    Morning walks under sun and decluttering life…!

    What are some life hacks that you practice?

    26/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There are a few life hacks that I practice to keep myself sane tbh…!

    Even these things that get labelled as monotonous help me live my life to the fullest…!

    Well firstly,

    I pen down anything that I have on my mind the first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up before going to the washroom or during the time I’m sitting on the can…!

    Secondly,

    The morning walks that help me declutter my mind,

    And,

    It helps me get a fresh perspective into life while looking at these flowers, leaves and people who surround us…!

    Thirdly

    I think I sit on a lot of things and believe the fact that everything that comes to me doesn’t necessarily has to be an inspiration that I can work on at that very instant,

    But some of them are a fragments that I can conveniently place in a story line later or somewhat of a life lesson which helps me picture a piece later..!

    Fourth

    When something hurts me,

    I turn to writing about it from both gendered perspectives which gives me an insight to work on later…!

    This thinking from both ways has given me an insight into how it feels to the feminine character too…!

    Lastly

    I manage my time a whole lot,

    I try to fix my hours at work and not overwork myself because that gives me less and less reason to continue it the next day…!

    And,

    But,

    All of the things come to a halt when I’m writing…!

    I guess these four hacks are the top most of the things that I do,

    Honestly—

    To live this life in a fuller way and better way than to rot in my bed…!

    An activity that is somewhat of a fixed thing that happens on my day off…!

    🫪😂

    What are the life hacks that you have which let you life a better life…?

    Do let me know in the comments…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A strong believer in karma and how karma points are managed by our mutual conscience…

    A strong believer in karma and how karma points are managed by our mutual conscience…

    Do you believe in karma?

    25/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I am a strong believer in the concept of karma…!

    Well,

    To a point that if I think bad about someone/something(which I don’t…!)

    I have to pay it back multifold,

    Like,

    The universe waits and thinks that it needs to teach me a lesson…!

    Khair

    Yes,

    My belief in karma predates me,

    To be honest I think that hell is here and we have to face each and every one of the bad thing that we did,

    Even if it’s something like badmouthing someone…!

    And,

    A portion of karmic points are carried over to this world of ours from our previous life if we passed away untimely…!

    To be honest there are a lot of things that I feel I have to face which I think are a part of what I owed in last life,

    And,

    I am humbly doing my part with a hope that I do no harm to anyone,

    Say no bad about anyone,

    And think nothing bad about anyone…!

    And if,

    I said something bad to someone without knowing,

    I apologise,

    I sincerely do,

    But,

    I hope you can correct me so that I won’t repeat it ever again…!

    And,

    If you don’t,

    Then I don’t think I’m to blame,

    I’m a human after all,

    Not an ever knowing G0d who knows what’s going on in your mind…!

    What if our world ran on karma points instead of whatever we currently are right now…?

    Do let me know how you feel…!

    Check out the album by Karan Aujla

    We get the hint of old Karan Aujla in this one and the track rap killer featuring Azaad4L is an absolute banger…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • All paths that lead to a reader’s heart…! ♥️

    All paths that lead to a reader’s heart…! ♥️

    How do you write what people actually want to read?

    24/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    To be honest when a person sits to write, it’s not always that they write for the world…!

    Sometimes a piece of text is written to get that heavy feeling of your chest,

    And,

    Sometimes a scenario is prepared that happened to them or someone they know…!

    To me some pieces come in short bursts like a perspective here and there,

    Or,

    An ending of a story or a scene that came to my mind and I have to create a story behind it all…!

    It really differs from person to person,

    The writing process too—

    Some people like to tweak it to look professional and provide the reader with a sense that the author is refined;

    Some leave it rough and that is something i like an abrupt ending here, which gives me a sense that the author didn’t stretch a thought longer than they had to…!

    I mean,

    Sometimes you have to write something that is not normal—

    Something that is attention grabbing and keeps people hooked,

    Or,

    Something spicy…!

    Well,

    The things we do to grab the attention of our readers…! 🥲

    Khair

    The process of writing differs from person to person,

    And,

    That is what makes each writing unique—

    Unique to a point where people steal each others stuff too and present it to be theirs…!

    And that is where clash happens…!

    There are a lot of things that get plagiarised and often writers come under heat and somehow the issues are quashed sometimes they float on forever like the case of

    Rupi Kaur and Nayyirah Waheed

    Well,

    People who write—

    Write;

    What are you going to do about it,

    Some write without uploading or worrying about how world will perceive it at all…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Being spontaneous and planning a trip to Shimla…!

