 its first Manufacturemade caliber. The upcoming years will see a strong increase of manufacture mechanical movement and the creation of modules in the same vein of the [piece] ‘Time Suspended.’”

Bennahmias says that, in a sense, the future of Audemars Puguet lies in it’s past.

“This year is a significant year for Audemars Piguet as it is the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak The Royal Oak is considered by many to be one of the most iconic watch designs, as it was the first-ever luxury stainless steel sports watch in an era when gold was considered the only high-end option.” These museum-quality pieces will also be on display at prominent cultural institutions around the globe. “To commemorate this milestone, we have

created an exhibition of over 100 rare timepieces from our museum in Le Brassus that will travel to key cities over the next year – including New York, Milan, Paris, Dubai, Beijing and Singapore.”

A. Lange & Söhne sees it’s future in their expansion into the stylish hands of the Middle East. “We see great market potential for our brand. Therefore, we will continue our efforts to actively develop the region and open boutiques in strategic locations,” says Schmid.

Baume & Mercier is on the same path: “[In] the coming months expansion in the Middle East is a heavy focus for us. We will open new points of sales in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and around the region,” says Zimmerman. After all, it’s about time... dv

With more than three million visitors it has the honour of being the most visited city in the southern hemisphere, which has also earned it the nickname Cidade Maravilhosa (The Marvellous City). Stunning mountain top views, ritzy nightclubs and ravishing beaches have created a sensual paradise.

The Princess of Thailand, King Gustav and Queen Silvia of Sweden, Mick Jagger, and Diana Ross (just to name a few) have all known that for a worldclass, authentic Portuguese dining experience they should head to Antiquarius restaurant. Surrounded by antiques and art, guests of the rustic award-winning restaurant in the Leblon district can select from 50 varieties of bacalhau (salted cod), as well as the chef’s famous duck rice à moda da casa and more than 100 other classic Portugese dishes.

Made famous by the 1962 bossa nova ballad of residents Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, the neighborhood of Ipanema is the soul of the city. Not only has it been named the “sexiest beach in Rio” it also boasts world-class restaurants, hotels, galleries and shops. The roadway closest to the beach is closed to motor vehicles each Sunday so local residents and tourists can ride bikes, roller skate, skateboard and stroll along the ocean. After the sun worshipping, head to Rua Garcia D'Ávila, the most sophisticated cross-street in Ipanema, to find designer furniture, fashion and jewelry at boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Mont Blanc.

Embrace your inner bohemian chic. Peace, love and rock & roll (among clothing, jewellery, antiques, folk art and food) is what visitors will find in the decadesold market, Feira Hippie de Ipanema. What began as a hippie hangout has developed into a place where locals and tourists come to peruse authentic Brazilian treasures from 700 vendors. Every Sunday (rain or shine) this market has been the venue for local artists and craftspeople since 1968. aPRiL 2012

Each school has 90 minutes to take the dancers, drums and floats that represent their own samba style and traditions from one end of the Sambadrome to the other. After days of brutal competition, the winner marches in the final “Parade of Champions”.

It’s one of the most recognised landmarks in Brazil and one of the seven new wonders of the world: Cristo Redentor. Constructed between 1922 and 1931, the Art Deco statue (the largest in the world) that towers over Rio has drawn thousands of visitors. Towering over the city on top of the 214,000m Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park, the statue, which is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, is 39.6m tall, 29.8m wide and weighs 635 tonnes.

You don’t have to be a rock climber or even experience it in a James Bond film: Sugar Loaf Mountain is one of Rio’s most famous natural marvels, and visitors can experience it by cable car. Jutting out into the mouth of Guantabara Bay, the 396m mountain sits among several other hills that rise sharply from the water.

The Italian-made cars, originally built in 1912 and rebuilt in 2008, are capable of holding 65 passengers, and offer breathtaking 360-degree views of the city as they ascend the peak every 20 minutes.

Spanning the ‘Devil’s Backbone’ in the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains in northern Mexico, the Baluarte Bridge was inaugurated as part of the 200th anniversary of Mexico.

