It feels like I’m going to burst out of my skin , If I don’t do something about it;
And, If I decide to act upon it someday, It will either be the end of a person, Or End of me in an essence…!
After spending a good amount of my time waiting for a product or even something that I was promised and it doesn’t happen;
It feels like I’m going to blow up and burst in a fit of anger…!
I’m meeting them after sacrificing my precious time, and I hope their’s is too;
Out of nowhere comes this delay of their arrival, Something that they promised in the first place, and to be there before me too;
And now; When they don't stand on their word——
There comes a sudden burst of anger, an uncontrollable one, That makes me feel that I have less worth, and pushes me to get up and walk away from this meet-up…!
I try to tell myself that they might be stuck somewhere, but, Another voice tells me that, ”They live here in this city and they must be aware of the time it takes and the place they chose, maybe it gets congested,
Plus, Being wary of it, they should have left earlier…!”
After having this bout with myself,
or
this voice of mine;
I come to a conclusion to wait,
and they appear infront of me,
as I’m waiting there;
And when they arrive, on seeing them all of the voices fade and a feeling of happiness takes over me;
Maybe it’s some evil from within that tries to push me in a wrong direction away from people and their company, Wants me to rot in my room all alone;
But, Not trusting it for a while Enduring it for a little while, it makes all of it worth it;
What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?
12/04/2026 @Waakiye
Hey..
I hope all of you are doing well…!
After straying away from my routine after I picked up a suitcase wrong,
I was in my bed trying not to move,
because each movement caused more pain;
—
After two sessions of physiotherapy and another one on Monday,
I think I’ll be well…!
I’ve killed a few more tasks,
and we will get the bhaji on Monday and the distribution will start on the same day…!
Other than that,
shopping is done,
A few things might be left,
And,
that will also be completed as soon as we get boxes and I will tell my mom and sister to give them to those who live nearby…!
A packed week we have ahead;
—
I have to go to work today and finish a few tasks alone,
As my uncle and brother are going to the bhog of my paternal aunt who passed away on April 1st;
Coming back to the prompt
Five Things that bring me happiness..!
There are few instances of happiness in my life,
but,
I work hard on making it worth living,
First would be my family’s and my well being; they are my priority and anything/everything that I do is ultimately to their benefit, No matter the path I choose I see that it benefits them in the long run…!
My friends take a special place in my heart and whenever we get a chance to get together, we make it absolutely fun and something that we talk about every time we meet…! The last thing we did together was ice skating and that was fun and we got hurt; All three of us at the same time…!
A loved one; I wouldn’t say anything else but the fact that their presence makes us feel like we are special and I hope they feel the same way too about it…!
Morning walks and being one with nature is something that makes me feel happy and that feeling is elevated when I am visiting a place like a park or a place that is filled with trees and plants that makes me feel happy…!
The last or the first thing that makes me feel happy(the way you look at this list)and this life worthy of continuing is writing; Because of it I have been able to meet wonderful people and I’ve got a chance to work with some who I couldn’t even think of working with even from this country and beyond this one…!
Some things that bring me happiness and joy…!
Have forgotten to mention travelling and the love paper brings me isn’t that same for the all of us,
we forget to mention things that make us who we are and define our hustle isn’t it…?

It was a lone night, I was travelling all alone and before I could reach home, I got a call from my friend…!
It felt like either his life was in danger… or he had taken someone’s;
G0d knows what it was, but fear was resonating clearly from his voice—
Ravi— “I did it bhai… I found that man and I did what I had to…”
Me— “What are you talking about Ravi…?”
Ravi— “The same man… the one who brutally assaulted and k1lled that little girl from our vicinity—”
I cut him off.
The connection was poor. I told him to move somewhere open.
But my mind… it had already started running in all directions.
Ravi— “I found him… and as soon as I got a chance, I pounced on him… A fight broke out…”
“What happened next… Ravi?”
Ravi— “I knew he’d overpower me… so I took out the knife I kept on my waist… in case I ever needed it…”
My thoughts went to the worst place.
A brief pause…
“I had to, Waakiye… I had to do it…”
“She called me her brother… I watched her grow up… and I—”
He stopped.
I think her face came in front of him.
“Is he alive…?” I asked.
Ravi— “He was… gasping for air… when I opened his neck…”
“I watched him suffer… just like she would have…”
Silence.
“Where are you…?” I asked. “Send me your location.”
“Okay…”
The call ended.
A few seconds later—— I heard a ping on my phone;
Just a few minutes away.
————
I drove there. And I saw him.
Sitting cross-legged… right next to the body.
Staring at the blood-soaked sand beneath him.
“Ravi…?” No response.
“Ravi…!” Nothing.
“RAVI…!” On the third call—he moved.
He rushed toward me, collapsed onto me… and broke.
Tears; Shaking hands; A voice that didn’t belong to the man I knew.