    Being spontaneous and planning a trip to Shimla…!

    What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?

    23/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    The most spontaneous thing that I ever did was to leave…!

    To be honest I left home in the late hours before my day off i.e. A Sunday and travelled…!

    Well,

    I ended up exploring Delhi that day…!

    I went without a thought just my phones and a wallet with some money in it…!

    That’s it…!

    I ended up talking to a friend of mine who lives in old Delhi and told him that I was in the vicinity and if he was free and to my coincidence he was…!

    It was paranthas at first which we shared and later it was Karim’s where we worded butter chicken and mutton mughlai with plain rice and butter naan…!

    My mouth feels like it’s watering right now remembering the flavor…!

    🤤🤤

    Another one was crashing at a friends place after I called him out of blue and asked him about his well being…!

    We hung out for a while, had coffee and decided to crash the night after getting dinner and this guy was a pure vegetarian so we grabbed some snacks chaap and paneer and the ol reliable black dal and a kadai panner with butter naan…!

    Lastly,

    I’d call the most spontaneous thing that I ever did was the trip to Shimla…!

    Yes,

    I just got paid and decided to spend the time with a friend who shifted to America..!

    We planned the trip and were out of our homes with a bag and another one with the booze that we carried on ourselves…!

    We reached Shimla, booked a spot and went out during the day and drank at night with company,

    Snacks and a light dinner later…!

    Even if it feels like I’m not that spontaneous,

    I’ve had my share of romance too…!

    I mean I surprised my now ex who lived an hour away from my residence where I surprised her with a cake and a plan for a night out which was refused by her because her parents being strict and all…!

    And we spend the few hours that we had with each other and after grabbing coffee and cutting the cake I dropped her off at her home and she invited me in which I refused because we weren’t a thing at that point…!

    Khair

    Let bygones be bygone…!

    What about you…?

    Did you do something that you would consider spontaneous…?

    Well it doesn’t have to be every day, these instances were months apart to be honest…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Ways I unfurl and process self care…

    Ways I unfurl and process self care…

    How do you make time for self-care?

    22/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Slept as a sober man last night after the cravings almost killed me last night…!

    To be honest,

    By the end my mind was telling me that a swig won’t matter,

    And,

    You can always start to be sober the next day,

    Can’t you…?

    Which seems funny and pathetic because when I look at what state I was in last night—

    I thank the powers that helped myself…!

    Nothing more…!

    😇

    To be honest,

    What even is self care…?

    Does it mean something like taking a bath with candles or does it mean having a skin care routine or does it mean visiting a business like a coffee shop shop or having a spa day which helps you relax…!

    I feel it’s much less glamorous for me…!

    Sometimes it’s just fixing on not touching a drop of alcohol when everything in your body wants you to…!

    Sometimes it’s pushing myself to go on a morning walk, maybe it’s a playlist that helps me by keeping going or it’s a half hour YouTube video that I wanted to watch but I wasn’t able to…!

    Sometimes its just cleaning my room in the morning so that I have a clean and quiet room to return to which helps me sleep better and I don’t have to worry about cleaning or arranging sheets at night…!

    Sometimes it’s just crying about things that aren’t in my control when memories of someone who was with me hits harder…!

    Sometimes it’s just this,

    Writing into a prompt how I feel in a hope this helps someone out someday…!

    Sometimes it’s just sitting in the sun in the morning soaking it all in,

    Sometimes it’s just me staring at the moon and thinking about someone who was with me and remembering them…!

    What if our self care differs from someone else,

    It’s the way we are and how we cop or care about ourselves and our well being…!

    Isn’t it…?

    And now to answer the prompt at last

    How do I make time for self care….?

    Some days it’s more like I shift the self care to the weekends,

    Until all of the things that haunt me come to me at once which I know is not healthy,

    But,

    This is how it is somedays because I don’t have time to think about them on the weekdays…!

    Other days I make time from my normal routine like grabbing Nagori tea on my way to work and sipping it while I work…!

    Some days it’s stopping by this cafe and trying a new coffee that I didn’t have before…!

    Well,

    If you want to exist like a normal person,

    You cannot do that without taking care of yourself first…!

    How do you shave off time in your normal routine to do self care…?

    Do let me know…!

    Some days I feel like the flower that is blooming but other days I feel like the one in the middle…!