Supported by 152 steel suspenders, the four-lane bridge, built at a cost of more than $145 million is even higher than the famous Millau Viaduct in France. As part of the Mexican governments pledge to improve national infrastructure, the bridge, which will form part of the Durango-Mazatlan Highway that provides a transversal link between the Pacific and Atlantic, will considerably reduce travel time between major cities, in some cases by as much as six hours.

The St Regis Lhasa Resort opened last year, hot on the heels of an exclusive boutique hotel, but many other big chains have submitted blueprints for new resorts to authorities. Approximately five luxury hotel chains are to open before 2015, by which time Tibet expects to welcome more than 15 million tourists annually.

The top 10 include Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Singapore Incheon, South Korea, Tokyo and Bangkok. According to the ACI, the number of worldwide passengers grew by seven per cent and international travellers increased by eight per cent over 2010. Atlanta, in the United States, remains the world’s busiest airport in terms of international and domestic travellers with 89.33 million, followed by Beijing (73.94 million) and Chicago (66.77 million).

Completing his studies in 1961, Colm has been at the helm of the airport retail operation since its inception in december 1983.

Part of the original 10-man team from aer Rianta and former head of Shannon duty Free, he’s the driving force behind the hugely successful operation that employs over 4,000 staff and reached a turnover of $1.46 billion in 2011. Currently the largest airport retailer in a single airport in terms of turnover, dubai duty Free incorporates a Leisure division that includes the aviation Club, Century Village, The irish Village and the soon to open Jumeirah Creekside hotel, a five-star property that will be managed by the Jumeirah Group.

Ray and Feidlim have enjoyed highly successful business careers combined with high-profile sporting success on the rugby field.

George Horan, President of Dubai Duty Free, at the Trinity Forum conference held in Seoul, South Korea. dubai duty Free’s support for Hand in Hand for Haiti, the travel retail industry-funded educational initiative, went a step further as the airport retailer announced a donation of $500,000 by the dubai duty Free Foundation to finance a new sports complex at the Lycee Jean baptiste Pointe du Sable School in Saint Marc. The dubai duty Free Sports Complex will offer pupils and the wider community an outstanding sports and leisure facility; included will be an international regulation soccer pitch, a six-lane athletic track, and a basketball and volleyball court.

The announcement, which was made at the Trinity Forum conference in Seoul by dubai duty Free's President George Horan, had the full support of HH Sheikh ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum, Chairman of dubai duty Free, as well as the dubai duty Free Foundation board that is headed by Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman of dubai duty Free.

Hand in Hand for Haiti was initiated by Olivier bottrie, President of the Estee Lauder Companies, Travel Retail worldwide, Ed brennan, CEO of dFS and Martin Moodie, Founder and Publisher of the Moodie Report. it was initiated in response to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010 and has received widespread support from the travel retail industry. The first phase of its education project was launched in September 2011 with the opening of the Lycee school, which will eventually provide education to 720 children. dubai duty Free was among the travel retailers that provided financial support, making donations from its own Foundation and members of staff. “dubai duty Free, through our Foundation and staff initiatives, responded quickly to the Hand in Hand for Haiti initiative as it struck a chord with us... especially as its aim was to better the lives of children through education, which is one of the objectives of our Foundation. it has done a tremendous job in driving forward the completion of the Lycee School in such a short space of time and i congratulate Olivier, Ed and Martin on their hard work. We are looking forward to seeing the development of the new complex and see it become a focal point for the community,” said Colm McLoughlin.t

IN FULL BLOOM Florals in springtime… it’s not the most radical trend, but one we can’t help but adore year after year. While the über girly types will be sporting floral-print dresses, footwear and even full trouser suits, the rest of us can enjoy a healthy dose with just an accent or two.

Appropriate with formal attire, designed for underwater diving, inspired by eras past or even capable of sending text messages‌ building the ultimate watch collection calls for delving into the hottest timepiece trends, head-on. Another two types we’ve been strapping onto our wrists as of late? The unisex and the chronograph: much like our brogues and blazers, we love the former for blurring the line between the male and female aesthetic and the latter for its effortless expression of mechanical beauty.

