Scorpio Tattoo

Was contemplating on doing a tattoo for a year and kept on telling my mom that i will do it one day. She was not happy at first but after some time i think she got bored and joined me in the fun as in what tattoo you planning to do and where would you do.
Me: Chinese fonts with scorpion written on it on my forearms
Mom: Cool but please dont do it on your forearm. Arms would be better...
Me: Ok...on my arms..you happy!!
Mom: Yes

Then came 28th February...i had downloaded an addon for Firefox called piclens. And to check typed in scorpion tattoo. Found lots of them but only one caught my mind...it was known as Tribal Scorpio (which i got to know from the aunty sitting behind the Tattoo shop)

Send across mails to few of my friends and colleagues just to show that i would be doing this...they liked the sketch and told me to go with it.

2nd March, decided to meet up with friends...cancelled it and then rushed down to Al's Tattoo in Bandra. Luckily it was empty (considering it was Sunday) i showed the design on my mobile and my hands were shaking that time. He transferred the image on his PC took a print out. Told me to wait for a while......

Then came the time when Arun (Tattoo artist) sat down on his chair and me on mine...he put some gel on my arms and hit the paper on it. The scorpio image was inscribed on my arms. He set up the machine and there we go the first hit of the needle made my hair stand up. After some time i started to feel dizzy…Arun stopped for a while made me drink Tang (felt so good). During that time I called Alwyn..as he wanted to check out my tattoo.

Next round of needle pricking…again after a while started to feel dizzy….he made me sit again and have some more tang. Next sitting he just completed the whole outline.

Then it was lunchtime..got free lunch from Arun (thanks man needed that), waited to get my tattoo filled up. It took almost 2.5 hours to get it completed….and finally I wave bye to everyone and ride my way home. Mom liked it…I was so happy about it….

That was for the day….

Holi Day!!!

Got inspired by my cousin bro Ankit and again started to write up my blog...writing almost after a year. I don't know what should i do to get myself inspired.

Holi weekend just passed by and it was fun...met up with my building friends played with some colours for half an hour and then sat on our favorite spot to have Bhajiya (onion based stuff) and some chips. As A's wife b'day was on the same day we got cake also. Reached home by 1 pm and went to take bath, the damn colour from my face would not come off..tried rubbing more soap in but could not get it off...did it for half an hour and got bored. Got out and changed myself and lied on my sofa to watch TV. Planned to go to play cricket by 3:30 pm but the sun outside dampened my mood.

Then had to go for Argentine Tango class at 7:30 pm in Bandra, met up with Blake, Tim and Simmone, did some initial moves and some techniques it is fun but so difficult. I am not a fan of same set of moves....but it kind of different on how to keep your body posture straight, legs moving perfectly and your turning it the most important. I might join this class when Tim starts it in August. Got to have some moves to just impress the girls on the dance floor ;)

Then drove my way back to Malad for A's wife bday party at Morokko. Reached M in half an hour from Bandra (a personal best of mine). Everyone had just settled in before i reached so no one was angry that i was late. Lots of laugh, drinks and good food was the order of the night (Gulped in 2 Old monks, i kinda started to like it). Then decided to drive back to Juhu for South Indian Omlette. Between 7 of us gulped in 2 mysore masala omelette and 1 cheese omlette. Finished it off with Watermelon juice.

That was my Holi for you.....not eventful but memorable
