Revival of Redrosewrites!

Image
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

Lockdown story of Me to New me!

My lockdown story Hello readers, I think we have moved way past the point where I can ask for apologies for not being regular with my blogs. But all have plans and so I had some too. I actually wanted to pen down a new blog only after a new beginning but I just could not miss today's date without sharing the overload of emotions I am feeling today. March 14, 2020 So before you wonder what is so special today. Actually, this day, March 14, last year, I left behind the city of dreams - Mumbai with a never ending hope to get back to it for my graduation. But alas! We all know life had something else in store for us. Not that I am filled with anger and regret for it but attachments, that's the thing with me. Something that tear me down when given a lot of thought into it. For more than 2 years, I had been living in Mumbai. I created so many bonds with people, with places, oh! And obviously, the dogs and cats that I came across. So, parting away with that without really realizing it

All about life, goals and satisfaction!

Greetings dear readers, Let's begin with some basic questions today - What is our ultimate goal in life?  What is it that we truly seek out of it? What makes our life complete? I bet everyone has varied answers to these but I believe on non material level, all we want is to derive satisfaction out of  the work we engage in, throughout our life. A manner in which we could admit that we lived the life we wanted and we passionately created it for ourselves. How can we really get this satisfaction? In my view, to get to this point,  All we can try is not to let anyone else face the challenges that we did. We all face hardships in our life. There are obstacles that deviate or just stop us from getting to our needs.Once these moments are crossed, we must look back at it to question ourselves -  What were our hopes?  What kind of help were we seeking in that situation?  What were we lacking in that situation?  These questions might sound superficial but when we ponder over it, we would g

Life happens for you or to you?

Oh! Hello beautiful readers, We are just 3 months away from new year or I should say, 3 months to go for 2020 to officially end. Am I the only one who feels that 2021 should come soon?! Well never mind, whichever year it may be, I will be here with my words for you all. It has been a long time since one of my closest friends suggested me to cover a theme. I came across this quote by Tony Robbins, This quote has time and again given the boost to lead our lives and make all our dreams a reality. However,this resonated with what my friend suggested. When I read this quote, more than anything, I focused on the word ' ME ' in it. There are times when we feel powerless, like nothing turns out as we plan and that's when we stick to this thought that we are the victim of the things that happen in our life. There are many aspects that could spring this thought in our mind, but here let's focus on one of it. How often do we fall in the trap of others' expectations? There are
