Every rising sun of December 2025 brings the chilling breeze which says, "It's time to say goodbye." This goodbye has many things to say. We often do not find time to reflect on it but with BlogchatterWrapParty, we preserve this time as well as memories. 

So, the second chapter of the wrap party is the plot twist of 2025—share one unexpected thing that changed your year creatively or personally.

PLOT TWIST 2025

I was looking to transition to a new job. I applied for two posts; one was a good one, and the other one was a little less good. I wished to get the good one, but it did not happen, and the less good one was given to me. This was a kind of step back. I took the call and stepped back in this post. In the beginning, the path seemed challenging, as it was not in sync with what I wanted. I patiently endured it and waited for the right time. I got that moment after 3-4 months, when I spoke in detail about the strategic improvement plan. Everyone appreciated it, and most of them were implemented immediately. I liked this kind of move. Life has not been this favorable for a long time, so this favor meant a lot to me. This helped me to regain my lost self a lot. Further, it also helped me to show my true talents.

    Had I been in your place, I would have done exactly the same. Because, that's generally my approach in such situations in life. One, everything might not turn out the way we want, but what we can do is to try to adapt to the way things turn out. Two, always have a macro-view and look at the long-term. I am glad that your patience and perseverance did pay off.

Judgment fear

  Reaching the end, now I have discussed with you everything we can do to show self-love. This topic will be incomplete if I do not discuss this one barrier, which has the capability to pull down everything.  If we have open wounds, we can dress and heal them; if we have ulcers, we can take care and medicine to get them healed; if a fire breaks out, you can call the fire brigade and help, but what will you do if you are judging yourself or you are being judged? Judgement fear is like a cancer that flourishes within no time. It ruins our self-confidence and self-esteem; it kills love and understanding between me and my inner self; it convinces us that self-love is not for us; it is a property of few.  The sting of judgment is poisonous. No one escapes it. I had learned how to fill myself with positivity; I knew how to keep myself charged and encouraged; I took good care of self-compassion and self-care. In this balanced state I fell into a situation where I offended one o...

Discovering my cooking mind

By watedroplet
Moving out of the house remains the biggest dream of everyone. Mine was the same. Studying in a college was quite good. I hardly remember missing my family. Getting a job was icing on top. Now life seemed settled. This was the moment when I felt relaxed and content. Then I started thinking about what to do next. My mother is a good cook. I always longed to cook like her, both creatively and tastily.      In my school days, I saw my friends cooking tasty dishes in sixth class, and I was nowhere. I also wanted to cook good food like my mother and like my friends.      I still remember the first dish I prepared. It was "aloo bhuji." I prepared three or four large potatoes. My potatoes were getting sticky to my kadhai, but still they were not cooked well. I put water on it, and it started sticking more. I have used more turmeric also so that I get a good yellow color. I also used more cumin powder.      My family members said it was okay, and whe...
