To sing or not to sing
The supreme court has stated that the National Anthem must be played before the screening of any movie in public theatres. This has caused quite a discordant note among the citizens. Some are for it and some against it.

Various professional express their opinion about singing the national anthem at movie theaters to Monarose Shelia Pereira

Singer Anup Jalota Sure it's good thought; but why only before movies? Why not before my concerts too; or first thing in the morning every TV Channel too should air it.

Actor Kabir Bedi Cinemas are a great place to enjoy our National Anthem in Dolby sound; our flag fluttering vibrantly, in Panavision. Great decision! It's long been happening at most Mumbai multiplexes. I heard some great renditions at PVR Cinemas by classical musical icons

Lawyer Shane Cardoz Yes the National Anthem should be made compulsory as a matter of pride; we all rise up together and feel touched when the National Anthem is being sang/played. It revives my memory in school where we used to sing the National Anthem every day. It's such a story feeling and should be preserved by making it compulsory. The feeling of being Indian through the National Anthem is truly divine

Actor Kiran Our Anthem is our pride, our heritage. When we stand and honor our flag and Anthem our hearts swell with joy. It blinds and unites us all in unison. I am happy that it's compulsory to honor it.

When a room full of people come together and sings soulfully as one, it is always beautiful, whether it's in a place of worship or a parade. But should singing an anthem be made compulsory just to prove to my neighbor I'm patriotic? No,it certainly shouldn't be. We are a billion people with a billion different views towards patriotism. If we choose to get employed and pay our taxes,we are patriotic. If we choose to eat, sing or dance to the Western cuisine or arts and yet not forget our Indian heritage, we are patriotic. We don't have to sing an anthem or exclaim slogans every walk of the way to enunciated our deep rooted love for the country and it's heritage. Because a lot of the love also comes from the fact that India chose to be a democratic, encouraging its people to have a freedom of opinion, which I strongly believe in.

Tabla player Anuradha Pal Yes of course it should be played to instill nationalism and patriotism that is badly needed to be inclucated in the youth who live in India.

Ritambhara sahni review

RJ ARCHANA It is a great way to build a relationship towards your nation. A fabulous opportunity for parents to showcase their love for the Nation to their children when they take them for films. It is a great way to build the love for our nation; which helps build a strong sentiment for us Indians for our country

Toxic People and why you should keep away from them by Ritambhara Sahni

Ritambhara Sahni

on Toxic People and why you should stay away from Them

Stay away from toxicity in life
by Ritambhara Sahni

I have realized that I am in love with imperfection. Perfect things and people have always given me stress and brought me loads of unhappiness at times. I would like to be perfect in what is required and necessary to be perfect at but perfection in everything is way load of stress.

Being human is complicated as opposed to being open to the world which is just awesome to be - but when you are open to the world you are also open to the negativity that spills from it. The major thing is that the people you are close to should be the ones who are worthy of you. Self - love comes from self - esteem and being around positive people makes great lives.

We are all human and not perfect in every way. We are going to make mistakes, make wrong decisions, hurt our near and dear ones, do things to get our way and say certain things that should have never have been said. Its ok I guess because like I always say for me - failure is the best teacher, we all do eventually learn from our mistakes but we sure do rise from them as we are all human. However toxic people are people who don't learn from their mistakes, they don't feel they are wrong even if they hurt you, they always feel they are right.

Toxic People Are :

Control freaks :
Your relationships should let you be what you want to be and not how your friend / partner wants you to be. You can take and give an opinion or an idea but it cant be imposed or forced in any direct or any indirect way. You should have your own space and independence in a relationship and in no way should you feel restricted in any aspect.

No one should control you - says Ritambhara Sahni

Takers
A relationship works both ways, both work towards it to make it work, both do for each other. If you end up doing alone and try your best to make it work and the other person just does not do anything then your the one who is giving everything to the relationship. When we invest in a relationship , we mostly invest emotional energy and that's why we are the most hurt when its one sided. If we would direct our emotional energy to a deserving relationship where the other person equally works towards building on the relationship just like you are, it is totally worth and you are away from toxicity.

Don't always be the giver
says Ritambhara Sahni

Will never be there to receive you:
You call them as many times or message them , they will respond selectively according to their mood and convenience. They may even keep you guessing if they genuinely could not respond or was it on purpose and will always make you wonder about them as they have already manipulated you into believing that they want u in their lives but will play emotional games and pull you towards them and not be there for you at the time of your need and will have fake convincing excuses ready.

Find true friends - Ritambhara Sahni

　
Recognize the manipulator:

They lie either completely or say half lies. They will make you believe your the best, they will bring you to the top with their words and then crush you somewhere and leave you guessing. They will make you doubt yourself. They will make you feel wanted and then disappear. Also they will tell you things that you really want to hear and will make you very happy but they steal your happiness away. They tease you and make you feel bad and they then make you feel worse for not understanding that it was just harmless teasing. Also if they have your secrets , they will accidentally leak them out and say it was an accident and you wont be able to blame them for it. Its useless arguing with manipulators as they continue to manipulate. The best is to stay away from them as they are toxic. They’ll only hear things through their negative filter, so the more you talk, the more they’ll twist what you’re saying. They want power, not a relationship. They’ll use your weaknesses against you and they’ll use your strengths – your kindness, your openness, your need for stability in the relationship. If they’re showing tenderness, be careful – there’s something you have that they want. Show them the door, and lock it when they leave.

