Sorry for being away for a while. Times are very moving and emotional and I'm dealing with a lot of things. So I don't want to talk about MUSIC today (my first and only true love, which is giving me a hard time right now🙄😊)...let's talk about FASHION!

BEST OR SECOND BEST
Today I have just one question: Do we end up in life doing what we do best, or does it come down to doing what we do second best?
Is it worth fighting to do what you do best (and probably love best)? Or would it be more rational and logical to concentrate on what you do second best?
I know it's not a story and I usually write more...but this question is with me right now... let me know your thoughts.
I will come back to it if I have got any further in this issue.
Take care folks. I am out.

Good looks: Advantage or disadvantage?
I'm often told it's an advantage to look good. This is true, but not always (see previous chapter. "Women in business"). At the moment I experience that a good look and charming appearance is definitely an advantage. Right now I have a very intense business time and after every meeting I try to remember what I did right, what I did wrong.
Retrospectively things always look much clearer. And I'm slowly realizing that I'm developing the ability to intuitively feel what makes my counterpart happy and what increases my chances of negotiating successfully.
And I have realized what is most important in conversations: Listening! Just listen. (which I could actually do better in my private life). If I was successful, it was because I listened very carefully and reacted well to what was said through my spontaneity. But nevertheless: The doubts remain.
Especially when I had a successful meeting, the doubts start coming. Sounds a paradox, but it's the case with me. Then I think to myself again: "Did it only work now because I look good? Did I only succeed now because I am charming and eloquent? This always knocks at my door. Every time.
But I slowly dare to hope that it's the combination that does it. If I wouldn't switch on my brain and just smile nicely, it probably wouldn't work either. At least I try to tell me that time and again when I sit and doubt myself.
Well, time will show what I am really capable of.
How are you ladies out there? Are you self-confident and reflective along the way?
Until next week again and enjoy your business!
Hugz: Kiki🙏

THE BLOODY TRUTH😁
So, answering last week's questions:
1. no, I’ve never got sunburned (but my brother for example, he's got sunburned several times and he's much darker than me). We “brownies” are all differently sensitive to the sun, as you “Whities” See :) And we also have to protect our skin from the unhealthy sunrays.
2. yes, I get very dark within a short time and after only 15 minutes in the sun I already get marks of my shirt.
3. Yes, I do use sunscreen, see points 1 and 2.
So, I hope I could answer some of your questions......😁😘 Hugz:

It's the same every summer. Every summer I hear the same questions and I never know if I should laugh about it or if I should freak out. But most of the time I answer the questions politely.... inside it’s cracking me down and I think all my "colored friends" know EXACTLY what I'm talking about..... :) 1: Have you ever been sunburned?
2. Do you actually get tanned in the sun?
3. Do you have to use sunscreen? ....... And just when you think it's done, here it comes. This move... when they roll up their sleeves and hold their milky white arm next to yours and screem „Oh my gooood looook! I am almost as tanned as you are!... well....really? Come oooooon, what can I say???!!!! Ok, maybe I'm gonna answere these questions next week. See you and don’t forget to use sunscreen... 😉😋 Hugz: Kiki💖🙏 #storytelling

Sometimes all you can say is THANK YOU🙏 Thanks to the best team I can ask for. Thanks to all the fantastic people who support me and believe in me. And take my dreams and crazy plans
seriously. Who understand my love for music and put my plans into deed along with me. It takes a lot of courage and clear vision to get involved with me. Success is not guaranteed. I am all the more grateful to all of you who stand by me with their advice and assistance. I promise you to continue to pursue our common goals and work hard and I look forward to the new projects that come our way. We will bring my indian friends closer to the luxury, uniqueness, traditions and beauty of Switzerland. It will be exhausting but cool, wild and new. Thank you for being with me. And thanks to all the media people who write about me. All the radios that play my music, it is overwhelming that you value my work and spread my music all over the country. Thank you for your support.
Have a great Monday full of energy.
Your Kiki🙏💖

3 My Mom showed me what it means to believe in a person, to be patient and forgiving. How to keep a big family together with a lot of love and determination, foresight and understanding despite all the difficulties of a wild and varied bunch like us. I want to be like her and because of her I think it is worth being a better person. And believe me, I am still far away from it. Sometimes I have the feeling that I will never grow up and will always be an egoist and can never be a role model for anyone. But I try to learn. And I enjoy my mom and am grateful for the time we will have together. I know it is a tremendous gift. And I am lucky that I still have both parents. I think of all my friends who lost their parents too early and I am deeply impressed that you have found the strength to process and continue.

