She takes India on with vim and vigour

ALL 0 watchers watch her from the wee hours of the morning. They `Jumpstart' the day with her, in fact.

They `Club [V]' and party with her till the wee hours. She's `Very [V]', MTV's envy, [V]'s pride.

You simply can't miss Miss India Canada, the newest of the V0's VJs, Kim.

She was LIVE on channel Chennai city, recently. And we tuned in for an interview.

Short and sweet as her name, Kim's also one of the youngest of the VJs, who has just finished high school in Canada. We ask her to rewind and tell us how she landed in the land of `bindiya'.

It happens only in India. That, someone who comes here after winning tickets to India, finds herself in a love affair. It was love at first sight for V0.

The channel asked her come for an audition. She did just that and went back to Toronto saying she needed time to think. Kim came back almost inevitably, and fell in love with India. ``Yet, my heart is back there, in Canada,'' she quickly adds.

``I can see myself working here for a little while,'' says Kim, who hopes to study law. ``And, of course, get back to my dance career,'' she says. Kim simply loves dance, she used to teach dance back home.

From Canada to Colaba, she indeed has come a long way literally, and now she's learning Kathak in India, whenever she finds the time.

Right now, she's constantly on tour, going about the country, for the series of V0 LIVE concerts.

``It's been a fabulous experience,'' she says. Apart from the technical aspect of learning, she's also learnt about people and to respect them.She's learnt to live by herself and travel, all alone in the last three months in India. ``Staying away from home, I have learnt the value of friends and family. This, has changed me as a person,'' the bubbly VJ says.

See you after a short break, Kim. Do come back.
