  • Planning my next few months…!

    Planning my next few months…!

    What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The last nights prompt took away a lot of things that I wanted to say today…!

    🙈

    But, after a long time a prompt has come in that I haven’t answered and this has given me some ideas…!

    And a break from me posting my unusual stuff that I write…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Biggest challenge that I will face in the next six months

    It’s a bit crazy how the world moves, because up until beginning of the year 2026;

    I didn’t have any concrete plans, they were still to lay low, work hard in the shadows and come back out with more power in a year or two…!

    Making this year of struggles and winning some personal battles with myself and things that hold me back…!

    Until, the marriage of my sister was decided in the month of April…!

    For which everything has sprung into action and there are things happening that are done by me and taken into account to guide anyone who comes to me in the near future for help on how to manage or do a programme like this one…!

    There will be many things that will happen and they will change my viewpoint on now to view people, their behavior and also how those who will sit in our blind spots and fill the ears of our relatives and question how we were able to afford these things…!

    Everything will happen…!

    Including us missing the presence of our father as all of this happens…!🥲

    A huge lump that all of us carry within our hearts and can never ever seem to fill…!

    Otherwise it’s all good and future will be the witness to all that’s yet to come…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Eyes of children who never forget…!

    Eyes of children who never forget…!

    What bores you?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I don’t know how to tell you this but being consistent on this app has made me come to terms with the fact that most of the prompts are recycled…!

    This prompt was answered by me back in 2025 somewhere in the month of February…!

    I really got bored of the thing that I have to recycle,

    Well not recycle but sell you the same prompt yet again which I think hurts my creative front because of a promise I made to myself before I began writing…!

    So instead of the prompt you get one of my write ups today too,

    But it will be disguised in the form of prompt to give all of this a push that it definitely needs…!!!




    Eyes of children who never forget…


    There linger some feelings,
    Some emotions unspoken of;


    Some words with-held,
    Not brought to these lips,
    To keep those dear to us near…

    Whom we considered our own,
    Once pure,
    Now they won’t stay with us,
    Those known faces became unknown…

    They call our eyes droopy,
    A face that seems off,
    Hasn’t witnessed a shread of happiness in years,
    Dark circles that grow day by day,
    And the light of the eyes that diminishes as each day pass…!

    The eyes,
    Those eyes never forget…

    Unkept hair,
    A bunch of facial hair that grows haphazardly;
    Those dead-fish eyes that scare everyone,
    And staring into them feels like a slipping slope;


    Once you fell into them—surrounded by darkness you feel,
    With no clue what hurt them or continues to,
    they walk away from you without a care in this world…

    A sense of relief is seen in them when they indulge in their vice,
    A line of pure white,
    A pill with a happy face,
    A tab or two,
    Or a bottle that’s waiting to be emptied;

    When the white of the eyes turn red,
    Bloodshot—
    Only then,
    In a sense of euphoria,
    A sliver of smile comes on the face…

    On rare occasions we wish,
    These vices weren’t the only thing that made us smile,
    Made us feel— More human,

    But;


    As the buzz wears off,
    We are back to our self,
    Our usual miserable selves…


    With those eyes,
    We stare,
    With a sense that tries to find a meaning in everything;

    A thought comes to our mind,
    Here we are—
    “Here we are still alive…”

    Those are the eyes of children who never forget…



    Cheers 🥂

  • A question about prompts and thoughts I get when I look up towards the sky…

    A question about prompts and thoughts I get when I look up towards the sky…



    Another already answered prompt telling me to cherry pick one of my draft posts…!


    I’d like to ask this to you,

    Do your opinions on things change within a single year or it takes a bigger/smaller span than that…?

    Real question of which I’d like a real answer…!



    When I look towards the sky…

    I’d like to talk to G0d,
    But the sky’s empty.

    I’d tell him how they fear his name during the day,
    When the sun’s up,
    Just above their heads,
    But as soon as it sets,
    They come out of their veils of fear and shyness..


    They skilfully remove their masks,
    And show their real faces,
    Those which can’t be faced without covering one’s eyes,
    Or having to spit something out of your mouth like when you taste something distasteful…


    These veils,
    Cover the horrors they show to their victims,
    By lacing someone’s drink,
    Or abduct them up as they’re returning home to their safe haven—

    But no,
    They had some other plans on their minds…


    As soon as they are done with the bodies alive or not that they caught,
    They throw them out,
    Dispose of them as waste and leave them to rot,
    Or die as a consequence of their actions…


    The very next morning,
    They pick their masks and wear them;


    To cover themselves up in a veil of deceit—

    A material that makes them immune to the normal eye,
    But—

    On seeing within,
    Deep within their cold, soulless eyes,
    As they sing praises of almighty’s name,
    Or go to place of worship above and beyond,
    Only to show their humble nature—

    A game of deceit they play with him;


    He who knows all about them,
    And what they do when they think they’re not being watched,
    But—

    As soon as the sun sets,
    The real version of them pops out…


    I’d talk to G0d,
    And tell him about his creations,
    But,
    When I look up,
    The sky is empty—


    The sky is all empty, because we buried his concept and anything that relates to him when we first decided to lift our veils…


    Cheers 🥂

  • Real life problems here in India…!?

    Real life problems here in India…!?

    Another day of already answered prompts telling me to go into my partially written saved posts…!

    For those who don’t believe here’s the proof that I can provide you…!

    A screenshot with all the prompts answered…!

    If you stay with me, you will be safe…!

    These are the exact words that left his mouth when I told him that I didn’t want to go with him…!


    Set aback I was, before I could say anything as his words once again filled the room…!


    “There are many who are ill mannered who will tease you, belittle you, call you names, maybe touch you inappropriately and what will you do then…?

    Who will you call out to…?

    Who will you look back to for help…?

    Will you cry out for help…?”


    Don’t you think it will be a terrifying experience…?

    And you won’t be able to move or even make a cry of help when something bad happens…!


    You don’t even call it out when you’re surrounded by people you call your own, because you think they’d think of you in the wrong way…!


    And you think you can go alone safely there without me…?



    His words cut deep,

    But they were true, I should have left early and made all of the necessary arrangements before I planned to travel there, even if it were to travel all alone…!


    I know this seems weird, A lot of dependence on a person, But what if I told you it was the absolute truth for me…?


    Last week another girl just like me was picked up by goons as she was going back home from school and she was assaulted and later left on the side of the road(literally to die);

    Until a passer-by recognized her and shouted to attract more people;


    The already distressed parents ran as they weren’t able to lodge a FIR,

    Denied were their basic rights just because the presiding officer assumed that she must have ran away from home due to some tension or stress from her parents…!

    They also brought them shame by telling them to their face and all those around them that,

    She must have ran away from them with her boyfriend and they must have planned to marry each other…!


    As soon as they reached along with other police officers after an already pre decided sum was received by them in a form of bribe and they were looking to pay a part of it to the family to settle the matter;


    They said girl was still alive and confessed the name of the people that were in that car because they belonged to the same town;

    And they loaded her up in their police van instead of an ambulance and drove off towards the hospital…!

    The parents of the girl stood there and after a while they shook themselves to consciousness and found what had happened…!


    They paddled their way to the hospital but their daughter was declared brought dead;

    The parents also died as soon as they heard the news…!


    As the hospital staff decided to change her to remove all of the blood soaked clothes,

    They began the investigation and found conclusive evidence that it was infact a sexual assault and this would;

    Should be a criminal activity;


    But those so called enforcers of justice came empty handed when she was laden into the police jeep and gave up on the drive towards the hospital,

    Or,

    She was deliberately killed on the way to not get a witness testimony…!


    The words still ringing in my mind,

    If you stay with me, you will be safe..!


    Would I ever be safe, until this mentality stays that I need someone to feel safe

    And when I am alone I will—

    I should feel unsafe…


    Only when there’s someone around me I’ll feel safe…!


    Isn’t this mentality broken enough to push women back into the place they worked so hard to crawl out of…!

  • Favourite candies and coming to terms with life…!

    Favourite candies and coming to terms with life…!

    What’s your favorite candy?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s a Sunday and I hope you wake up well rested today and this prompt finds you in the best of your health…!

