Tales of Ear piercing :)

Last weekend, I got my ear pierced and so now, I have a second stud in my ears :). It was not a spontaneous and impulsive decision. I had been contemplating about it for over a month. What was difficult for me was to convince my parents to let me pierce it. It was a meticulously planned process wherein I bought my self a magnetic second stud, wore it for a couple of days and got people actually complimenting me on how it looked good and finally made my parents agree that it looked good. Then I had my cousin sister, who had formerly pierced her ears, talk to my mom about it for me. And finally, I got the green signal from my parents!!! Yey!!!

Then I myself fixed a date and went to Bhima jewelry, with my mom, to get a thattan to pierce my ears for me. I was shockingly brave up to the point where I was sitting on a chair ready to get my ear pierced. The trigger for my nervousness and tension was when I saw the thattan heat the small needle in flame and it become a red hot metal. He marked my ears and then sprayed volini to numb my ear lobes. I was tapping my feet nervously on the ground and looking at my mom sideways for encouragement. When he approached me with the needle and the earring I suddenly folded my hands and pleaded to him "Aiyo venda please venda!!" meaning oh please don't! LOL, everyone sitting in the room started to laugh at me. I was flushed and embarrassed and then summing up all my courage, sat through the whole painful process of getting my ears pierced. I swear I could hear my ear lobes cursing me.

After that, my mom was telling me about how I kept complaining that a guy ran a needle through my ears, for the first time, when I was a little girl. She said nothing has changed much since then!! LOL. But in my defense, I'm really scared of needles!!!! Now it is over a week and I can truly say, it was all worth it :).
