First Award: 10 random things I like

Yeah I received my first blog award by Fashion Fairytale. She is a cute German blogger. 


And now I have to name 10 things I like...



  1. My family: I am so happy that I got them. They are always there for me and I can trust them. Especially my sisters. I love to meet my mum & dad & my sisters and spend time together. We don't live near each other, so these "meetings" are quite rare.

  2. My boyfriend: Although we are living together, I love to go out with him. I hate being at home all the time. A perfect date would be: going out to a nice restaurant and afterwards to cinema OR cocktails at a cool bar and then dancing.

     
  3. Friends: On a Saturday evening meeting friends spontaneously and spend a nice evening. That's fun!

     
  4. Summerrain: In the morning when I wake up and the rain is pattering down on earth. I love the sound. It is nice to know that it is summer and it is not cold outside.

     
  5. Music: I can't imagine a life without music. Sometimes I hear a certain song and I can remember special moments.

     
  6. Online-Shopping: Even on sundays all shops are open in the internet. I love to order clothes at H&M, make up or other lovely things at ebay.com. I can hardly wait until the postman comes and brings me all the wonderful stuff I have ordered. I love unpacking them.

     
  7. Chocolate: Yes, I have to admit I am a Chocolate-Lover.

     
  8. Books: I love reading books especially written by Barbara Wood. You must read "Virgins of Paradise". It's sooo awesome. I like good family stories with suspense.

     
  9. Breakfast: I love taking a breakfast on Sunday mornings. Waking up late and taking a yummy breakfast instead of lunch. With various bread rolls, smoked trout or salmon, cheese, jam, fried eggs, ...

     
  10. Weekend: I love my weekends. There is nothing better than having free time. Just doing what you want and spending time with your loved ones.

Now I'd like to tag:

Desi Tag


Many Desi-Youtuber do this TAG, so I thought, why not myself too!

But first what does DESI mean? Here is an explanation:

Desi (தேசி, ; देशी, ਦੇਸੀ, دیسی) or Deshi (; ദേശി, দেশী, देशी) or Desiyudu (దేశీయుడు) refers to
the peoples, cultures, and products of South Asia. The word is originally from Sanskrit (देशी deśī), literally meaning "from the country" or "of the country". 




Desi is a word that the South Asians use as a self-designation, without mentioning any specific country of origin and refers to a broader common identity. It also refers to the subculture of the South Asian Diaspora .



So here we go:



Which desi country are you from?

My parents are from Sri Lanka, but I was born in Germany.





Which desi languages do you speak?
I speak Tamil. In the past I went to a Tamil school every sunday in order to learn my mother tongue.  I am really happy to be able to speak Tamil.



What is your favourite desi food?
I love kottu roti, idiyappa biryani, dosa, ... *Yummy*



What do you think describes you best as a Desi?
Although I was born & raised in Germany my parents always tried to make our culture accessible to me. When I was a child I couldn't understand why but today I am really proud of my mum and dad. Our culture is my identification! Even if I live here, I won't forget my origin. My brown skin will show it anyway...




If you could meet one known Desi person, who would you like to meet?
That would be Kamal Haasan. I love his movies. He always comes up with new ideas. His films are not always mainstream. That's great!



So that is it! Now I'd like to tag:
