A Memorable Night with ROBROO Theater Group

Daily writing prompt
What was the last live performance you saw?
View all responses

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

Having a keen interest in writing and with that,
It becomes a necessity to have a broad horizon,
&
that only happens when you go out,
explore things,
watch live shows,
Theatrical performances,
Or even when you meet new people and hear their side of the world…

There’s a beautiful group that does plays in Delhi,
they go by the name,
“ROBROO THEATRE GROUP”,
though heavily underrated but their performances have been out of the world,
i was blessed enough to witness,
their enactment of a folk tale in our history,
“HEER RANJHA”…

I became their fan from that day onward,
I met the person in-charged,
Kajal Suri Ji…
The person who is a literal magician when it comes to acting herself,
and portraying a picture so clear and vivid that even after half a year I still remember it all with great detail…

It was such a beautiful performance,
heer ranjha folk goes on from such a long time in our culture that there are many songs made on it,
and even references in some of these new songs that come out today;

The folk says the story is set in what is now Panjab,
and it revolves around a beautiful girl named heer,
and a handsome boy named ranjha,
who fell in love,
but,
Due to family’s opposition they were separated;

heer now being forced to marry someone else,
ranjha becomes a wanderer and roams places to places,
until the day they unite,
But heer’s uncle opposes this and poisons her food on the wedding day,
which leads to her death,
and on seeing that the person he cherished the most is no more,
Ranjha consumes the poised food too,
leading to their tragic and untimely death,
as their bodies are laid to burial together…

The story revolves around tragic nature and facing a caste-based opposition,
At the end which results in both of them being deceased in the process,
but the tale lives on reminding us all of the atrocities that were there and lovers still have to face…

I saw the performance in late ’24,
But i remember it like yesterday,
the last and the best performance that i saw till this date…

(they have an upcoming performance on 11th of May 2025,
Called SAMANTAK TEERTH IN DELHI)
if you are in town do check them out,
bookings are open right now…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

The beautiful medley,
A pattern that’s appealing to these eyes,
colors pink and white,
A photo that depicts,
the love that we feel,
but,
when they’re in our hands away from each other,
they tend to spoil and rot;

A beautiful medley,
That’s appealing to these eyes,
why don’t we see their beauty when they exist,
the way they were meant to be…?

Are You a Leader or Follower? Discover the Truth

Daily writing prompt
Are you a leader or a follower?
View all responses

Hey…

I hope each one of you reading this are doing well…

This is the first time I disagree with the prompt,
because there should be both the qualities in a person;

They should be capable of leading as well,
and even be quick to follow when they come across a concept that is unknown to them,
or if you have less information on,

because all of us are humans,
we have limits,
limits to our knowledge and capabilities,
which makes us different from each other…

There are times that I’ve led people on with these words,
giving them vivid stories to read,
also live in,
but,
I was led on by them too,
when they provided me an insight into a concept that was foreign to me…

For example,
A person,
Whom I cherish,
told me about her life,
How her mother separated from their family,
brutally which led to her forming extreme issues,
but,
the story of the said person is coming out of it is so brave,
that,
it makes all of the other problems seem small…

There’s no such thing as being a leader,
without being a follower first,
You followed someone footsteps,
even if you are unaware that you did,
IT HAPPENED,
You unknowingly followed and aren’t aware,
OR
knowingly followed but choose not to admit,
because you think it makes you a smaller person….
BUT;
the day you admit to this,
is when the real growth happens…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Whisper Collector: A Job for Just One Day

Daily writing prompt
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?
View all responses

Hey…

I hope you all are doing well…!

This question had me bugging as soon as I logged in on the app last night,
a job that i would do just for a day,
a single day,
and never again,
never ever again…

I was thinking about being a WHISPER Collector;

Imagine being a wall,
a bench in a secluded spot,
a crack in a wall,
an old Tyre that has been sitting,
or even a dark alleyway…

And from each of them,
oozing soft whispers,
that come to your ear,
in the voice of those people who aren’t there anymore…

Imagine hearing someone confess their secrets;

Someone telling how much they love the person who is moving infront of them,
and within whispers you hear,
the soft voice of the person moving infront of them,
telling the alleyway how much they love them and want to be with them forever…

As you move from the alleyway to the remains of what seems like a playground,
You start to hear crackle of children,
their laughter,
and from them seeps voices of few parents who brought their kids to the playground,
as I go past the swings,
and reach a big swirling slide,
from there i heard,
crackling of happy children,
Amongst them a sad voice,

in a sad voice
“Have to go, dad has to go to work,
we’ll be back tomorrow”
in a crying voice…!

I wish they did meet tomorrow,
or escaped to safety safely…

Tears streaming down my face,
this has to be something that should be done only once,
and once only as,
the screams of those who lost their lives started to come to these ears…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

With a lantern I was handed,
told in a voice stern to walk through the night.