    Selfcaremaxxing until we feel good…! 😂

    Cheers 🥂

  • A space away from home that you belong to…

    A space away from home that you belong to…

    What’s a place you visited that felt like home?

    21/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There are many places that I visited—

    But,

    Only a few of them made me feel like home…!

    I’d say the first place that felt like home was a friends place to be honest I’ve been there a couple of times and I crashed there one night with him as we drank and talked about old times…!

    It was the place that felt like home to me…!

    And,

    Another place that feels like home is the place which we used to call our grandparents house…!

    Well,

    Now it has become our Mama’s house(maternal uncle…)!

    But,

    The feelings still take us back to the nostalgic days we spent with our cousins once the place was filled with people who we loved and cared for…!

    Nothing matches the way we felt back then…!

    To be honest;

    There is no place like home…!

    But,

    Once you feel choking there,

    Or feel like you don’t belong there,

    All you can do is feel like even the place which you once considered home isn’t one…!

    .

    I’m genuinely sorry if you feel this way…!

    The only place that I can safely say that isn’t home but feels like home is the arms of loved one or someone who has been with you through thick and thin,

    And,

    Still stands with you to this day…!

    And I hope there is someone who makes you feel this way,

    Even if no one is like that right now—

    I hope someone comes by soon to pick you up and make it their responsibility that you are well and taken care of..!

    This became a late night post to be honest,

    After pest control guys came to check out pour wooden furniture, around 11 in the morning;

    And,

    Because we didn’t book the last appointment on time and it was after three years that I found and booked the services,

    The inside of a door is ridden with termites and it’s young ones…!

    Plus,

    A skirting that went around the bed and touched the top of the room which had lights fitted into it was completely gone…!

    So,

    We had to pull it all down breaking it and somewhat of the wall that it was fixed on…!

    Have to shell out around 50 grand for this now but this was a mistake on our part…!

    It’s was a long day and I am going to sleep like a log today;

    Maybe a nightcap will help,

    But,

    Being sober is something that I chose and I want to be true to that…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Wishing I could have told these truths about us to my younger self…!

    Wishing I could have told these truths about us to my younger self…!

    What’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life?

    20/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing great…!

    This will be a late night post as I’m writing this at 23:24 hours at night…!

    Well,

    There aren’t many things that I hope I would have changed because it would mean that I would deviate from the path that I’m on right now…!

    And if it were like that,

    Id for sure miss out on a lot of things that im learning through hardships and being under pressure which also helps to develope myself better…!

    But,

    If you were to ask me something that I’d have started to do early;

    It would be accepting how I look like,

    And,

    Consider myself worthy of love…

    To be honest even right now,

    I am at a point in my life that a girl is trying her level best to shower me with her love,

    But,

    I really hope I can talk to her and tell her that I’m not going to be enough as I cannot provide her with love and affection that she would expect from her partner…!

    It’s more like I think I’m not capable of providing love which in fact forces me to think that anyone that comes into my life comes with intentions that aren’t pure…!

    And,

    I’d love if I accepted the fact earlier that I don’t have a face that gets loved or cared for…!

    It’s more like a resting bitch face and droopy eyes that make people think that I’m on something all the time but,

    It happened in my high school years when I used to have this massive pain in my eyebrow area which after going away gave me these droopy eyes…!

    The earlier I’d accept that this face leaning towards a sort of responsibility and comes at a cost that people assume a whole lot more that. They should…!.

    Well,

    If I could have accepted these two facts earlier,

    I would have given up on people and opportunities which appeared from afar that they had a veil of positivity—

    But,

    On getting a closer look I saw what really was going on and what intentions they had…!

    Khair,

    Life will happen and within it things too…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A courageous and cute pet…!

    A courageous and cute pet…!

    If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?

    19/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I think a lot of things happened that took us to a fictional world and explore our mind this past week…!

    Having 3 prompts that push us to explore the fictional world and our mindset is something that I didn’t think happens before…!

    Well,

    A fictional animal that I’d keep as a lifelong companion would be either

    Courage the cowardly dog,

    Or,

    Toothless the dragon…!

    I know they are polar opposite in many cases,

    But,

    When push comes to shove they become absolute monsters and protect the people they love as much as they can…!

    We know courage is said to be cowardly but, we see instances where he protects Muriel and the house with all that he has…!

    He also sympathises with those aliens who were wronged by people here on earth and helps by freeing them and helping them in some way which makes him a just pet too…!

