These ravens keep following me, I don’t know what it means, But, Those raven look at me too keenly, Maybe they are questioning what’s taking so long, Or, Maybe they are here just to cheer me up,,,!
I don’t know why, These ravens keep following me…!
If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be?
05/09/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It’s going to be a late night post as it’s 23:45 hours as I’m speed running through this post…!
Well,
To be honest a year would be a whole lot but if push came to shove,
I’d choose the year 2016-2017 when I passed my class 12th…!
Of course with the current level of knowledge…!
I would perform better in my exams and become a straight a student instead of someone who was a in the lower B’s…!
Opening the doors to better things in life because of how numbers are treated once we leave high school…!
But,
If you were to ask me,
I’d rather choose some instances to replay instead of a single year…!
Like the time I helped my cousin sister get married…!
Or,
The time when I enjoyed myself by being a part of my cousin brothers wedding and took care of all the work that happened in the background…!
Or,
It would be holing my cousin sister’s daughter or my bhanji for the first time and the tears that streamed down my face…!
Or,
The day I met another once of my cousin sister’s daughter on the death of my father due to disputes which were running from a long time but they forgot and came to our help when I shared with them the sad news…!
It’d be better to pick or choose,
But,
Life rarely goes according to our plans—
And that is the beauty of it all…!
We think we are in control,
But,
We are a problem or two away from breaking down…!
Khair…!
It’s good to remember the things that happened in the past,
But,
There is a reason that it happened in the past and is the thing of the past,
It teaches us to be better and create better memories to remember the past by…!
What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
I wish all of you a very happy janmashtami…!
May Kanha ji remove all sorrows from your life and bless you and your family with happiness and wealth…!
I think I’ve become someone who hasn’t been affected by how life treated me…!
Loss of loved ones, people giving up on me, relationships falling off and many other disappointments which would force me to become cynical and shut myself off forever…!
But,
None of that happened…!
On the contrary,
All of those became a learning lesson…!
I embraced those who departed this world one last time and etched them into memory,
Spending nights remembering the happy moments and shedding tears once I remember the last embrace and continue living my life the next day like it never happened,
The same thing to repeat a few months later…!
I let people go without pretending that I never loved them…!
It was love from day one and sacrifice on my part whenever I loved someone and put my faith in them…!
And,
If after years of being together they decided to walk away from me,
It was love from my side always,
Because it was their choice to stay with me and once they were over, well the feeling or the purpose of my friendship or relationship was over their presence was not found with me…!
And,
Never it was my right to berate them or speak ill of them because they left me…!
Because i will never be in such a place to speak ill about anyone…!
There are a lot more things that happened but, if I tell them they will make you feel worried, anxious and have pity on me with anger on the other person—
But,
It’s not something I ever want…
Life is precious including each moment spent in it,
And if it’s spent with someone who you don’t like or someone you don’t want to be with—
Its purpose is ruined…!
Khair
I hope those who aren’t with me that live a life that is blessed with the presence of people who they love and are far better than than me…!
Song of the day is here
Second love
Nothing like the first love…!
But the love that we give to someone after being with someone who we deeply loved…!
The song talks about how a flower blooms on a land that was left barren—
How conversation sparks about first love and remembering the things that they used to do with them;
Cherishing the moment and running away from them too…!
I’d say Jassa Dhillon would be the present day Amar Singh Chamkila…!
What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?
03/09/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It’s one of those late night post as I had some paperwork that I had to fill and get it to the bank before leaving for work…!
So I ended my walk took some rest and formulated some ideas and saved them here and left to accomplish the task in hand…!
Before I could think about completing this prompt I was at work ready to work on the piece that I put in the chuck last night…!
And it was late in the evening when I got an idea to make this prompt…!
And,
How it could be different from the rest and how differently I live my life if compared to the rest…!
Doing things differently from the world…!
I think the way I approach love, people who are/were attached to me, how relationships play out and how emotions make us choose things that might not be good in the short run which might make us regret our decisions later on…!
I believe that loving someone doesn’t give us the right to claim them…!
Not every time you end up with the people who are your crush and even if they do it might not be that they love you back…!
And,
That doesn’t give you any right to claim them…!
The above street cat let me pet him once and then all I got was angry hisses and sharp claws aimed my way…!
Yes
You can love them, live for them and exist with their memories in your mind forever;
But,
Nowhere does it say that they are yours to choose and keep in hiding from the world…!
Questioning authority and inherited beliefs to get the reason behind them…!
I was told just like the rest of us to believe in what our parents got from their parents and they got them from our forefathers…!
But,
I do think many before me tried to question and were punished, suppressed or even threatened with strict discipline—
To the point they never had enough I don’t want to say courage but lack of the word forces me to use it…!
Even,
This day when I was under my parents I had to agree to what they believed in until I wasn’t a little kid anymore and I was free to choose and practice what I like,
And I chose none…!
Well not nobody;
But bowing in an essence to the truth and the the power that blew into me the first breath which continues to this day…!
I wish some of this was inherited but really none was…!
It was something that happened after I pushed myself,
Angered more than a few people when I chose not to bow down infront of the elders and these beautiful sculpted statues…!
Did it cost me…?
Yes it did,
And,
I paid a price with my conscience and with that price eve thing became evident,
How respect was mutual and none of it came to you just because you were a few years older…!
I understood it earlier that I cannot be myself if I ever gave into the sense of belonging to a group or a community, instead of being an individual self…!
