I remember getting a tattoo in 2022, when I was working at VEC. I got it cuz bohot cheeze fucked up thi. I felt tattoo was one thing I could control toh wahi kara leta hu.

I always believed that everything in life should be balanced. Toh straightway BALANCE ka tattoo karna socha. The one I saw had the horizontal line that’s inside A, balancing on top of the letter instead of being inside – to depict balance as a symbol too. I decided not to get that horizontal line and just wrote the word BALANCE without the line inside A in the middle.

I thought I’d get that line when everything is perfect in life. At that time, BALANCE meant earning lots of money running my own business. Today, balance means something completely different. Every year, my priorities changed based on what was necessary. I didn’t know it back then, but I’d call that balance too.

Today, balance means something completely different than what it was in 2025, 2024, 2023, etc. At no point was my life perfect. Something was always off. Money and business good? Health down. Health good? Social life down. Is social life good? Personal life down. Personal life good? Business down. It’s not perfect but I still think of it as a balance. Ki yehi hona tha for the next phase to begin, for the next step up, for the next lesson.

It’s more like I have come to accept things as they come. Not settling but choosing the best option and accepting it. Not regretting it.

Balance today means being at peace with my choices. Doing things dil se. Being happy. Bas hain. Baaki toh marna he hain benstokes.