“I just wanted to scare him… but it… it became this…”
“I had to k1ll him…”
“He would have escaped… hurt someone else…”
As I looked into his eyes— and then at the lifeless one behind him—
Only one thought came to my mind— I have to save him.
⸻
“Give me the knife.”

[END PART 1]
A story that expands beyond years and decades of built relationships,
Had a kill a few tasks by the end of the day and we secured a new order from a business that earlier used to deal with us directly,
But,
Now they have put an intermediary party that secures all of the material that is required to run their business;
A convenience for them,
But,
It waivers that dealings that we had with them and counts as a fresh start,
To which we said that we won’t work without an advance payment;
—-
And when this advance figure comes in,
It becomes difficult for all of us;
The order has already been delayed a week and a half because we didn’t receive one,
And after getting a minimal amount that doesn’t even begins to dent the total value,
We told them to give us at least 30% of the deal but they are still saying that we will give it to us in a day or so…!
Like we will start working without securing at least the amount of material that is required to accomplish the task…!
—
Because this is the first time we are dealing with them,
And they thought that we would work without any advance payment just because they supply to a company that we used to deal with…!
Things we deal with on the daily..!😅
Grown men acting like we are going to run away with their money after being in the business for 60+years,
Even after they got a confirmation from the company they are going to take it to,
To contact us for the material and final product…!
🤷🤷🤷
Coming back to the prompt
Fun ways to exercise
Well,
Let me begin you by telling you that I thought working out or even getting at least half hour maybe an hour of walk was trivial and no fun at all…!
But,
As soon as I found a way to pair it with an activity that gives me a sense of detachment from it,
While giving me motivation to continue on for longer,
It becomes easier…!
First one would be to involve a friend or a partner—
in the exercise or a set of exercises that you are doing…!
It creates a sense of friendly competition and pushes you to do better each day as they keep you or you keep them pushing in the at direction…!
A fun and interesting way to keep exercising…!
Second would be involve a pet,
Maybe go on longs walks while exploring a newfound place or take them on a hike,
Which pushes both you and them at the same time…!
Deepening the bond you have with them,
Make sure to carry some treats to appreciate their correct behavior and also keep a rubber stick to protect them from other things that might cause them harm…!
Third would be taking guidance from a trainer;
And this would better happen within closed doors like a gym or another training facility;
And under their guidance it would be better to work out or exercise while they improve your form and action…!
At last all of it would be supplemented by music,
Which gives me a boost and a will to work harder and push myself to my limits…!
In a crux,
Either working out with a partner/friend,
A pet or a personal trainer ;
Would be the way to go and make it fun;
If you’re a loner like me,
You can follow hiit workouts or basic exercises while sitting at home and seeing it on your phone or having a trainer in virtual to guide you…!
It can be fun if you work at a pace that build and maintains you even if you’re all alone…!
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?
Hey…!
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It was a packed day yesterday which I took off from work,
Shopping earrings and a set that we plan on giving my sister,
On top of that we are deciding what we will give during the milni function maybe cash will be the go to;
But instead of that we are planning to give silver coins…!
(Remove the concept of cash in total…)
—
We also bought kaleere and rented the jewellery that my sister plans to wear on the day of her wedding…!
After trying on a few of them, this was the one she associated with the most…!
A few more days of shopping it’s said,
But,
I’m telling my mom and sister to finish it by Sunday evening;
So that we can start the other things from Monday onwards…!
Coming back to the prompt
Olympic sports that I enjoy watching…!
To be honest to you all,
I don’t even like watching cricket…!
(I know I am going to get some heat for that…)
But,
I genuinely don’t understand what is the reason behind watching guys in a circle catch a ball that other player hit…?!
—
It’s the same for football,
What is the reason that these athletes train so hard to kick a ball into others teams net…!?
—
Let’s not talk about the betting and immense money people lose on these sports…!
—
Some people literally put their life on the line and take money from people to bet it on these things…!
—
Only to lose in the long run even if a few bets hit…!
But,
Let’s not forget it being the a sense of interconnectedness amongst all of us…!
—
You feel left out if you don’t watch a cricket match of which either India is a part of,
even these IPL(Indian premier league…)
—
You feel left out as soon as the conversation starts and then you have to watch it with them or alone in your privacy…!
The only thing that I watch on the passing is badminton as it shows new ways and tricks the athletes use to be better at a sport that is already at its pinnacle…!
—
Another one would be shooting sports that include target hitting,
Even if it is air rifle or bow and arrow…!
—
But,
Have you ever given a thought to the fact how these people who sacrificed their lives to represent our country, India are looked at once the celebrations turn off…?
—
How they’re treated once they return home and spend a few years within those who call them their own…!
—
Their piles of medals bring them immense shame and they never plan on bringing their kids into the sport they perused or any those kids genuinely want to…!