    There is a lot that went on my mind yesterday and no matter how hard I tried I wasn’t able to put my 100% focus at work, all I could was remember Milky(May his soul rest in peace) and because of that I woke up and had another dream today which I wrote in my notes app…!

    Maybe some of the dreams come to me when I am under different types of stresses and I’m incapable to process them but, I did talk to myself about that and know that the circle of life works this way only,


    Maybe we work through our lives everyday to prepare ourselves for the new life that exists after this one ceases…!?


    Maybe all of this is a test and prepares us and makes us strong enough to look at death in the face and embrace it like it’s someone/something that we knew all along…!

    (Khair…)

    Too much talks about the cease of existence makes me sound a bit too optimistic about it, because some think of life as a trap and the release from it to be the true reality…!

    Imagine returning to a place where you stay with all the souls on a standby and your place stays empty for a while; (A while being 70-80 years for some…)

    And when you return to your original home you are content and happy to be with those who have stayed with you for an eternity…!


    Returning to the prompt

    What’s your favourite candy…?

    This couldn’t have come at a right time because a lot of the things are going on in these days the first week of February leading to the Valentine’s Day..!

    Well there is a vast difference between sugar candy and chocolate confectionery and let me draw this line that we are strictly talking about candy(sugar candy) only…!

    Because all of us remember eating eclairs and melody all through our childhood and that is something that I love too…!

    Melody that we all love and still can’t answer the question (Melody inti chocolaty kyon hai…?)
    I hope all of you remember eating this as you got it as a gift from birthday boy or girl during your schooling years…!

    Yes,

    These two would take the spot for me as one of the most favourite candies that I love…!

    And a lot of memories are attached to these two too…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Tragic news and a break from the prompt…

    Tragic news and a break from the prompt…

    Do you need a break? From what?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well I thought so much about this prompt on my morning walk with my sister, but all of it came to a halt—

    As we feed the street dogs their breakfast, a mix of dog food and milk and some other things in between..!

    One of the dogs in excitement jumped from the fourth floor apartment complex’s terrace;

    As I was away from her she called me on my phone and rushed towards her, and on reaching a car took the white street dog which we brought up with our own hands as their mother died infront of us an year and a half back;

    I cannot think anything straight today…

    I don’t know what happens ahead but my sister says that Milky (name of the injured dog) was shallow breathing in-front of her and his eyes were starting to dry up…!


    And I just got the news he is no more with us…!


    Ooh it hurts so much when someone who cannot speak and gives us love goes away like this..!

    On top of that it is my sister’s birthday today and this is how the news came to us…!

    And we got the news that they have taken to cremate him;

    Oh it feels too hard on the mind and soul to continue anything anymore,

    But the sweet embrace of death is something that all soul has to taste once in their life…!

    May his soul rest in peace and have a better path in their next life…!

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    I cannot share anything else with you instead of this image, a representation of the almighty and in front of it our lifeless baby…

    May his journey ahead be better than what it was in this one…!

  • An ideal day and some exciting news…!

    An ideal day and some exciting news…!

    Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Another cool morning its said to be 10 degree Celsius; waking up at 7:14 with an alarm that I set for 7 AM made me realise I felt colder than it should…!

    As I went to use the bathroom and brush my teeth after putting my phones on charging;

    I thought about today’s prompt, what it would be and how would I write all about it…!

    And on seeing this prompt at 7:33 it felt like it’s been ages since I’ve lived one of the ideal days…!

    (Khair)

    There’s something I want to share with you, my sister’s friend bought a new car and she came to our home last night to show us the car and we were overjoyed when we saw her car and I quickly ordered a few chocolates as a gift from blink-it it was a Ferrero Rocher and a Cadbury one; I ordered a air freshner for her car too but that guy couldn’t reach me because his two wheeler’s engine seized like 10 minutes away from me so he made me cancel the order…!

    It is a Kia Sonet and it’s white in color…!

    We are more happy for her because she grew up infront of us and now she’s become a person who practices law under a senior lawyer and works hard to make everyone around her happy…!

    A noble soul she is…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    An ideal day for me

    It would be to wake up well rested at 7 am…!