Ritambhara Sahni on staying away from negetivity

The one who does everything for you not to follow your dreams :

I believe you need to dream to achieve. That is the whole truth even behind 'the secret'. If you think it, and you think positively about it, it will happen. If you have someone in your life who puts you down about your dreams and does not encourage you or does or says anything directly or indirectly that brings your dreams down for you....that person is surly toxic. The people who tell you that you won’t succeed are usually the ones who are scared that you will.

They are Liars

If i have to lie to someone so that I don't hurt the person and the person only has to gain, then it is ok. A lie that will enhance a relationship and not hurt anyone in anyway, is worth it. However lying for personal gain is what a toxic person is always about. Such a lie will always affect the relationship and make it absolutely unhealthy.
You are who you are and not what others want you to be:
If someone constantly tells you - oh my God ! please do your eyebrows, please wear good cloths etc., you lack intelligence, you have no clue about things, you need to be fit...tries to change you constantly. Does not appreciate anything good about you and constantly tells you that you are not good enough and you need to change according to what they think is right, please stay away from these people. You will never be good for them and they will never admit it is the truth. By making you feel small, they feel awesome. Its them who are insecure and by putting you down and seeing it affects you they gain control on you. These people will make you doubt yourself by slowly convincing you that they know best, and that they’re doing it all for you. Its your life, you know what right and wrong, if you feel you don't look good in the mirror , its up to you to decide what to do. If someone finds you dum , then its their problem not yours. Be with people who appreciate you for who you are and not what they want you to be.

They Cheat
Be it your loved one, your family, your friend, they may cheat on you. I guess anything does one could be forgiven depending on the situation but however if cheating becomes a constant habit , then its time to move on from this relationship. Toxic people will cheat after being forgiven. They are surly not worth it. Please keep them out of your life to attract someone better and worth it.
Their Problem is always greater than your problem.
If they have a problem, its a big deal. If you have a problem greater than theirs, it's really ok as you can deal with your problem but they cant deal with their problem. You need to 1st help them fix their problem and then you could deal with yours. Their cellphone would hang and they would make a big deal about it but if you lost your cellphone, its not a problem to them. If people don't care about your problems , and worry about themselves the most - move on to better energy.

Ritambhara Sahni blog

These people are not toxic as a whole , its their behavior which is toxic and that behavior becomes their habit. Toxic people direct their smartness and intelligence which they have in abundance towards negativity and they definitely lack emotional intelligence. They always will choose to be with kind hearted people who are givers in a relationship as they will definitely get it back from another toxic person. They will always break the kind persons heart who has given so much to the relationship.

Toxic people are dangerously negative to your soul and heart and they should be kept away away away !!! If you are the giver in the relationship and you are trying each time to make it work but you fail and you are unhappy each time, its time to let go and rise to better meaningful non toxic relationships.

Ritambhara Sahni- happiness in being alone

I'm single by choice, in fact i'm really happy and good on my own. I totally believe that only if there is someone who makes you really happy than you already are and you do the same for him then it is worth it to be with that person else i'm good on my own. I'm absolutely proud to be single.

Find Happiness within - by Ritambhara Sahni

A lot of people i feel are confused between being alone and loneliness. Although they bring you to the same physical state, there is a distinct difference between the two in terms of emotions.
Here are a few differences that’ll help you identify being alone from being lonely.

Ritambhara Sahni blog

1.. Loneliness and being alone lead to isolation for sure but loneliness is felt at a point when you really dint expect that and you cant get that back either. eg. the loss of a loved one and being alone is finding freedom in isolation.

Alone is full power from within - Ritambhara Sahni blog

I lived with my father. He never really use to keep well, so I was always by his side. I loved my father so much but when i lost him in 2014 all of a sudden i felt shattered and lonely. However, my brother said to me that i have done everything in my capacity to look after my father and there is nothing i could have done more. His time had come to go. However, he said that now i am free from a responsibility and can go ahead and live my life and do everything i ever wanted to do. My brother helped me to find my freedom in isolation and made me realize that i am only alone and not lonely at that point in time. From a sense of emotional abandon and disconnect I got myself to a state of physical and mental freedom and connected more with myself.

2 You can cry and hide or you can laugh for no reason.
I decided to be so busy and yes i actually had to tell myself to forget about my father completely. Every time i would think of my father i would get busy and divert my mind. It was not easy but i did so. Whenever a loved one leaves you naturally or unnaturally and their is point of no return, the best thing to do is never to look back as the more you do that you will end up hurting you and lead you to a point to feel lonely. Of course i have not forgotten my father. Its been 2 years and i have written so much about him and my relationship with him. I have realized that he is in a happy place somewhere and i a feel strong and powerful on my own today and i have his strength always within me. I could have chosen to cry and hide but i chose to be occupied and laugh for no reason which i have loved doing ever since childhood.