2 When I listen to songs and hear lyrics sayings like "you make me wanna be a
better person" or "because of you I wanna wanna change" which probably in many cases have a romantic background and are often dedicated to a lover, friend or husband, I realize that these lines have a completely different meaning to me. Of course I would also be able to question or actually change attitudes if it does the love relationship right. But basically I want to be a better person because of HER, not because of any man in the world. No other person (except my dad, but this is a mama chapter) has influenced me as much as she do. Which of course doesn't mean that I don't make my own decisions and live my own life. (Check pt. 3)

1 „Mom“
This week a close friend told me that her mom will not outlast the battle against cancer and that she has very little time left. And last year a mum of a friend of mine also died. Such messages always trigger two reactions on my part: Of course I know that this is the
natural loop of life. Nobody knows how much time one is granted in this life. Some more, some less and of course I ask myself, "why them? Why now?“ And at the same time I picture what it would mean to me if I no longer had my mom. As I told you in previous chapters, I have a very close bond with my mother and she is basically my role model.
She is generous, self-sacrificing, strong-willed, independent. Maybe I am even more afraid than other children of losing my mom because I was abandoned as a baby. The idea of living a life without my mother is something I don't want to imagine and it will
shake me to my very core when she is gone one day. (Check pt. 2)

3 I've actually experienced that I've caused the problems because I was so incredibly afraid that everything would actually happen the way I imagined it would: in a terrible way. So I believe that it is conversely also possible. It is a question of my own imagination, belief and attitude. If my mindset is positive, I can accomplish something positive. That is what I repeat to myself every day over and over again. And I deeply believe that everything will turn out as I wished. It may sound a bit naive and hackneyed, but I believe in it. So people out there, do you join in and think positively?

2 I have to connect very different people but basically they all have the same goal: Everyone wants to earn money through good ideas and concepts.That's cool. Nothing wrong about that, ain't we business people? However, there are different interest groups and if things go wrong, then nothing of what I wished will work. And again I have to do let go possibilities, because there is no agreement in sight. And in the end, of course, I stick to my motto and stick to my party. That is self-evident because loyalty and integrity mean something and are more than just empty platitudes to me. Rather, it is an attitude of mind, perhaps even a matter of character? I don't know. But what can I do? I don't know exactly yet. But what I know is that I have to think in a positive way. I just have to believe that all will work out well and that there is a solution for everything and everyone will be satisfied in the end. I simply have to assume and wish for the best and reflect a positive picture to my inner eye.

1 „Fulfilling Prophecy“
It's been on my mind these days. As I already described in a previous chapter, I am very concerned about my autonomy and independency. This also applies to business. I am proud to make my own decisions. Especially in business. Great career opportunities are opening up for me at the moment, great projects and opportunities are waiting for me. It would be a dream if only a tiny slice of these projects could be realized. However, another a huge challenge awaits me which is more difficult:

3 But I have also learned that friendships and family bonding are very important. And that this is something beautiful. And that it's okay to ask for help or advice when I don't know what to do. And that there are people who listen to me and stand by me with advice and sometimes also with hands-on help, if I accept it. I learn that slowly. I realize that it is no shame to show one's weaknesses and that it is good to exchange ideas. That
it is good to listen to each other and that a solution for every problem cannot always be found immediately. But everything seems to be less awful if you can share your sorrows with each other. It will probably be a long time before I can implement it. But I think I have understood that it is important to open up to people you can trust and grow from it, without being ashamed of it. I am working on it. How are you doing? Let me know...Huuuugz: Kiki💖

2 I have always wondered why my independence is so important to me. Why I only rely on myself and find it very difficult to take help or ask others for advice. I have come to the conclusion that this is probably connected with the fact that I am an adopted child. Perhaps it is because I was "abandoned" as a baby? Maybe that's why I got used to
paying so much attention to my autonomy and my own freedom. Because I somehow believe that you always end up alone. And you have to survive it your own. We come alone
and we leave alone. And I just can't shake it off. I take care of myself, I manage my own business and I am a strong (at least most of the time) and independent passionate woman who faces life come hell or high water.

I'm a real maverick. I enjoy the company of great people however, sometimes I feel that I need much more time for myself than other people. I can only really recover when I am alone. With myself all alone. Then I often just sit around, stare at nothing, think and or think of nothing at all. Then I'm like a kind of waking coma. And I am often silent and not
at all communicative. Basically I am a total isolationist.
And I always find it very hard to take help. I always try to master everything myself, to solve all problems myself and I only ask for help or support in case of utmost
emergency. I have learned to take care of myself and I don't mind being on my own. I have a great family which I can always rely on and great friends who are there for me.
But still I believe that I am actually alone. Not lonely, but alone.