    And after waking up it would be great to get a nice walk or a workout in that lasts maybe forty five minutes to an hour that keeps me energetic throughout the day…!

    Then it would be writing one of these prompts which takes around an hour and a half at max and then it would be great to go to work and everything happens according to a predicted schedule and all the outcomes that were thought were reached and the work day ended at 5 maybe 5:30 or last 6 in the evening nothing more than that…!

    After reaching home some plans were already made and I reached there on time and me and my friends hung out, got some snacks and then reached home safely…!

    At home I had my mom and my sister waiting for me and I had a good dinner with them, maybe outside maybe at home and then we took a walk outside and then hit the bed…!

    A day well spent it would’ve been to acknowledge all those who made me who I am today and their constant unwavering support which pushed me into the direction which i love today…!

    An ideal day it would be…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Three major life events and a morning walk partner…!

    Three major life events and a morning walk partner…!

    How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A cool Wednesday morning it is and I woke up by the air purifier hitting my face with cold air that it blew at my face, the time was 7:56 as that’s the time I saw on my phone and watching the 71% battery on it made me breathe a sigh of relief…!

    And I went for a morning walk with my dog and it was amazing;

    There are so many things that we see, giving us perspective on life too, as we see people from walks of life, making it an interesting thing to observe too…!

    And, now I have to clean my room as I’ve returned home at 8:58 hours…!

    But,

    The morning walks makes it better as a fresh perspective is taken in the morning and it helps me think about things in a different way than what I usually am sitting within these four walls…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Life events and its influence on our lives

    This topic came on the right time,

    As many things are happening around me as life unfolds infront of me…

    A marriage

    It usually looks like two people getting together just to live together and have a kid in the near future but that’s the perspective from the outside;

    But, when looked at from the vision of the couple- the man, the woman or whoever is your significant other is—

    It gives you a whole different perspective as they aren’t just tying knots, they are marrying each other and it involves understanding the nature and the quirks that your partner has and adapting to things they don’t like and providing them with love and care that they need…!

    Well this isn’t understood by someone who isn’t married or doesn’t plan to get married anytime soon and it’s their choice…!

    You get to understand a person in real time and unfurl them in a way that gives you understanding who they are and why is it the way they are…!

    People just call it marriage and that’s what their mind lacks to think and believe…!

    Childbirth

    One of the most crucial thing- that welcomes parenthood and shapes you in a way when the peaceful nights turn sleepless as the newly born child needs attention and your support…

    It’s very tricky in the first place as not all of the conceptions end up in having a child and there are many helpless parents that are working hard to have a child of their own; and when things don’t work out adoption becomes an option…!

    And this continuous tries to have one of your own pulls the love out of intimacy..!

    Yes you might not have heard that but tracking your ovulation days and being ready on a specific day/(s) kills the spontaneity and turns it stressful and a task that requires accomplishment instead of being fun and full of joy…!

    (If you know this I’m sorry for you and I hope you have a child of your own someday…!)

    And viewing this from the outside it feels like something you can’t care about,

    But when you are in the shoes of such a person you come to know the real meaning of having a child and when you’re blessed with one, it feels like the almighty rewarded you with something of a miracle themselves..!

    Death

    Yes, one of the things that makes us who we are and prepare us for the world beyond this one, the sweet embrace of death,

    Something that all of us have in common that we have to taste it once and we will never know when it will be our turn, but the fact that this is the common thing that all of us share and have kept on sharing and will do until our end…!

    It breaks a person if it’s close to you, your S/o, your father ,mother, brother or sister…!

    It hurts to a such a degree that sometimes the pain and suffering becomes unbearable and the person takes their own life as it becomes unbearable to live a life without them…!

    I’ve seen people do that and leave behind kids that were underage, some were working;

    It wasn’t something of a Sui(ide but the loss becomes unimaginable and the person gives up on living their lives and then something happens; their car swerved out of control, they fell and the blood loss was too much—

    “They cherished each other so much that they couldn’t live without each other” that’s what they say after it happens;

    But, the love that they had for each other couldn’t be shaken or taken apart…!