That is how we treat those sportsmen/sportswomen who brought glory to our country…!
A thought that stays on my mind longer than it should…!
This day started early as I think I fell asleep at 10 last night…!
I’m writing this at 7:10 in the morning…
I spent entirety of the day outside,
After waking up and making a post yesterday morning bere,
I freshened up and went to my workplace to give a bundle of material to hardening,
And before returning home I made my first trip to buy essentials like ghee and at home I had brunch…!
After that I went out to buy munchies and other kitchen essentials from Dmart near our residence…
On returning home and taking another shower, it was three by now…!
I got ready and went to Chawri bazaar for getting the card made;
We walked to metro and reached Chawri bazaar within 20 minutes…!
The wait on the yellow line was oh so much…!
And after walking another 10 minutes because we got off on the wrong exit we reached this shop that was in such a secluded spot I thought we were going to get lost there…!
A street leading to another smaller one and another one leading to another…!
—
After giving them the format that we wanted,
We waited and waited..!
After getting no answer because the person who had to type wasn’t free;
We decided that we will send them the pdf on our own and decided to return back home…!
On our way back we decided to stop for pista badam milk which is famous in old Delhi;
The name of the shop is
Sudarshan Refreshment Centre…
They also sell Kachori
The small compartment that has kachori above and sabzi in the box below…!
And on returning from the shop,
I stopped by the Shri Gujrat Namkeen Bhadaar…!
And bought some kaju both with pepper and plain salted…!
Along with some thepla and fafda
The fafda in question 😂Side view of the shop…!
Before coming back home,
We decided to buy some burgers for people back home from jumbo king burgers at Rajiv chowk…!
And after waiting for it to get ready and sipping on our sprite;
My sister and I talked about things like her suits and dresses,
And on taking the burgers,
We walked to the blue lines that led to our station and we got on the metro…!
We decided to check out a Salon to get a basic idea of the rates of bridal makeup and they gave us a slip of 20k for bridal and additional 3k for each person that wanted to get their’s done…!
—
And we came out of the salon with a laughter on our face thinking it would be in the range of 10 maybe 15k range..!
—
So we will look for some more…!
What a day it was…!!!!
Coming back to the prompt…!
Aspects that make us unique…
If I’m asked this question,
I’d answer this by saying that,
thethought process
and
the behaviour
That guides us to arrive at a conclusion works to make us unique…!
If you have a corrupted thought process,
Everything goes down from that place,
Because it forces you to pick negative and bad thoughts more and after a point of time you feel forced to act upon them…!
—
And when that happens the behaviour reflects what goes on in the mind,
To all of the world…!
On the contrary,
If you have a better managed thought process,
A balance of both leaning towards good side more;
—
It reflects in the behavior and the people outside can see it too…!
My answer would be a correct mindset with a positive thinking process,
Along with that a behavior that reflects the same…!
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It was a slow day yesterday at work,
A job that took the whole day but by the end of the day it was ready;
Which I will have to give to harderning today on my day off…!
It’s 8:18 and my day is packed to the brim…!
—
I have to go on shop for necessities like fruits and veggies,
Biscuits and other munchies,
Ghee and some seed oil for home…!
—
Other than that I have to go and make some edits to the cards and get them printed in a day or two;
—
Try and get a look at what we are going to give my sister in gold;
Maybe a necklace or two;
—
And after that;
Plan my entire evening getting information about catering, tents and internal decor for haldi, mehandi and ladies sangeet ceremony…!
—
Packed to the brim,
Am I not…?
Coming back to the prompt…
Something named after me…!
I’d love it if a concept or a phenomenon would be called Waakiye;
—
Something that stays in theory and often crosses into the practical world;
—
I’d love if it meant to be in a mental state of feeling that signifies being in a comfortable position,
Something like open to all the wellness and filtering out all the negativity…
I’d never want it to be a building or a road or a venue—
Because I’ve seen the type of hatred people have towards the way things are named and people move to change it ever so often…!
—
So,
Having a venue named after me and later changed just because a politician thinks that my name rings of a religious belief that are different from theirs;
It would be a shame to my name and my legacy if something was named once by the masses and then changed because they don’t feel I resonate with them…!
But if the name stays as a concept or a feeling;
It’s destined to stay even if I’m not…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
A squirrel that we rescued…!
I hope you do remember,
The same young dog that was carrying the pigeons that we recently rescued was chasing this baby squirrel and we rescued it from under a car that it sat patiently waiting for us…!
And after keeping it for a few days,
As it escaped from the box a few times and eating a healthy amount of seeds and drinking enough water it was ready for the free world…!
So my sister released it in the evening and it went up the tree,
Never to be found again today…!
We named him
Gillu or गिल्लू
The first few words of the hindi word
गिलहरी which directly translates to squirrel
🐿️
A close shotOur pet, Mithu curiously looking at what we brought in this time🤨
Waakiye
