What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
The boon/bane of doing this daily is that whenever there is a problem with grammar,
Punctuation,
Or anything related to the English language;
.
All of it is aimed at you,
Oh we know you write,
Can you look at something…?
And that something is a three page paragraph or an official looking letter that has to be submitted to the school or a bank…!
Other than that recently,
I was tasked to develope the wedding card that invites all the family members,
And let me tell you something…!
.
Each time I read it,
It feels like I don’t know how to write;
😢
Because I see mistakes,
And mistakes,
Sometime in English sometime in Panjabi;
.
And to get a fresh perspective,
I read it in the morning and come across new mistakes each time…!
😫
(Khair)
I’ll be finalising it today and giving it to print—
If things work out;
About the day before,
It was tightly packed and some of the work that was left will be completed today;
Most of the work yesterday was of turning and forming shapes of round metal blanks into the required ones…!
The same will happen today and I hope I will be free soon and will come back home to shop for essentials for the wedding…!
Coming back to the prompt
My morning ritual…!
Often the alarm wakes me up at seven in the morning,
But,
some days it automatically happens that my eyes open at 6 or 6:20 like today…!
.
When my eyes open, I wake up and check today’s prompt and mould my thinking into a certain way that takes shape into this days prompt…
.
After spending a few minutes on the phone,
I leave my bed and freshen up;
Wash my face,
brush my teeth and use the restroom…!
.
I usually eat a fruit or two before heading out for my morning walk,
where I plan my entire day,
And all the things that are supposed to happen…!
.
While I’m on the walk I write the morning prompt and pen down things that I have to do;
The tasks that I have to accomplish today,
While that happens,
The mind makes assumptions and sets targets on its own;
.
I come back wash my face and hands because my pet joins me on the walk too,
And
I pet her oh so much…!
—
Later,
I have my morning coffee and talk with my family,
Take a bath and leave for work after wishing them Goodbye…!
.
That’s the first few hours of my routine,
And the rest follows…!
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
A tragic news…
—
I just got the news that one of my bua,
For the English readers it’s my paternal aunt,
She passed away today,
Early in the morning around 4:30 or 5…!
—
I hope her soul finds peace in the afterlife…!
🕊️😔
Are we ever ready for someone’s passing…?
I thought to myself as I’m writing this,
Aren’t we afraid that something like that might come to us someday,
The sweet embrace of which we all have to get a taste of one day;
—-
To our surprise,
we will,
All of us will be there
to experience it,
But, never know how it feels…

Waakiye
