My First Tattoo

Dec 20th, 2023

Interesting story of how I got inked. About 4 years back suddenly one day I showed interest to get inked, have a tattoo on my wrist. My husband had a tattoo many years back. I was always against tattoos. I used to say it’s just for show off and the stuff like that.

First thing which I did after decided to get inked is, found a good reliable, experienced tattoo artist. After serching the internet finally found one. I paid 200 bucks at the time of booking my appointment with the tattoo artist.

I was so excited, but at the same time scared. Scared of how much pain I have to bear while going through the process of getting inked and after care. I keep on talking to people who have tattoo on their body. Making me sure that its safe and I don’t have to go through much pain. I was not sure whether I will be going to get tattoo done or not. I started searching for videos of people who got their first tattoo and their experience. Some said there was not much pain others were bothered with pain. I was so confused.

Another important thing is to choose a design which you wish to get inked. Its very difficult to choose. Google will provide you enormous answers and images but you have to choose according to your own preference and choice because it’s your body where the tattoo will remain throughout your lifetime. Choose wisely.

Now the day came, on which I was having appointment with tattoo artist. I didn’t got the courage to go after watching so many videos. Actually I was scared of needles. It gave me enough reason to withdraw my decision of getting tattooed. Another reason was aftercare and risk of having infection.

Internet provide vast information, sometimes we got confused when we get abundance of knowledge. What to do. My 200 bucks got wasted. I gave so many reasons not to get inked.

Another year passed. Again I got interested to get inked. This time I didn’t watched any video but searched for which design will be good as my first tattoo. Again paid 200 bucks to the same tattoo artist for booking appointment. This time I ask him I paid you last year 200 bucks will it be adjusted when getting a tattoo from you. He said yes it will be adjusted in final payment. I was thrilled. This time it was not pain which stopped me to get inked. It was the fear of after care, risk of infection which stopped me to get inked.

Now 400 bucks got wasted. In year 2022 I started my weight loss journey which gave me strength. I feel better. More healthy more strong 💪. I keep questioning myself why I didn’t have the courage to get inked. This year definitely I will get a tattoo on my wrist.

This time I choose another experienced tattoo artist with 15 years of experience. Booked an appointment for Sunday but can’t wait and had my tattoo done on Thursday itself. This time I was sure. It was a great experience. My husband went with me to the tattoo studio. I was holding his hand all the time while going through the process and pain. My tattoo was done by THE TATTOO SHOP, NEW DELHI, INDIA. The ambience was so nice and hygienic. They use new imported needle for my tattoo. Kept me motivated with kind words. Light music was playing. I really enjoyed, it took 30 min to tattoo get done. Before that, we took 15 min to choose the design. The Tattoo artist tell me about the aftercare. I have to be careful for 30 days.

I got my first tattoo on 21 Sep, 2023. Yeh!! So happy.

Celebrate each day of the year

Apr 28th, 2023

We all love to celebrate our happiness in different ways and we all enjoy when we celebrate a big or small event of our life. We celebrate birthdays, festivals, when we achieve our goals, when we buy new car or house etc. Today when we are living a fast pace life, we do celebrate special days but in a different way. We post our happy pics on social media and feel elated by the number of likes we get on the post.

Search on google every day, you will find something or other to celebrate, recently we celebrated International Books Day, some days back it was Earth day celebrated. So, what I want to convey is that each day should be celebrated, so that we never have any reason or time to complaint. We should be so busy in learning new things, improving skills, self care that each day becomes a celebration. ‘Life is meant to be celebrated‘.

‘Being happy is being healthy‘ and vice versa. On 29th April, it’s International Dance Day. So, what are your plans? Go check, a place nearby where it is being celebrated and be a part of it. Being busy with your passion is the best thing in life, it will give you immense pleasure and happiness which you will not get doing anything else. But if you are in a job where you feel stressed all the time and you don’t find time to relax and rest. Take a break. Watch a movie, eat your favourite food without bothering about how much calories it has, listen to your favourite music. If all this doesn’t work then check out a place nearby where some or the other day is celebrated be a part of it. Forget all the stress and have fun.

COVID outbreak had taught us to take care of our health and we should live life to the fullest. Be kind and helpful to others, then only we can survive. Don’t just breathe, eat, sleep, repeat. Our life is very precious and we can contribute making ourself happy first and then make others happy too. Look around yourself, you will find something or the other which will give meaning to your life and to others too. Spread awareness about climate change. Do something small or big about it. You will feel happy when you will get to do it. After all, at the end of the day, happiness is what matters to all of us.

We all have a small area in our home where we have some plants. Early morning just visit that place and see all the plants, see new leaves, see new flowers blooming. By just seeing this you will be motivated and feel fresh in the morning. Water the plants, take care of them as they take care of our environment.

Each day write down your thoughts, write down the task which you have to complete the next day. This will help you to be organised. It doesn’t matter whether you completed the work that day or not. But you have a clear vision, what you are supposed to do. Clarity, focus, priority these three things will make your life easy.

