Desi Diva : The Introduction

“The basic sense of the term (diva) is “Goddess” or “fine lady” and it derives from the Latin ’divus’ meaning ‘divine’.” – Wiki

“Diva is a female version of a hustla”- Beyonce

 

You’ll find countless of both positive and negative connotations when it comes to the word “diva”. But in my world, a diva is a no nonsense, classy and elegant woman. She can come across as arrogant at times and yes, she’s stubborn, but only because she loves to do what she does.

And in my case..thats writing.

I love to write. There is no other sentence that can put it clearer to you than that. I write about everything, though many of my topics may concern a specific society and  people. Thus the desi in the diva.

I enjoy reading books from all genres, and I tend to buy Newsweek and Times Magazine while The Economist is once in a while. As for music, RnB, Hip Hop and all desi music, naturally.

I don’t think I want to give more of me away. You’ll see and learn about me through my posts. Or the quizzes I take and post on this blog! :)

Stay strong,

Mamashaal (( desi diva ))