IN TRANSIT WITH

Let’s play the one-word association game with some of your high-profile interviewees: The Dalai Lama – witty Imran Khan – enigmatic Queen Noor – elegant Hillary Clinton – sharp Bill Clinton – charming Nelson Mandela – that’s a tough one because he was in a bad mood… unique

One interview that you would do over?

Riz Khan with the Dalai Lama

NO RIZERVATIONS ERVATIONS Journalist, TV host and author Riz Khan is instantly recognisable, courtesy of his illustrious career with the BBC, CNN and Al Jazeera English. Samia Qaiyum met with him to discuss the launch of his comic fiction We Interrupt Our Programming at the Emirates LitFest… only to discover that behind the poised TV persona is a passion for philanthropy, a refreshingly candid sense of humour and the most endearing love-hate relationship with food.

Is this your first visit to Dubai?

Not at all. I first came here in 2001 for the opening of Dubai Media City. It was still early days; Hard Rock Café was the tallest thing around. I went out there thinking, “It’s in the middle of nowhere!” It’s beautiful now with the marina’s shadows across the area. I’m blown away by what’s happened here in 11 years.

One place you’ve always wanted to visit, but never got around to it?

Australia; I’m embarrassed to say it because I have many Australian friends. My manager got me and my daughter Zara a map; we put pins on where we’d been together. She’s turning six and she's visited places that even I haven’t. She spent four weeks with me last summer and I printed our itinerary thinking, “What am I doing?” It was 10 flights to 5 countries; 12 cities in 4 time zones. But Zara’s like me; she just puts on her backpack and goes.

How would you describe the current state of world politics to her?

I can’t use swear words, can I? I’d say many things are messed up, but there are some good things going on too. You have to focus on the good, be aware of the bad, and learn about 74

DUBAI VOYAGER

both so you have a good perspective in judging which is which.

What have your world travels taught you?

That the world is a small place. It’s different travelling now compared with when I was a boy. In a way, travel has become easier since it’s faster. It’s harder from the security viewpoint, especially with a name like Khan… I get the free health check regularly! I go through ‘random’ security checks even though I’m cleared by the FBI. The funny thing is, the guys pulling me over go, “Mr. Khan, how’s your show?” They’re very friendly, but it is ironic.

You’ve been interviewing people throughout your career. How does it feel to be on the other side?

I’ve done interviews from an early stage since I co-hosted the first show on the BBC World Service TV. People noticed because I was the first South Asian on BBC's mainstream news.

Later on CNN, it was the same thing. In fact, I think CNN saw me and thought, “We haven’t got a brown person like him!” and offered me a job. It became tricky when I always had to defend the channel I worked for. I find it easy though because I’m a fairly open person.

I can’t think of one; each had its own merit.

Going on the first point of association mode, I'd say Peter Gabriel. There’s nothing I'd change about the interview. It was funny sitting with this incredibly shy man, who on stage is larger than life. I ran about 45 minutes – double the time I needed – since there was so much I wanted to ask.

The reason I'd re-do it is perhaps without a time limit.

Most fascinating person in your contacts list?

Uri Geller. People think I’m strange saying this because he’s a bit eccentric. He’s a paranormalist and does things like telepathy and bending spoons. I was looking for controls but couldn’t see anything that explains it. He has something...

I think even he doesn’t fully know what he has.

You wrote your new book in only seven days.

What’s your secret?

It’s focus, to some degree. My TV training taught me to type quickly and copyedit as I go, which helps. What’s relevant is the thoughts are so filled in my head that I’m struggling to get them down. It’s the opposite of writer’s block: I’m trying to block as much as I can so it doesn’t all just spill out and I get ahead of myself.

Why did you leave Al Jazeera English?

I didn’t actually leave; they keep telling me I’m still there, which I find strange when I don’t have a show. We had a change in management and suddenly, my shows were out of the equation. It's frustrating because they were the most popular; we had a great team and covered a lot of diverse issues. I’m talking to them about a new show, and we’re trying to fix things now.

What advice would you give to the Riz that hosted the BBC World's inaugural show in 1991?

I was 29 then, so I’d tell him to be more disciplined: “Keep up the exercise programme and stay off the mithai! Look after yourself because your genes make you prone to putting on weight.” It’s that dangerous combination of a Punjabi appetite and Gujarati sweet tooth.
