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.

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.

Should the man always pay in a relationship ? -- answered by Ritambhara Sahni

Should the man always pay on a date when in a relationship??

Ritambhara sahni blog
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.

Ritambhara Sahni Review
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.

Ritambhara Sahni on love and relationships

 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'.

Ritambhara Sahni review
 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.

I not only ran Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For the Performing Arts but also had my finishing school known as Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For Self Esteem. We covered many many life changing topics at my school and most of them eventually led to self esteem.


Ritambhara Sahni Review
Ritambhara Sahni


Today I will talk about a topic which most of the girls and women would talk about those days during the years 1996 and also today as I run belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni , i still have been asked this question by so many many women in so many different ways.
The question is - Why does my guy / my man treat me this way ? I really want him to be that ideal guy - the right guy.
Well, the answer is in the question itself - he treats you so badly, so casually, like taken for granted is because you allow him to do so...you have given him the permission and that's why you are getting this kind of behavior from him.
You definitely cannot stop anyone from behaving badly but you can control the way you react to their bad behavior because if you don't they are definitely going to walk all over you and treat you lower than you are. Its really at that time you have to decide if you should stay with them or go, if you should say what you feel or just keep quite and let them walk over you whenever they want.
Really ??? Why would you or anyone do that to themselves ??

Why do so many young girls and women permit this behavior time and again ??
Of course its a great reason and the reason is that we love them too much. We love that person so much that you accept anything to be that person....even this disrespectful behavior. Yes you totally accept it and you make excuses to yourself and to the world trying to accept this behavior so that you can be with the person you love.
But we are really forgetting one thing which I need to tell the world from my point of view and that is that love is a great emotion but here we are dealing with Love primarily being a 'selfish' emotion for so many of us today. You want to be with someone you love coz you feel good with that person and to feel that feel you are doing whatever it takes to be with that person. We shall talk about 'selfless' and 'selfish' love in my future posts. Coming back to the topic now ---be it 'selfish' or 'selfless love' - you are being treated the way you are being treated because you think very low of yourself. You do not think you are worth a better behavior from your man / guy because you are settling in for what you are getting from him.
You obviously are and have ways to stay with him because if you leave him, how are you going to feel and more important how will you find this with someone else ??
Mostly in another situation where 'love for a person' would not be involved - you probably would leave or have a different behavior & attitude and different beliefs  & ideas and would make completely different decisions.
This could mean that in office your colleague puts you down, but you don't let that happen, instead you stand up for who you are and do not take that bullshit. You definitely respect what you are and know your worth at work and are quite sure about yourself and thus no one can put you down. You love what you do and respect your work and yourself to be let down. So yes your behavior, attitude, belief and thoughts with your profession and the love of your life is different in this case.

This means that you could advise somebody else to do the right thing for themselves in the exact same or similar situation but when it comes to you , you would not be able to live up to what you preach to others and simply create reasons and situations to stay in the' non-worthy 'relationship. So again a different set of thoughts, beliefs behavior and attitude when it come to you.
The usual reasons and excuses that I have heard of is that....

- oh - he is just too busy, his job is demanding - its not his fault, or
- that's the way he is but he has a lovely side too which I cannot never find n the whole world, ...and many more.
Also I have heard girls and women say,....

 'marriage'- Ritambhara I tell you - its an adjustment. In relationships you really need to be understanding and believe me I am, I forgive and forget and that's how my relation / marriage has come this far... Really ???? The truth is that you are not being honest with yourselves - you are simply justifying to yourself the situation that you are in .

Ritambhara Sahni reviews
Love and realationships advise by Ritambhara Sahni




Ladies - you need to value yourselves more, and you definitely need to communicate honestly with your man / guy so that he knows what your worth for you to come to a level of 'worth it' for him as he is to you. You have to value yourselves high for him to value you high and if you do not communicate honestly about what you don't like and like in a relationship and letting that person walk all over us again and again, then you are giving him no reason or inspiration to change !! Forget change, his behavior will become worse for sure just to see his limits of bad , casual and 'taking for granted' behavior with you. A time may come that he does something so obviously disrespectful like ' actually going with another woman in front of you' , ' taking away all your finances' , and worse things i have witnessed but cannot mention here. But such a time may come and then you would not even be able to make excuses anymore and would have no choice but to leave.
But Ritambhara Sahni cannot say bravo to that . I have seen everyone's friends and family say ' ...

you were really good but its great you saw him finally for what he was'...'now good riddens to bad rubbish' .

My gosh this is not the end....this is where it gets worse. This is the time which is actually the most dangerous for some. You definitely need friends and family to get you strong and make you realize your self- worth but seriously you are your best friend , teacher and guide. Your value for yourself was already low....in this period u definitely think of how long and how much time you gave the relationship, you feel you wasted time and do not feel like being with anyone.
I have heard so many girls say....
- ' now I am done with men' - 'I don't want a man'
or even moms say - ' after my daughters experience - she never wants to marry now'.
But what happens when you give up on love ??? when you give up on finding someone ??? or just have not dated anyone ?? You have created a hugh gap of time and distance ,

and yes I have seen girls eventually start to believe and feel .....

he just did this one bad thing, otherwise he was ok ?? Infact he was good. At least I had someone !!

I cant do better than him and I deserve this behavior from him.
I would say then you actually deserve this behavior from any other guy too. And yes i have seen girls find new love with similar abusive relationships. What really has happened here ????Well....your self worth is the same !!!!

So if you are finding the same things again and again , you are doing the same things again and again is something that you must have heard or read !!!

Well in this case , you need to value yourself higher in order to change the guy or change what kind of guy you get.

In order to change what you going to get , you need to definitely value yourself high and pay attention to your gut and instincts , be it the start of your relationship or a relationship for years. By instincts I mean - moments where you feel -' this may not be right' . Think of your realistic ideal partner and if his behavior is any different from that you expect from your ideal man in terms of the level of value he is placing on you then it is something to think about.
When your gut feeling tells you that 'somethings not right', 'i should not be with this person', 'this is not how a man should behave'......that is just half the bridge crossed. Because most of the women when they reach here....they act against their guts and instincts as their self worth is so low that it refrains them from making the right decision.

You need to have enough self worth to make that right decision and act on it. You need to be fearless to act on your gut. Your fear is that you will not find someone like this guy....or you may not find someone else...But hellooo....we really don't need this guy if he is continuing to behave the way he behaving. You need to have the faith that you will find someone else and again the faith can only come from raising yourself higher than you already think.

You have to go towards the fear to be fearless, you need to take a step back when something is not right and you need to be absolutely positive and certain that you are eventually going to find the right ideal guy.
You have to communicate what your worth in your actions, behavior and words as well as we all are worth it !!
Ritambhara Sahni wants you to REMEMBER:
'When our self worth is low, we can never make the right decisions and we can waste YEARS OF OUR LIFE deliberately., debating not acting on what we know because we don't feel good enough'
' Its very easy to do the wrong thing but extremely difficult to do the right thing.'

Transform your sense of self worth once and for all to not only to clarify your instincts but to trust them. Trust your instincts and act on them . When you act on your instincts - you level up in life. You do things that are scary only because they are the right things to do and they will improve the quality of your life.

Top 3 fears of Ritambhara Sahni in Life

Ritambhara Sahni Belly Dance Institute Mumbai
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'.

Me - Ritambhara Sahni with my students at my very 1st belly dance class in Mumbai - Colaba Center - Year 2005
i then established Belly Dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni in 2005

 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.