2. Loneliness is depending on someone else for happiness and sometimes you end up blaming yourself for it but when you are alone , the happiness is your own and it only comes from loving yourself. When we try to find happiness outside of us , we are dependent for happiness elsewhere and it means we cannot be happy on our own. You are longing and feeling bad for someone or something that does not exist rather than enjoying and being happy with what you have. Somewhere you have the fear that if you don't have someone with you, what will happen. People tell me you must have a partner as what would you do in old age. One of us has to die before the other. I would feel really bad either ways. I'm glad i looked after my dad until the end but when he died , he died suddenly, i was not at home that day. Even if i had children, we don't know what happens at the end. I would not want a family today to support me then. I would want a partner only if we make each other happier than we are. I'm peaceful and happy alone and content from within and i simply follow my heart each time.

Top 3 fears of Ritambhara Sahni in Life

Ritambhara Sahni

Ritambhara Sahni - My top 3 fears that i have in life

Yes , i fear. I do get scared many times. I actually fear of situations unknown that could get me to the following state :

My 1st biggest Fear

I Fear to fear :
If you have done nothing wrong and you are true in your heart , then why fear ?? Thats what has been inbuilt within me since years and all thanks to my Father - my hero. I used to be bullied in school and always felt there must be something wrong with me and thats why i go through this but a day came when my father asked me in several ways if i did something wrong and i dint. I would never want to be brainwashed to feel i am wrong when i am right. We meet several people daily and we can attract various kinds of energy - we never know if its good or bad.I still stand by the fact that if i have done nothing wrong , i will stand up for myself. 'Even if the whole world stands against you and, if you are right - believe in yourself and face everything - Never Give Up'. There are many times when i feel bad and upset at various kinds of situations, i cry it out [ that helps me ] but I do end up fearless with all the teachings of my father which i shall share below at the end of this article.

My 2nd biggest Fear

I fear to be a coward : I have battled many situations in my life. I lost my mom at a very young age and looked after my father for years who was very ill. I lived in the hospital with my father for 10 long years and managed to run my institute - Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni. i wanted my father to live and so i worked each day towards my work and my father. My father always told me - 'Come what may - Never Give Up' and i follow that. Each day that i wake up today there is too much on me after my father but i just tell myself -' Ritambhara - you have two hands and two legs - you have the world....you can do it. ' and that keeps me going and i make a new dream come true and i make a problem go away daily. Yes, i NEVER want to say ....' I give up'.

My 3rd biggest Fear

Insecurity - I have always been happy with whatever i have had. God gave me this magical talent to dance, and when i was given the freedom to dance and express by my family , i thought i had the world. Whenever i dance - i have nothing to fear, nothing to feel insecure. Dance is me and i am Dance is what i felt ever since i danced. However , one day i asked myself --- 'Ritambhara - what if you dint dance ever ??? As in you dint know about dance....then what ??? How would you feel what you feel ? --this fearless and this secure ? How ???. Well i'm glad i thought about this and i spoke to my father once again. My father said to me - 'If you believe in yourself - you will never be insecure' . Wow so true....it impacted me always and till today. The day i stop believing in myself is the day i will be insecure. I never want to stop my belief as belief in me has made me achieve everything that i want...Today is the best time of my life and as i look back , i love most of my choices and achievements. I shall continue my belief in me and there is a lot to do and explore in this life.

My father had his own finishing school and he has also worked with leading finishing schools such as Trade Wings , Oysters etc... where he taught subjects like Public Speaking, Personality Development, Salemanship, Marketing, Communication Skills, The art of Listening, and many more life changing topics. All thanks to my father i started to teach Grooming to Men and Women and worked with him at his lectures at various finishing schools. I took table manners and Poise and Posture workshops with my father Mr Suresh Sahni for a few years.This also led me to start my own finishing school by the name - Ritambhara Sahni's institute for Self - Esteem. and of course i would also run my dance institute along side - Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For The Performing Arts.I was also always proud to be listed in the newspapers with the leading finishing schools back then and even now of Anuradha Patel, Aruna Mookhey [Former Miss World 1999- Yukta Mookhey's mother], and Cory Walia. Here is an article about me in the Chitralekha Magazine about my finishing school and me teaching a few students Table Manners and Poise and Posture.

The reason i talk about my fathers Finishing School is because i sat through all his lectures and the 1st topic taught at his school in Public Speaking was- ' How To Overcome Fear'. I guess just sitting there and listening to my father speak made me learn how to overcome fear .Well, there is just one way to overcome your fear --- that is to go towards it.

My biggest lessons in life have been my failures and mistakes, i fail many times in big and small ways even today but i have always embraced my failures, gone somewhere and cried but grown a thousand fold from them.

I love to acknowledge when i go wrong , because in turn this is what helps me to rise up.

I want to work till i live my last breath , want to keep failing and growing in Life coz failure has been my best teacher. Making mistakes have been my greatest lessons of life. Loved whats gone by and excited to explore that side ahead. Life is a sweet struggle and THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

Love you Papa....I know you there with me always. you were my strength, you are my strength and will always be my strength.
