YOU ARE WHAT YOU CONSUME!

Do you ever wonder how rapidly online or E-content is consumed by the people these days? What does that make you think ? Does it mean that people are so free and available that they spend their time watching various movies/ series, playing games, consuming e-books, creating and posting videos and lot more? As a joke, we might agree  to it, but truly we all know that no one is all that free.This heavy intake of content only means that even after a long, tiring day, we prefer to watch / hear/ read something rather than taking rest or letting our thoughts wander boundlessly. Sometimes we avoid our thoughts just because we fail to understand them. When we come across some similar plots or story lines, we find it bingeworthy. It makes us feel better that we are not alone in this feeling. We always look for validation or assurance outside ourselves and when we do get it, we feel relieved.
Sometimes our choices are also driven by curiosity. As human beings we are sometimes limited in our experiences so we take in content to explore those experiences or the feelings that may feel forbidden or not mainstream. 
While we wish to know ourselves or explore something new, we also succeed in escaping the harsh realities of our lives. Human beings may take on the problems head on but from time to time, we fantasize and look for utopian or even dystopian settings, which are duly fulfilled by online content.   
Now that this COVID - 19 virus has broken out into the world and we are all quarantined indoors, we all have got much more time to dive deeper into understanding our own thoughts and feelings, thereby making more sense out of it. We need to understand that the content we see, the content we read and the content we like, defines who we are and how we make sense of everything around us.
Maybe the Universe is guiding us to look, know, understand and learn ourselves better, while we are home quarantined. 
Stay safe!
Stay healthy!
Stay in touch with yourself!

Quotes and Anecdotes - 5

Hello people, How is this Sunday evening? A bit rainy, chilly and cozy maybe? So, might as well sit back and have a cup of tea or coffee while reading this short and sweet blog. Here begins the part 5 of #quote_anecdote series Time and again, we have heard that knowing and understanding are two different concepts all together. Every time that we know something does not necessarily mean we have an understanding about it. Understanding is such a key term in all walks of our lives. If we miss it, we lose everywhere.  Fail to understand the people at work, there is chaos.                                                                            Fail to understand people in relationships, there are misunderstandings and fail to understand ourselves, there is no profound meaning in life.   But here when I use the word 'understanding', I mean something more than this. Understanding is not just about relating to someone else's thoughts to get their perspective but it is much more.

Revival of Redrosewrites!

To be honest, I never thought I was getting back to this ever, but I miss being an old fashioned blogger who writes about whatever strikes to her at any point of time.  Last year just went by like a gust of wind, too strong and all at once. I would not say it was miserable but it was well, just me trying to adjust with not-so-appealing affair called Adulting (still failing at it, but now I know to laugh it off!). The biggest change that you might notice is the edge of overdramatic expression in my writing.  All my old blogs read like coming from a mature and composed person; but this struggling at adulting Redrose version has learnt new hacks. All this time I thought problems and real-life crisis make people serious but along this topsy turvy ride, I have learned to take a chill pill and take life as it comes (I might get some smirks from my friends as they see me panicking every next hour ;))  Over the course of one year, the biggest learning I have got is that as you grow people wil
