Re: I am a proud DESI
I dont think the most important thing is desi or gori or whatever other cultural or ethnic backgound....the most important thing is whether you're a good person. I've seen good and bad desis, good and bad goras, good and bad african americans etc etc. For sure, be proud of what and who you are.
I aspire to the precedent set by my sister-in-law. She is beautiful, stunning...in her looks but more importantly, in her heart. When her husband invites 50 guests for the weekend and tells her about it on Thursday, she takes it all in stride and serves her guests as if they were all sultans. With a happy smile on her face, with a sparkling clean and welcoming home. Cooking with vegetables that she tends and grows in her own garden. While taking care of her 4 kids who are older/college and marriage-aged now...but still. She is selfless, beautiful and caring down to the smallest detail whether she's faced with a family weekend or with company of 50 or more on short notice. Nothing can "ruffle her feathers" and she really enjoys what she does. How I'd LOVE to be more like her!