And sometimes I jealously envy him a little bit for his spontaneity and his cheerfulness. Happy Birthday Suresh. Keep smiling and shining. And I'm delighted that we can celebrate tonight with just one day's delay, because you're on a plane from Stockholm to Switzerland. See you later!

You have to enjoy life! Travel, visit friends, have a good time, discover the world. Nobody can do that as well as my brother. I think that he knows people in every city in the world and wherever he goes, he always meets new people. In earlier times, no matter where I went, I was asked so often: "Hey, aren't you the sister of..." or "hey, I think I know your brother" and so on. To make contacts, to meet new people totally unbiased, to enjoy life and freedom to the findest... my brother can do that so well. (And for that we love you. And for even more reasons you are a phenomenal brother).

Yesterday was my brother's birthday. And as always he wasn't here and we couldn't celebrate with him. He was pursuing his favorite hobby: He was out of town. He is a real globetrotter. I can hardly remember a single birthday in recent years when we celebrated together. Most of the time it came down to us shouting our congratulations to him via video talk with a blurred picture and poor sound quality, because he was partying and enjoying life somewhere on the other side of the planet. And sometimes I get a little angry that he's never here, but bottom line is he's right!😊😎

Pt. 3
Over time, I also had the opportunity to participate in productions with the ensemble. This allowed me to get a taste of the stage at a very early age and gained precious experience. Probably I wasn't the best dancer and in the second row I always felt most comfortable... However, this time with the girls, the rehearsals, the traveling, the time we spent together, that was a very intense and friendships have developed that last until today.
My dance master was not only an outstanding artist who still enjoys an excellent international reputation today, he also designed and sewed most of the costumes for our shows himself. He taught us how to wrap a sari, how to wear the jewelry, how to do the beautiful dance hairstyles, how to walk elegantly. And, he always cooked for us when we had long weekend rehearsals. And what can I say, his cooking is still my reference when it comes to Indian food. His cuisine always tasted incredible and because of him I not only fell in love with Indian dance but also with Indian food. No idea how you are doing guys but now I am hungry and I urgently need a delicious curry or a samosa. See you next week. Hugz: Kiki💖

Pt. 2
On the other hand I remember that my parents gave me a book when I was almost 5 years old. It was called "Gita wants to be a dancer". This book was about a young girl named Gita who lived in Calcutta. Through a dance performance of a well-known temple dancer, Gita found her way to Indian dance. I was immediately fascinated by the story and although I couldn't read the text yet, I soaked up the pictures and I knew I wanted to do that too. Dancing! To learn indian dances. As luck would have it (or was it fate?) an Indian dance performance took place in our city and my parents took me along. I was electrified and I knew this was home. The colours of the costumes, the jewellery of the dancers, the music, these elegant but also powerful movements! It was a revelation. I told my parents that I wanted to learn that too. It turned out that the dance troupe was students of a dance school located in my town. The dance and yoga school is called "Kalasri" and was founded by the Switzerland-Indian artist family Keshava. And I think already one or two weeks later I a became a dance student. I was taught classical Indian dance in Bharatanatyam style, folk dances and also Bollywood choreographies. Indian dance opened the world to Indian culture for me. To Hinduism, to mythological stories, to music. To my world, to my roots. (Check my next post for the 3rd part of the story)

Chapter 4 pt. 1 indian roots.
I am often asked how I could connect and maintain this relationship with my homeland. On the one hand there were my parents, who always communicated openly with us and
unlike perhaps other adopted children, we always knew that we were not their biological children (ok, at some point our skin colour would have raised questions anyway, and I would have been curious to hear this explanation;). We knew from the
beginning that our roots were elsewhere. My parents my brother and I have spent some time together in India before we travelled to Switzerland. And from the early days we often looked at pictures of the period when my parents were in Mumbai to pick me up at
the orphanage. So we always knew where we come from. (Check my next post for the 2nd part of the story)