With the secrets to unfold,
in the shadows to move unheard,
Each whisper that i heard,
shall remain in my head forever.

The regret of lost,
the silent ones,
and those who didn’t make it,
Amongst those whose voice,
traveled from far a places,
to reach my ear with a sense of relief,
in a bittersweet way a soft smile stays,
on this face saddened with grief…

Why Quality Matters: My Favorite Brands Explained

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite brands and why?
View all responses

Hey…

I hope you all are doing well…!

The prompts these days are getting better and personal day by day,
but,
that gives us a chance to self reflect and retrospect,
the things that we liked or helped us change our paths after finding out wrong or bad ones…

For the brands that are my favorite,
I generally prefer good quality clothes that are going to last me a while,
even if I have to spend much on them initially,
for example
I’ll buy an Adidas T and track pants,
and on the other hand,
ill thrift some good quality t and lower that cost much less but they’ll give my me a fresh perspective with colors that aren’t available normally…

I’m very picky about my shoes,
let me tell you all this…

Once I entered Zara and bought a shoe that had various colors,
which appear clown like now,
Once i entered a Levi’s store and bought a pair of black shoe and i still wear it till date,
even if it’s past its expiration date…😂
You’ll find a few nike(s),
which I ROCK,
along with that you will find some campus(es),
which provide comfort and support to my foot all day long…!

Being a tech savvy person,
I have a laptop (Lenovo),
using One plus phone( quality of which has deteriorated from the rigorous way i use it…)
Because both of them are easy to navigate through,
and help me get things done easy and faster than the competitors…

This is more than enough details for the time being,
I feel like exposing a layer of myself after writing this one,
But,
this shall live on with me and forever I shall remember them…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

The duality of life,
having been on all four sides of this image,
has given me perspective beyond life itself,
1)waiting for my metro and to take this photo was a coincidence in itself,
2)waiting for the metro with a certain someone that completes me,
3)going away to those who help me live in this bitter life like the person in the left,
and
4)viewing this all from a perspective the person who was sitting right next to me
who isn’t a part of this pic…!

Exploring Personal Admiration: Who Do We Look Up To?

Daily writing prompt
List the people you admire and look to for advice…
View all responses

Hey..

I hope all of you are doing well…

You must be thinking that,
I must,
I really would have people I look upto ,
admire and would want to be like,
but,
there in reality,
there are none…

There are a few whom i read,
who pushed me into a direction to work hard,
write with consistency,
explore different avenues of life,
to be a better person on a whole…

But,
really there are none whom i admire,
there wasn’t someone who would guide me to write,
even if i am grateful for people who pushed me in this direction,
but,
admiration per se?
that,
i think is earned when someone looks at you,
looks up to you from the bottom up…

But,
I’ve taken my steps looking at something far beyond a person,
or what anyone is capable of,
so,
I’ve yet to find someone i admire,
from the bottom of my heart…

Till i find someone….!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Now this is something that i call an inspiration,
or a source of one,
the moon its serenity is something that i admire forever,
a countless number of images in my phone you’ll find of the same,
much thanks to the world for existing and letting us witness the beauty it possesses…

Voter Apathy: The Case for Casting Your Vote

Do you vote in political elections?

Hey..

I hope you all are doing well…

The prompt of this day sparks a real honest question to all of us,
it just doesn’t ask us about our political stance on the type of government we favor,
or what political beliefs we grew up with,
cherishing them,
even spreading them among those who come from us or are in our company…

G0d knows,
I’ve seen many people who don’t vote,
just because they think that their votes don’t matter,
and just because of that they sit home,
or avoid making an effort that will ultimately be a changing point in their lives…

I come from a place where elections happen after every 5 years,
and its a bias to think,
one is good,
the other one is bad;

But,
the scale goes like this,

All of them are bad,
all of them either came from money,
or they come to make money,
no matter the path;

If they have to cheat someone for money they’ll do it,
if they have to remove someone from their paths they’ll do it,
if they want to stay in power beyond their terms, they’ll do it,
they can and will do anything to stay in power and make money,
and more even if it means cheating their nation of money,
that are paid by said taxpayers of which you and me are a part of…

That’s why it’s important to choose,
who are good even if they stem from evil,
they must have a certain side to them,
that makes them less evil than others,
isn’t it….?

Almost forgot to answer the question,
yes,
I do vote,
and with all might,
i tell everyone,
your vote,
the person next to you their vote,
your old grandparents.
even their votes matter…

So,
if you get a chance,
go out,
and vote…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

This is how it feels,
choosing something that’s not necessarily for your benefit,
but for a good that is going to come out of your peace and mind,
but that’s the price that you pay for existing among those you consider your own…

Finding Direction in Life: My Personal Journey

Daily writing prompt
What gives you direction in life?
View all responses

Hey..

I hope you all are doing well…!