Everyday will be energetic, full of happiness, something to celebrate about. Be focused, motivated, happy and healthy always. ‘celebrate each day of the year’

Dance

May 6th, 2022

Happy May to all. The theme for the month is Dance. How dance helps in staying happy? Dancing is good excercise too. Have you seen a sad person dancing? Yes, you are right we dance when we are happy. I grew up watching many actors dancing in films and from those actors my favourite is Madhuri Dixit Nene. She is an actor, dancer and I have seen almost all the movies of her. The way she dances, with so much grace, I haven’t seen anyone dancing like her.

There are many Dance Forms around the world and most popular ones are:

• SAMBA

• SALSA

• BALLET

• BOLLYWOOD

• TANGO

• CONTEMPORARY DANCE

• BELLY DANCE

We all would have danced on DJ Music, in college fest, college freshers party or may be at a wedding. It makes everyone of us happy. ‘DANCE IS HAPPINESS’. We see so many dance competition going on, and celebrities judging them. Children participating in these competition are a treat to watch. Tell me the last time you danced and what was the occassion. Now a days zumba is also very popular, there are many centres providing zumba classes specially for females. It’s dance plus exercise.

Dance as a hobby is good for your overall development. It makes you active. It makes you more positive. It makes you happy. You always feel enthusiastic. There are many dance schools where children are being send by their parents to learn dancing.

There are people who never went to any dance school and still manage to do good dancing is because of their love for dance. Dancing also burn unwanted calories also and doubles your happiness. Not only you enjoy music but also lose weight. I will share more knowledge on Dance in my upcoming blogs. Stay connected, Stay safe.

Happiness is, doing what you love

Mar 20th, 2022

‘Keep smiling always’, ‘smile please’, ‘be happy’, these are some of words we often say to our loved ones. Because, we care for them and want them to be happy and smiling always. What is the difference between smiling and being happy? It makes me think that, those people who are happy from inside, may not smile a lot but have achieved a level of happiness, peace, satisfaction in their lives that no one can steal from them. The people who are happy in every situation they face, and stay strong, are the ones who attain true happiness in their lives.

See the image above, which I shared, assume that it’s you, seeing yourself in the mirror. Just focus to please the person you see in mirror and not others. If you have the ability to please others and make them happy, think, wow ! How talented I am! Why not make myself happy first.

One thing I want to mention here is that, we happily give money to beggars, but avoid buying things from small vendors, by this we are encouraging people not to work hard. If you want to give something to a beggars, then give them food, water, cloths, free education but not money. Instead, buy from small vendors, who are working hard, day and night to feed their families well. Encourage them to do more hard work.

Charity is good, it gives happiness. When you help someone in need, gives happiness. It makes you feel capable, to help others. Through you, God is sending help to the needy. You have so much money, you can buy anything, latest gazette, precious jewellery, you have all the facilities at your home, you have servants 24×7 at your service. You must be the happiest of all. Do you think it’s true? Think again, more the money, more you will be worried to protect it from theft. You must think of a job or business, which gives you immense pleasure, that, the money which comes with it becomes bonus for you. Then you will fully and truly enjoy what you do.

Do you know, who goes to Casinos? People who have money in abundance but don’t know how to utilise it, people who want to make money quickly and easily. You don’t have to have a professional degree to play at casino. You just need money and luck. Some just loves to try their luck and enjoy, and go there. You already know the harmful after effects of instant and easy to cook food. That rule apply here also. So, be steady and consistent in whatever you do (job/business).

While choosing a career for yourself , we always get attracted to highest paid jobs and choose a professional degree in that field. Ignoring what we are happy in doing. May be the things in which we are good at will not fetch enough money, that’s the reason why we convert our thoughts and liking for higher paid jobs. It is very good that you are career oriented and know, at the end of the day money will pay my bills and feed my family. But don’t compromise on your hobby or passion. Give some time for that also. Who knows it may become source of passive income for you. You are persuing your hobby and also earning. Wow!

Always think of opportunities, your focus will be on being positive all the time. Most of the time we feel disappointed when we are rejected by others. Others may have opinion about you, but always, always, always remember don’t reject your dreams, yourself, just for others. This kind of situation is faced by most of career oriented people. Always say to yourself, everything happens for good. If I didn’t get the job may be I will get better options than this in future. Keep trying, never give up and definately you will succeed. It’s hard to make a mark in this competitive world. Focus on what you are good at, your strengths and act accordingly. Here I will share my personal experience with you. When I started blogging, I was not sure what I will write about, how readers reaction will be, but I keep on writing and before publishing my blog, got so excited about the response which I will get. Each and every like and comments counts, means so much. The blogs which don’t get much response makes me do better next time. I never think of giving up. Keep on trying, keep writing. Writing makes me happy.

I will tell you story of a Financial Advisor, He started very well and was very positive about what he is doing. Daily he went to his clients, expecting that they will do some investment through him and he will earn from it. After continues negative response from people, he one day give up. Instead he could have learn skills, to positively close the call. Failure makes you learn new things which success never does.

Today is International Happiness Day, 20 March, 2022. Stay blessed and happy today and always.
