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...

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...

Hola good humans, Today's blog is not the part of my series but just an underrated theme I wanted to pen down from a really long time. A very personal yet an universal issue. 'I want to just be!' 'Can I simply just breathe!? ' 'Please let me be on my own for a while.' Each and everyone would agree that they have uttered or felt these words many times in their lives. For some people, it is on frequent basis, while for others, it is occasional.  Time and again, I have heard this notion that people are becoming more and more intolerant with time. Is it so? Maybe yes, but not because they are developed that way. This impatience stems out from the negligence on our part.  We fail to recognize the need for 'me time'. It is highly underrated need of a human being. Just like we create a comfortable space for people to share their thoughts, in the same way, our heart also needs that time and space to express what is it that we need. To channelize our deeper d...

Hola Amigos, Don't you think?  Before this COVID 19 virus entered our lives, we were all living in the material world we created for ourselves. But as we are forced to stay indoors, we all have moved way past our materially luxurious lives. A life that went by the hands of clock has now come to a halt. At once, everything seems futile and a thing of the past. Now that the real world in which we reside in has turned too hard hitting; we all have shifted to our dream worlds again. The universe which is like a willful escape from our present times. A world of Art and Fiction , where stories are weaved with magic. Haven't we all got back to our favorite movies, shows, music, podcasts or books?We are seeking a break from harsh realities of today. We still want to believe in magic and maybe that's why supernatural, dreamy or science fictional stories are capturing our hearts with much more intensity now. Recently, J.K Rowling along with her team has started Har...

Thank you readers! Such a startling beginning right? If you are reading this blog of mine, probably you have read some or all of my previous blogs and all I wish to say is I absolutely appreciate the time, love and critics that you gave me during this journey. I am grateful to each one of you for supporting me for the past 2 years of Redrose's Ardent Ruminations . Yes, you read that right, today my blog completes its second year of existence. It was this day in 2018 that I decided to gift you with the chunks of my world of thoughts. Now that I look back, I do not see much regrets but a scope for refinement. I commit to enhanced look and feel, a new perspective for your mind/heart and also, more interaction from my end. Share with me what else do you expect from #Redrose on the other side of your screen.  Let this upcoming year be the one where you get one step further, from being mere readers to active readers. The ones who crave quality content and support others to c...

Hello humans, So feeling all bored and depressed in this quarantine? Well, instead of waiting to get back to life yet again why not just appreciate the time we have for ourselves? I truly feel that this standstill was much needed for human world (though not in such a negative way as it has come). Till now we were just living like a robot, following a set lifestyle, and we failed to realise that the only basic elements which make us different from robot are our abilities to think, feel and understand. The abilities which we kept at the bay, while being busy in swimming through our monotonous and tiresome lives. We forgot that it is vital for us to relax at times. We need to take breaks to get back to our work with more enthusiasm. We missed out that all the facets of time are cardinal in our lives. Just like what we do in our present shapes our future, in the same manner, what is to be done in the present is decided by reflecting upon our past. We usually focus on the forme...

Ever thought that April fool day can also mean something else? Here is my new meaning to this most celebrated day.  This April Fools Day instead of making a fool out of people, make yourselves FULL - full of hope, full of faith, full of happiness, full of will, full of wisdom, full of strength and determination.  Why does every day have to be about others? Why not celebrate this quarantined April fool with yourselves? Instead of playing pranks on people, prank your mind and heart into being productive rather than sitting idle. Choose people to help you grow more fuller in their presence rather than choosing people to prank on.  Use your mind to plan your days and weeks ahead than thinking of tricks to fool others.  Fools(full) day is celebrated on first day of April, which marks the spring season for the northern side of globe which signifies growth of all the elements on the planet. The southern side experiences fall/ autumn season that brings change...

                                   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 w...
