OUR FITNESS INSPIRATION -
1) What would be your definition for YOGA? Ans) Yoga for me is a journey of the self awareness, it not just teaches you the balance of mind, body, breath and soul but also life. The balance of yogic postures for me is balancing my life and emotions.
2) What is the age range of people who can do YOGA? Ans) Yoga can be done by anyone starting from 6 years to 80. However I know people who are more than 90 and are still practicing yoga. Yoga has no age restriction, it only needs the will to start the practice.
3) Are there any pre requisites in connection to body types that are required to start YOGA or anyone with any body type can enrol with you for doing YOGA? Ans) No,there is no need for any pre-requisites for body type.All body types can practice yoga.

4) There is a saying that YOGA helps curing diseases and certain ailments?How far do you believe in this? Ans) Yes, yoga definitely can cure ailments.Yoga infuses deep sense of positive vibrations and develops a very positive attitude in the practitioner. The willpower of a yoga follower is ready to fight back any disease.I have got success personally in managing the disease of high BP of my clients and have also got success in curing PCOD of two of my clients with yoga ad meditation.
“
5) Give us one basic and most important difference that we can spot between a person who does Yoga and a person who does not,in first glimpse? Ans) Attitude and behavior is the first reflection which can be seen in a yoga person. A yoga follower is generally seen calm and carries a positive attitude.

6) How far can YOGA contribute to body building like toning of muscles , six pack abs,biceps and triceps,pelvic muscles? Can YOGA be a substitute to going to GYM? Ans) There are variety of High Intensity regimes in Hatha Yoga for the arms, core and legs whichs aim at not just strengthening of the muscles but toning as well. There are various pelvis and hip-opener exercises which keeps the pelvic muscles strong and flexible. Ashtanga Vinayasa flow, a rigorous yogic practice has a series of routines which works on building strong abdomen with Inversions and arms balances for the biceps and triceps as well. Yoga is a complete workout of the body where you lift your own body weight and gain strength despite of lifting external weights like you do in the gym. However, I cannot say it can be a substitute for the gym,as no workout can be compared with yoga. I respect all forms of fitness.

Tattoo
Interview With Tuhina Dutta
Taken By Pitanjal Datta
“
Where to get inked is a personal thing. So it is better if clients fix the place where they want to get inked. Hand being the least painful area we do suggest the hand for the first timers. The place plays an important role in deciding the design because they are different designs for different areas.
Tuhi--
�
1) Your favorite tattoo design you have inked.... Ans) It is a difficult question because every tattoo I make ,be it small or big,simple or complicated ,has it's own story and beauty in them.. But yes at the moment one of the favourites has to be the tattoo I made during the heartwork tattoo festival, New Delhi in December,for which I was awarded. It will always be close to my heart and a very special moment.
The Fashion Identity Edition:40
There is no such place as fashionable. Because fashion keeps on changing but tattoos are permanent,so choose the place according to your convenience not in terms of fash-- Tuhina Dutta ion.
Tuhina Dutta quotes
“
Sometimes clients come up with their own design and we beautify them or customize them or sometimes we have to convince them which design will look good on them,which is a very difficult procedure. An artist can help you chose a design but the client needs to have an idea about what he/she wants to carry on his/her skin for life.After the design gets fixed we start with the stencil and then finally start inking.
Tattoo
3) If someone gets a permanent tattoo and wants to change it after some time what do you generally do...the procedure you follow? Ans) They have to get a coverup done,a tattoo can be made on top of the tattoo which you want to change or hide,the result being,the previous tattoo will not be visible at all. We do take pictures of the tattoo you want to modify or hide and work on designs which will be best to cover that tattoo .
5) A word of motivation to all aspiring Tattoo Artists. Ans) Be serious about your work.
Concentrate more on tattooing and less on all the other things involved in the industry. Your work should speak not your attitude. 7) Is getting inked painful.? Ans) Painful but bear able else it would not have been possible for people to get big tattoos. Pain is very subjective,for some it is nothing but for very few it is painful indeed but I am a light handed artist so people say they feel less pain when I tattoo them and I think am gifted that way.
8) A misconception that you would like to change among people about "Tattoos". Ans) Tattoos don't make a person
The Fashion Identity Edition:40 bad. Tattoos do change the perception of people but there is nothing to be concerned about. Tattoos don't make people arrogant,situations do. Having a tattoo won't make a person a drug addict or a rude person all of a sudden.
9) An important change that you would like to see or bring in the industry? Ans) People who want to become tattoo artists need to know more about hygiene and the seriousness of the industry. There is too much competition now so you need to educate yourself a lot about art . But this industry is blessed with some humble tattoo artists too whom I truly respect because of their work and their attitude. They respect junior artists and their attitude indeed shows their upbringing.
10) Your inspiration in your profession.? Ans) My mother and yes my boyfriend for all the criticisms and the fights for my bet-
-terment.They are the reason for where I am and how I am. I do follow tattoo artists and their work and try to implement them in my work.
11) A celeb on whom you would love to ink on.? Ans) Sapna Moti Bhavnani.She is one of my inspirations for life. She is a ball of positivity. 12) A design you though of inking but never did? A design that you would love to introduce to the people.? Ans) There are many designs I want to ink but the beauty and simplicity of them is appreciated by few in Kolkata where I am based. I will love to do more linework infused with dotwork because according to me
Tuhi’s Work Brilliance !! they can be carried out throughout life and they have their own beauty in simplicity.