A sense of direction;
it has been weird enough that i have been chasing what i have had in my mind for such a long time,
I really don’t have anything that gives it in an essence a direction…

Chasing money has been an all-time top five of the things that give me a direction,
to work hard for my family and their survival,
and to have what they need,
or something that’s new and helps us live a life better than yesterday…!

This writing is one such thing,
where I can freely be expressive of who I am,
no matter what type of lifestyle i come from,
I am and have free reigns of how and what i write here,
and for me to be a better writer/storyteller,
a better person in general,
who loves what he does,
this has been an eye opener and helped me to find thing out much earlier than others,
like the traits people have,
and,
how and when they use a situation,
or a happening for their advantage…

But all in,
things have been there to keep me pulled into the race that help me motivated enough to continue and keep me working hard…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Clicked this random station,
it was a long journey,
but returning home was the best thing ever,
I took a seat and breathed with ease,
as my destination wasn’t far,
the serene peace and love,
with monochrome and the late night empty halls ,
just made me think of things,
conversations,
the stories
the tales
that these walls were a witness of…

Life Lessons from Personal Quotes

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
View all responses

Hey

I hope you all are doing well…!

There are a few sentences that i live by,
they aren’t necessarily quotes,
but they’re self-drawn rules that I live by,
Well,
I think each and every one of us should have some,
rules or something that helps you set,
what is right or wrong,
in a situation…

Quotes are those who are written by a writer and such,
and when you are one in the making,
what’s better than looking at something that you wrote,
to keep yourself in check,
during times that you thought would be the end of you…

The said quote(s)…

1)

THE FALL TAUGHT ME TO GET UP AND MOVE FORWARD,

IT DIDN’T TELL ME TO STOP AND SIT DOWN,

IT TOLD ME THE REASON FOR THE FALL,

AND I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING,

NOR I’M STOPPING,

DIDN’T STOP YESTERDAY,

WILL NOT STOP TODAY,

WONT STOP TOMORROW,

BECAUSE,

I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING…

★Didn’t stop learning★

2)

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

CAN’T CRASH OUT

✅CAN THUG MY WAY OUT OF THIS ONE, SO

I WON’T CRASH OUT

These two are the ones I often check out,
there are more but those are some other ideas,
prompting some other feelings…

For the time being,
you can read them,
save them,
make them your quotes too…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

This is exactly how it feels when some prompt like this comes in…

From Scrolling to Creating: My Social Media Shift

How do you use social media?

Hey

I hope all of you are doing well…!

The use of social media has changed significantly for me in the past couple of years.
From the outside perspective,
it would look like a drastic change.

Earlier I used to spend a lot of time on social media.
I was just scrolling away from one app to another.
but,
these days it’s the polar opposite…

Any spare time I have is spent jotting down ideas.
I feel these ideas will hit the right bone,
or they will help develop my consciousness.
This will give me a better insight into someone’s life…

Initially,
I used it just to chat my time away.
But
this social media has helped me meet beautiful souls who aren’t just expressive.
They are also much better writers than I am.
Because of social media,
we managed to connect with each other.

I would be here writing, editing, and making images just for my social media handles.
Also, I would also be working on my blog.
It was like shooting arrows in the dark…

I still haven’t got used to the type of change it has brought.
I have had to undergo many changes to become a better version of myself.
All for the best,
isn’t it …?

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

What we see here is an effort to grow from a point where even the mere thought of existence is a threat,
but here we still are,
still trying to make the best out of the situation that this life throws us in,
and just like this bud growing from a crack in the wall,
this seed has had a life too,
and,
I wish to hear his side of the story too…

Chaos to Clarity: My Writing Journey and Productivity

Daily writing prompt
When do you feel most productive?
View all responses

Hey

I hope you all are doing well…!

The prompt of this day,
forced me to think the duality of the life I am living…

One where I manage and run a business,
another one where I do all of this writing,
it has been a chaotic mix of feeling thing and tirelessly working my b|_|tt off..

All of us know that living two lives within these 24 hours isn’t possible but we all have to manage right…?

The most productive I am during work is the afternoon hours,
i.e. 12 pm to 3 pm,
but,
it’s the exact opposite for this writing between 12 am to 3 am;(IST)

Waking up early to set things in order,
and then working on them including this blog,
and Instagram post before I have to leave for work,
the fine line between night and day blemishes,
and for weeks it feels like I haven’t taken a day off,
but,
the show must go on…

So,
I think you get a gist of the type of broken schedule I live on,
necessarily the dependent on caffeine is hard and takes a toll on this mind and body too…

But,
both parts of my life requires different strengths,
different capabilities,
very drastic shifts in focus,
and,
with that I need to have a very cool, calm and a composed mind…

But,
from the chaos that I’m in,
generates a world so vivid and well versed,
that it feels almost surreal..

And,
this is the type of blessing I seeked all along,
to live a vivid, beautiful life with,
hard work too so i can get a good nights sleep…

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

That’s how I am staring at nothingness some of these days…