Chapter 3 pt. 1
The longer the more I begin to realize that business is all about tactics. Especially when you are independent self-employed person. I’m never completely private. No matter where I am, who I talk to, I never know exactly who is behind the person, whether we’ll meet again etc. I have met people with whom I work today and who are business partners for many years which I never thought it would happen. So, whenever I leave the house I put on my happy face, no matter what, it’s part of the game. OK: Sometimes it's exhausting to always be friendly and patient, to smile, to do small talk, to remember names and to always keep my countenance. But you know what? I enjoy it. It's fun to build your own business. It's fun to define where you want to go and to work towards setting your own goals. Because, ideally, you choose this game yourself, as well as the role you play, the position you fill and you set the rules yourself, choose your business partners carefully. And I love being a businesswoman. Sure, in a male-dominated business like show business, it's not always easy for women especially when you’re used
to take care of everything and handle things yourself. Even more as an "exotic" woman. If you’re good looking, things become even trickier. The boundaries between business
meeting and speed dating often seem to blur from the men's point of view. To be INDEPENDANT and to be DEPENDANT to a certain extent on business partners, this is a terrific “walk on eggshells". All the more you gotta stick to your line. Sometimes it means to let go a good deal if you are facing kinda "gluey and slippery countertrades", which are absolutely not business related. I've experienced that many times and I've learned to
deal with it. I think it's important not to lose your femininity even if the business is sometimes tough and I’m dealing with men most of times. I believe that I have very good weapons. Tact, empathy, cleverness, foresight, creativity, sensitivity etc. Attributes that are absolutely necessary in business. So, what kind of experiences have you businesswomen had out there? Share it with me! Hugz: Kiki💖

Wednesday is Storytellingday. Chpt. 2 pt. 3 My Family. Recently in an interview I was asked who I mean when I speak of my parents. And as always, I have to admonish myself to remain patient when I am confronted with this question, because for me the answer is obvious, but not for my interviewer.
Like I said earlier, I don't know my biological parents, neither does my brother. And
miraculously I never had the feeling that I was lacking anything or I never had the need to get to know my biological parents, even if this possibility might even exist. So, my adoptive parents are my parents and my brother is my brother, so I think everything is said about that. And it's funny: I even feel like I am very similar to my adoptive parents. I'm as emotional and freedom-loving as my mom and as stubborn, interested and reflective as my dad. The exciting thing is that the genes are important, but the education and the value system that I was given have an almost greater impact on my personal development. I was taught to fight for my goals. To be tolerant and interested in other people and topics and to be non-judgmental towards other people.
Perhaps this is also because my many uncles and aunts are scattered all over the globe. My Dad was born in Paris France, my Mom is Swiss. And my brother and I are not the only "aliens" in the family. So we are Australians, Dutch-Indonesians, Chinese, Italiens, Russiens, French etc. My parents emigrated to Australia in the 70's and actually "unintentionally" landed back in Switzerland. And a very important aspect why I feel so comfortable in my world is that my parents have always supported and understood my love for India and my interest in Indian culture. Also that I wanted to travel to India as a teenie and wanted to know where I come from, they have always accompanied me and never tried to prevent that. They have always accepted that an Indian heart beats in me and did not want to undermine it. And sometimes they might have been afraid that I could stay in India forever. But they let me...and I think this is the greatest proof of love
that parents can give their children. To let you go, to trust you. See you next week. Hugz: Kiki💖

Chapter 2 pt. 2 My parents
Whoo-hoo the promo for my album is still running. But I had such a longing to finally
continue writing and I am happy to share my thoughts with you.

Three weeks ago, I said it was “courageous” and “risky” to adopt children. What I mean by that is that: My brother was very sick as a baby and needed a lot of attention and medical care duringhis first years. A lot of people have said that this is total nonsense to adopt an Indian child and even more a SICK Indian child. For my parents it was clear that they
would do anything in their power to care for my brother and showered him with love
and affection. And today he is probably the healthiest bon vivant I know. In general, I find it truly remarkable that my parents did not seem scared of accepting foreign children as their own, taking care of them and loving them as if they were their own.
We often ask ourselves, "Where did I get this from?" And then some comparisons are made from uncles to aunts, cousins, etc. But adopted children, we have roots, habits,
attitudes and characters. We cannot associate with other family members or parents. We don't know why we are the way we are, why we have the look we have, why we walk
the way we walk.... We just don't know! And our parents don't know it either. And if it's only about habits or ticks...
Serious trouble can pop up. Health problems for example.
What about childhood diseases, for example? hereditary diseases? Gene defects? We have no historical insight into the medical history of our biological families. We are a
kind of “miracle bag” for ourselves as well as for our parents. And isn’t it in the very nature of humankind to be afraid of the unknown and uncertain...? That is why I think that my adoptive parents are probably the most open minded, courageous and strongest people I know. To take such a risk.... with all consequences and without "right of restitution" :)
I have the utmost respect for it and I am so thankful for the love I could and still can receive from my parents. Probably this is a reason why I am very happy and balanced in life. I feel loved. And that's a wonderful feeling.
I hope you're in good hands. Hugz: Kiki💖