    (Khair)

    The life and its perspectives haunt us and make us think about who we are and what we live for;

    It might feel like it was a long read but it was necessary and worthy of each word as anytime any one of the above happens it becomes a life altering experience and changes us and our core…!

    Cheers 🥂(to a long read and a new perspective)

  • Fear of failure and another fear sparking dream…

    Fear of failure and another fear sparking dream…

    What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A Saturday morning and I woke up with a dream of which I wrote the highlights in my notes app which I will be sharing at the end of the prompt…!

    Well it is very haphazardly written because that’s how I am as soon as I wake up…!

    These dreams happen after intervals that are unpredictable but they are extremely immersive and I find them very astonishing and inspiring as they provide me a perspective that feels out of this world for me…!

    And some days they are affected by what I watch before sleeping and something like that happens in my dreams, well not an exactly alike but on the same lines…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Things that I’m scared of and what would get me to do it…!

    There are things that bring me fear

    I’m a human after all; even if some of us like to slowly tread near our fears until we have built a resistance and then one day do away with the thing that sparks the said fear…!

    For me,

    It would be the,

    The fear of failure;

    There is nothing that I fear more than falling off and not putting in enough efforts into things I like…!

    There are places I want to be and I want my penmanship to be better than what I was yesterday;

    And to achieve that I have to hit it daily which I do in an attempt to strike a cinder that can be used to light the fire that will carry on my name till the end of humanity or the end of me…!

    And that process of continuously trying to find a vision when one of the thought has been penned down and brought into this world;

    The quest of finding another concept or an idea is where the mind roams making it seemingly an easy task from the outside,

    But;

    After spending so much time in portraying this world into your words even a single day without a thought or a fixation feels like dread and until that isn’t found the life feels meaningless…!

    So-

    It all comes to trying;

    Trying yet again to find an avenue that is unexplored or untravelled and when that happens;

    The world seems an easy place to live in and a purpose is also derived out of the act of finding the right words and answers…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • Genuine dislike for cricket and these four walls…!

    Genuine dislike for cricket and these four walls…!

    What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A cool Thursday morning, which should have already been a Friday; but the world slows down its pace as soon as life seems to get hard and you have to do something you don’t like to do at work or the dread is eating you alive…;

    (Khair…)

    “You are born into this world loving a single sport and you should do it because it helps you channel your inner animal…”

    These are exact words were said by my best friend as I was at his place watching a cricket match which I had absolutely zero interest in because the next day a big project of mine was supposed to happen…!

    So,

    I tried to focus on the match but it was too chaotic for me, because I already prepare myself the night before the next day that I am supposed to achieve a specific result;

    And the match ran right into my schedule for the prepping;

    But there were drinks and a few friends and food that was enough for all of us so we thoroughly enjoyed the night…!

    Well contrary to the entire country(and a few who might feel this way…)

    I am not into cricket…!

    (There I said it…)

    I am not into the fact that there are men/woman who gather around a pitch and catch a ball that a player hit which was thrown by another player…;

    What does this signify…?

    Why I typed it so easily…?

    Why don’t I like cricket…?

    I don’t ask anyone who likes to explore this world,

    why don’t you like the comfort of the four walls that your home provides…?

    Because for resting it might be good but that can never be their destiny;

    Someone who likes to go out and about; The walls within their home block who they actually are;

    On the contrary someone who likes to stay put and loves to live within their homes;

    the same four walls brings them comfort…!

    Enough banter about why I don’t like cricket and going out of my way to prove a point,,,

    Coming back to the prompt

    Favourite sport to watch and play…

    I don’t watch sports that much so, I don’t have a favourite sport to watch at any given time but I’d love to watch polo someday and that is a dream; (only in person, not online even if they do stream it somewhere, yes there’s a website, we can watch it online but we won’t…)

    But I used to play a variety of sports during my high school years;

    It would be table tennis to begin with which I started when I was in 7th grade an I played until I was in 10th grade then I switched to basketball-ball, volleyball for a couple months;

    Which later turned into badminton which I played until I passed out from the school and I occasionally play until this day too…!

    Which makes it one of my favourite sport to play…!

    Cheers 🥂
