What’s something most people don’t understand?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
After coming back home tonight and going through the entire day,
I remembered how we celebrated
Ashtami
Where people open doors to young boys and girls and give them poori cholay, halwa and a slice of raw coconut
With some money..!
(Poori are Fried flatbread that becomes big and crispy,
Cholay are a mix of chickpea and Bengal gram that we make,
Halwa is a a sweet dish that we make out of sooji and sweetened water that is very popular here in India)
As it’s considered to be a blessing as kids are considered to be the little versions of G0d as they are pure and their minds haven’t been adulterated by this world…!
And when I look back at it,
It seems wrong when people invite them in and they give them food and watch them eat the food,
Sometime people even wash their feet as it’s considered equal to taking the blessings of the G0d…
It seems borderline predatory now I look back and think….🤔
In our case we pack the boxes 8 or 12 and give them outside our house,
There’s no point in inviting anyone in and disrupting our privacy by giving anyone access to ours…!
Coming back to the prompt…!
Something that people don’t understand
Something people don’t understand is that,
Once a “NO” always means a “NO”
And when someone tells you that they don’t like it,
Or
Don’t want to do something or
They have a bad feeling about something they might genuinely mean it and it’s safe to get away from that activity or that person when you engage in something that they don’t like…!
Not all days are equal;
There are some days I write a whole lot and there are some where I just exist,
And when it’s the latter,
I feel worthless,
Like my life has no meaning and there is no point continuing it anymore…!
—
But,
I’ve grown to believe that these days,
These sad days are a part of life and I cherish the happy days more after a string of sad days and remember what I live for…!
Buying what I can afford to pay in cash
I know it’s a trend nowadays that people buy things on emi and flex it,
But they aren’t able to afford it or live paycheque to paycheque to afford things like cars, bike or even phones and I mean the expensive ones like iPhones and Samsung ones;
Swinging more towards the Apple ecosystem;
—
Because at the end of the day,
All of this pomp and show will not help you pay the bills but stand out as one of the major chunk of it…!
—
An extension of above
Would be having enough bank balance to buy a thing that I’m plan on buying,
Three times over at least…
And if I don’t have enough money,
I don’t buy it…!
Because I won’t regret buying it later…!
A good deed never goes unrewarded and a bad deed never goes unpunished…
Self-explanatory isn’t it…!
So keep on doing good,
And living your best even on the bad days…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