    And,

    Imagine your pet can surf the net and take advice from a sarcastic computer that is arrogant to a point that it feels like you are being attacked but,

    He’s genuinely trying to help you underneath all of that…!

    Choosing Toothless as a pet would be a blast—

    I mean travel distances are cut short,

    You have a pet dragon…!

    A dragon 🐉

    Who behaves like a dog and cuddles up next to you…!

    Can you ever believe that…?

    Imagine you are stuck somewhere and you call out to them and they come to your rescue and save you from the problem that you are in at any moment…!

    And,

    You can scratch them all over their body and they won’t bite you…?!

    He’s very much into keeping those people who are dear to them safe from anything that can cause them harm…!

    Sacrificing even himself to achieve that…!

    Also,

    He becomes such a great parent by taking care of their young ones too and their lifelong commitment to light fury or Luna…!

    Oh my G0d my mind is going crazy thinking what all we could do with toothless as a pet…!

    These would be my two fictional animals that I’d love to keep with myself if possible…!

    Do let me know if you would love to have someone as a companion in comments box…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Spending a week being Bilbo Baggins from LOTR

    Spending a week being Bilbo Baggins from LOTR

    If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

    18/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Why does this prompt feels like I’ve already answered it…?

    Khair

    It’s a new day and a refurbished prompt has come to me to write about what goes on in my mind when I read the two lines given to me…!

    I’d happily choose to spend a week of my life being Bilbo Baggins from the Lord of the rings series or the book called The hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien…!

    Talking about normal life in hobbiton…

    If the week is spent at home where I can wake up late and have a hearty breakfast and spend time travelling to the market in hobbiton Spend some time with a friend and return home before dark…!

    And next day I can spend inside writing and reading and having a big dinner as one of my friend joins me during the day…!

    I ask them to stay for dinner and they after denying a couple of time agree and we have a big dinner yet another day…!

    The weekend becomes a time where I can go walk around the shire and absorb in the scenery and green lush trees and farms where there is no threat to life…!

    On the polar opposite if the life is spent treading through these dangerous mountains the life becomes comically opposite…!

    The life suddenly becomes survival…!

    I try to do a wellness checkup on who survived last night and we eat a smaller portion until the density is achieved..!

    Another day is spent looking for a small path that leads up toe mountain and we tread on it hoping it is the right path..!

    Life certainly becomes miserable when the weather becomes cold and we are hit with shower or snow which makes taking each step ahead unsafe…!

    Another day we discover a safe looking cave and it was somewhat of a ruse as we discover a dragon resting deep within it and we run…!

    Run for our lives…!

    We do a head count yet again and tread on the path yet again…!

    I’d think of myself…!

    Why the hell did I leave home…???

    And curse myself too…!

    That’s how a random week of mine would be spent as Bilbo baggins…!

    Which fictional character would you spend your life as…?

    Do let me know…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • How we create villains amongst us…!

    How we create villains amongst us…!

    Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?

    17/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Yes,

    Sometimes there are villains whose end goals are better than even heroes…!

    But,

    What matters is the path that they chose to achieve those goals…!

    Imagine thanos doing all of it for the betterment of humanity,

    Erasing half of the population just with a single click—

    But,

    The simply turning half of the population to dust is not the way to go,

    Well it would be cruel to the point where we would consider him to be one of the biggest villain but he wanted us to live better lives and not compete our entire lives for limited resources…!

    Look at magneto

    A holocaust survivor who developed the ability to manipulate magnetism, his growing up came with a lot of problems by experiencing N/\zi persecution and losing many loved ones just because of a race they belonged to…!

    Which ingrained in him that mutants cannot simply coexist with humans and they cannot depend on humans for their safety and well being— a matter that mutants had to take in their own hands…!

    Because someday fear will arise and it will cause humans to hunt the mutants(because they couldn’t leave fellow humans who look and talk in the same way as them on this face of earth…!)

    At last looking at Loki

    Everyone sees a hysterical person who is straight up villain,

    But,

    If you look deeper you will see someone who struggles with his identity,

    Someone who is constantly in a search of a sense of belonging where ever they went…!

    And,

    At the end is confused to the point which leaves him with a question that does he have a choice in who he becomes at the end…?

    In all of the three cases we see these people(not villains) fighting a version or a thought in which they grew up which forced them to choose a path which seemed fit for them back when they endured it all…!

    These villains are something we created and then we curse them for being a reflection of us…!

    Cheers 🥂