Too long to go over,
In Crux I talked about how I questioned things and gave respect where it was due and only if I considered the person on the receiving end to be worthy of it…!
Do you guys even listen to the song of the day I post here…?
Or should I stop…?
Khair
Until I don’t feel like giving upon it I won’t…!
Another one from the dream journey…!
Naina morey taras gaye by ustaad shoukat manzoor ali khan ji…!
Whenever this song or blessing reaches my ears I cannot get enough of it and I play it on repeat atleast twice maybe thrice…!
There is something in his voice that brings me peace and drops me back into this sense of despair and longing…!
It feels like a good morning to me, I woke up around 7:30 brushed my teeth, went out for a walk, returned home, had my granola with milk and now I’m writing this prompt…!
I just found out that being lactose intolerant is a skill issue…!
No lies,
It says that you should just micro dose your milk;
And build resilience to it…!
(In no way I have the degree or a respective education that says I can confidently say that it will help…! Do your own research before proceeding ahead….!)
Coming back to the prompt
Five favorite apps on my phone…!
This in no way is in order that reflects my favourite-ness…!
Notes/Journal
Yes, even before anything was announced or made public or posted here on my website…!
Everting started and ended in my notes app…!
First it was in my old Oneplus 9 pro later it was the Oneplus 12 until I bought an iPhone where all of the data moved permanently…!
Because moving it across devices was getting harder and more time consuming for me…!
Jetpack
Yup,
This app takes a space and a chunk of my time to explore and find things,
But,
Now that it has become some time going through this app, it feels easy to transverse and save things…!
Instagram
Yup, just like you, even I have an addiction with the insta app even though I have a timer on it but those additional 15 minutes add up very quickly…!
It has become a source of my inspiration and motivation too which brings me ideas from across the world to my eyes and mind…!
Threads
Yes,
An app where I post or try to post daily and these daily prompt end up there on one account…!
The other one gets these random thoughts and ideas that spring in my mind but aren’t that big for an entire post…!
Instants
This would be the last one where I take photos each day which stay on the app for 24 hours and after that they are gone…!
Well not gone but only I can see them, some of them are with a purpose, some are just random snaps with reasons locked in my mind…!
The above were the top five apps I use(in no order…)
I almost forgot about the strong contender—
YouTube…!
Which eats away almost 4 hours of my day…!
Song of the day is here….!
Luna Sung by Diljit Dosanjh
The song is one of those which comes from the album which has a lot of bangers like Hoops and many others…!
But,
The reason I pick this one is because it was written by Arjan Dhillon…!
And,
Even though the audio masks the voice the song has a vibe that people don’t understand…!
What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
31/08/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well..!
Yes,
I wanted to write and I am beginning to write this prompt at exactly 00:02 hours;
A few minutes before I submitted the daily prompt which I had to on 30th…!
I think it will be a good day, because I have a whole lot planned and I will try to complete it by the evening…!
Returning to the prompt…!
The kindest things that someone has ever done for me would be to tell me that I was worthy of love and I deserved it as much as any other person did…!
I lost that girl a few years back because I was not in the right place for a relationship or even marriage…!
And to be honest I was never in a place to reject someone but,
I did,
And that moment still haunts me to this day,
Because I haven’t found someone who would love me like her…!
But,
There’s nothing that I can do, because she is happy in a relationship with someone who deserved and treated her in a much better way than I ever could…!
Khair…
It was her,
And,
Even when life was not kind to her she was kind to me,
And that is something that I learnt from her and tried to incorporate in my life by looking happy and carrying a smile on my face;
And wishing everyone with much more love and respect which I used to do before…!
Khair again
She taught me it was possible to love someone even when you are broken and trying to mend yourself…!
And I genuinely wish,
Whenever my heart cries out—
I wish this life was a bit less cruel to her and she could have found the person who loves her before those people came into her life…!
I think this will be a right place to end…!
Song of the day is here
Nseeb
A name that rang with respect, admiration and a voice that makes even the established people weak in their knees…!
Freestyle 21 brings out the aggressiveness that hides within and how people move in the shadows and show their true intention when they come face to face with their problems…!
What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?
28/08/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Another one of those late nights upload,
Because of Rakhi celebrations in the morning leeching into the afternoon,
And we had some job that was pending that we completed today…!
After returning home around 18:00 in the evening, I picked up a delivery of a Raksha Bandhan gift for a friend of mine who went to New Zealand and his family was all alone here…!
I reached south extension around 19:28 and talked all about life and how they are doing,
Some discussions about life, about how this government is ruining this country and how biased has people become along with their thoughts and ideas…!
After much talking I left around 20:30 reached home around 21:00–
Even I was shocked because nothing like this has happened ever before…!
Like I reached home from south ex to my place of residence within a span of 30 minutes…!
Khair
Coming back to the prompt
Weirdest coincidence that happened to me
Well,
I live a relatively simple life and nothing much happens that is spontaneous or seems weird to me,
But there are instances that shock me,
Like how predictable life has become…!
They range from simple things like me guessing on the first try what is made for lunch or dinner;
But not breakfast because my senses don’t work so early in the morning…!
To already predicting what will happen because I saw exact instances like that happen somewhere in my dream…!
From a relative visiting just like it happened in a dream,
To,
Witnessing a death in the exact moment like I saw in my dream…!
Yes exactly what I typed above…!
Let’s wrap this up before the clock hits 12…!
Song of the day is here
Lataa mangeshkar ji is here…!
One of the songs that brings us line souls comfort…!
For all of you to witness and bless your eyes and souls
