AG: British Asian Community und Jugendkultur
My identity is defined by myself, by my conscience and confidence which is a direct outcome of my upringing and my mould by the society around me back in my native place, beyond politics, beyond nationality, beyond religion, beyond my colour and beyond the prejudices of anybody around me.
May be to put it in a more naked rural Indian manner, where my origin lies ... I humbly pray not to be offended ... I just don't care for what they think because I know who I am, because I know this is just me.
---------------------------
For me it is important to know myself irrespective of land, religion or any other factors and if somebody does that I just simply don't care since it is not my problem. It is their problem.
---------------------------
I am proud of myself and my work. My attitude toward the world is that I will never do anything against any person and enjoy the freedom of my own. I expect all others to do in the same manner and thus hope the wohle world live as a single family irrespective of all differences among them.

Creating a new virtual space. Beyond motherland, nation and milion dollar question .. where do you come from? Wir sind alle kreuzberger.

Rooting from god of small things.
Meeting tow sides, parachute oil and German carnival.
Being in love - both with a suitable boy and a blond blue eyed.
Reflecting two sides - feeling comfortable with idiappom, nulappam and sauerkraut.
Indian born in Germany - what I am I feel by myself.
What you feel who I am is your concern.
---------------------------
Come with me ... I show u my curry vibes.
