Love and Relationships by Ritambhara Sahni

This article is for females only to understand men better ,  get the man you want more attracted to you and create a great relationship.
So, when my dad and me - Ritambhara Sahni use to teach at our finishing school years back. A lot of females would ask us these question .....
- Who pays on the 1st date or who should usually pay ?
-  Or should it be dutch ? 
-  What happens once you are in the relation with the man ? Then who pays ?
- Should he ask you to contribute each time ? 
- Should i take charge at times ? 


There was always that confusion there.

Should the man always pay in a relationship by Ritambhara Sahni

Well, In the 70's and 80's in India we were brought up with a mindset that the man is the provider and the woman looks after the house. So it was understood by many women that the man always pays and she never really needs to pay. But she needs to look after him and his family and be a good housewife.  Also women having their careers was considered taboo in so many families and was never appreciated. That was the mindset then.

Today we are in 2016...a lot has changed. In majority of families girls having a career is a must. So one good thing is that now girls do have a career and can be potential providers. Now a days both men and women have careers and married couples who work hire domestic help and continue to live their lives with their careers. However, in terms of dating the above mindset remains the same that the guy always has to pay and be the provider irrespective of the girl having her career :). Also on the flip side many houses have females who work and look after the house. So they are providers and housewives. - Both unfair right ?? 

However...do read ahead....

Well, money is a necessity of course but not everything but it changes the way people think and it changes relationships. So yes , I think this REALLY matters, so please do keep an open mind as you read ahead. However  the bottom line of this article is only to get the man you want more attracted to you and make the relationship last.

The reason why every man should pay on the 1st date as said by many love guru's for men is because he is asking the lady out and he wants to make her feel special. Also when a man decides to split the bill on the 1st date then the impression a female gets is that he does not want to look at her more than a friend but just a buddy. Also if he makes the girl pay when he asks her out then any girl would get switched off and infact feel insulted. She would feel insulted as he asked her on a date to make her feel special and he wanted to spend time with her and she accepted. So yes on date 1 if he has asked her out ...it is given that he should pay.

 However, according to the survey done in the recent years your behavior on the 1st date matters A LOT. We surveyed many men and there were many men who were so turned off by a woman’s attitude towards money that they instantly switched off from her only because of her attitude with money.
This is a controversial question for some ....i agree to that as well...but read ahead...
So years back and even as of today as we ask this question to so many females that who should be paying in the relationship ? The answer of majority of  women always is that - THE MAN SHOULD PAY :).  Like he is the man , he is the gentleman ...so he should pay.
Ok....so in today's time if i ask females this question that will you do anything that your man or any guy you are on a date with or have been dating asks you to do ?
Ans:....some said depends and most of the women said 'NO' - they wont. They will only do something when both agree. The most important word here is 'BOTH'.

 on love and relationships

I'm sorry to break today's reality to you but this is really unfair. If you feel that a guy always should pay, you are indirectly asking him to pay to be with you. And what you are definitely saying is that - ' This relationship isn't equal'. You are saying - ' I am worth more than you and thats why you should pay for it. Thats the message you are actually giving.
On a date if you do not offer to pay at least your share , according to me - Ritambhara Sahni and the surveys done all these years it would truly be inappropriate.  If the man does not pay, then that is absolutely inappropriate . Most men said that they would love to pay but they said that if the woman just does not offer to pay every time, they would not want to be dating them.

What men want.

Girls, the reality and the truth is that you need to treat your partner just like you would treat your best buddie. ...that is your best friend. You cannot differentiate how you would treat your best friend and boyfriend in this aspect. You wouldn't tell your best friend that whenever we go out...its you whose always going to be paying. You treat your best friend as an equal , so why not your boyfriend. Maybe you do less...but at least you contribute like a friend.
Also i have been asked this question by many girls that my guy makes me pay always...he never pays.
Well, if the guy expects you to pay always ...its the same thing ...he thinks he is more worth it than you ..

Make the relationship last by Ritambhara Sahni

If your guy plans on a vacation and you can contribute for some part of the vacation, you should put that foot forward. Because what means the most to a guy that you are making an effort to contribute and to be together as a team. When you will not make an effort to contribute , the guy is definitely going to feel used just like your friend would if you would do this with her. A good , confident and self respecting man will feel he is being taken advantage of if the girl does not contribute. This really does not have anything to do with money - but a lack of gesture.
When your in a relationship, treat the relationship just like a relationship with your best friend.

Top 3 fears of Ritambhara Sahni in Life

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.
