Two years ago today,  I got inked for the first time. For over a week I made plans with my bestie Pia as to what  it  is that I should get... I was  confused between  a dream catcher and ; ... it so happened that a few months prior to actually getting the tattoo ,  I read this piece on Facebook  about the semicolon ';'  as a tattoo and what it means. The  semicolon , as a punctuation is used when the writer decides to continue a sentence at a point that could have been its end - interesting !  I thought. After a lot of thought, I was convinced that this  was  who I was (while the real reason for not going ahead with the dream-catcher design was that secretly,  I wasn't sure about getting a large design ) Thus  al;ve  was born. Having lived  with it for 2 years, I have come to realize that it truly resonates with me as a person and my life story. I could have stopped  doing  a lot of things;...

As a kid I heard stuff like 'change is the only constant' and wondered if it has to change, why waste time trying to do anything about it - Lazy me you see ... ( I am writing a new post after 6+ years, that explains a lot) but today is different, today I had to say it. This morning when I got dressed up for a friendship day celebration at work (yes I work on Saturdays :( ) I asked Mr. Husband to take a picture of me for my before & after collection (BTW I am on a weight loss cycle again! This time on I am 100% at it) he took a good one with his iPhone 7+ and wallah! I look stunning - to him, of course and to me for the first time in a while! I sent the pic to my sister and she said - Make this your DP... and I was not sure! I have been conscious of a lot of things in the 30 years being, so much that I would find comfort in hiding behind the crowd, this was perfectly normal till I met my split personality for the first time in school. This split is a center stage person...
