    Five apps around which I live my life…!

    What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone?

    02/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    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…!

    Luna by Diljit Dosanjh

  • Finding a long lost friend on a random outing…!

    Finding a long lost friend on a random outing…!

    What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?

    01/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Let’s make this a short one without ranting about my day today…!


    The best thing that I found on the streets were the hug of a friend I knew from the school times…!


    I was walking to a shop in old Delhi where I buy my silver from…!

    So,

    On the way to the shop I encountered a friend of mine who used to study with me in high school and I came across him,

    On a random Monday as I was out to make a business purchase…!


    And,

    To be honest,

    I cried in his arms,

    As I opened up to him,

    How there was less and less people to talk about things and instances haunting me in life….!


    So,

    I hugged and talked to him about life,

    How my dad died and a good friend of mine had moved abroad to look for better opportunities,

    And I was all alone here…!


    Khair

    I found,

    A person who cared for me,

    Back then…!

    And I talk to him once a week and if I get a chance I see him twice, maybe thrice a week…!


    Where we talk about life,

    About business and things that go on in our lives on the daily…!


    It wasn’t something I could purchase or a piece of object that I found,

    But,

    It was a loved one who really cared about me and I did about him…!


    I hope you really have someone like this in your life…!


    Do you guys even listen to the song I post here…?

    Do let me know the song of the day that you feel resonates with you the most…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • A girl who changed my perspective…

    A girl who changed my perspective…

    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…!

    And it’s the end of either one of them…!

    That is who

    Nseeb is and will be forever…!

  • Business owners and their fight each day…!

    Business owners and their fight each day…!

    If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why?

    30/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Yeah,

    It’s late at night right now and I have to give you a perspective,

    A peek into my mind and what it thinks right now…!


    It was a good day,

    A bit hectic and pushing a few deadlines to the day after tomorrow I.e. Tuesday; we packed up today…!


    Coming back to the prompt…!

    Well,

    If it ever became me chasing money then this business would collapse the very next day…!

    Because,

    It would genuinely be better to work any other job that paid consistently every month…!


    No matter what package you chase;

    Seven figures, eight figures, in the matter of a year

    Or

    a matter of a few months,

    Or

    Each month…!


    I heard there are some who are flipping bricks and making their bosses the same amount that you and I spend an year chasing;

    In a single day…!

    But,

    You cannot ignore the risks that come with doing that kind of work…!


    Let’s stay on the legal path for now…!

    If I were ever in any job that has the inconsistency that a business owner faces,

    You’d start kicking the managers and other top level executives before talking and settling things…!


    It could be that you can achieve your monthly salary today,

    And,

    You are sitting in a few ten thousands figure the rest of the week and that is how it remains…!


    If I were to be paid my monthly salary and pushes into a field that is different from this,

    It would most likely be teaching or working as a supervisor in some other place,

    Or,

    Be a better writer who writes how he likes and people gobble it all up,

    But,

    How does that even happens before we leave this earth for good,

    And,

    Someone accidentally stumbles upon our stuff one day…!


    (Khair…)

    Not to sound so negative,

    But,

    That’s how life is…!

    You might think not for you—

    But,

    It’s important that you know life is like that for all of us,

    We have to take rest in death’s embrace and we won’t be able to share what it feels like to anyone ever..!


    Let’s be a good person before our life comes to an end…!

    Answer prompt,

    Read them,

    Comment how they mad you feel and let me

    Know if there is a need to improve…!


    Song of the day/night is here

    Iykyk

    I know you heard it in cassette or cds and now they exist in your Spotify or YouTube playlist…!

    When you feel like nothing makes sense in love life,

    Or,

    You’re generally upset in life…!

    You’ll find vibing with Mughal-e-Azam songs a whole lot…!

    Watch/listen to ponder life or someone who left you…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Capturing life at right moments…!

    Capturing life at right moments…!

    Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?

    29/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It was a good day today because I was able to focus at work and hack away a good chunk of it,

    And I hope tomorrow is a tad bit better and I complete a major chunk tomorrow too…!


    This evening was a nice one because I got to talk with a friend of mine who went out to New Zealand for work—

    And he’s perusing masters course in Auckland…!

    He’s in desperate need of work and I’m trying my level best to find some for him by hitting up my people and relatives who live near him…!

    I hope he finds some work so that he can manage to work and study at the same time…!

    Cross my heart


    Coming back to the prompt

    A hobby that I’ve picked up would be taking photos…! 📷

    Well,

    It’s nothing special to be honest right now,

    But,

    It’s something that I’m doing…!


    And it’s not because I have to prove something to someone,

    But,

    It’s more of keeping a memory of what I did…!


    Well,

    These prompts are coming and going,

    And I’m trying my level best to bring a perspective, well my perspective to all of you and if that helps even a single person,

    My purpose has already been fulfilled…!


    Well,

    The these photos currently only have a home in my instants app on my phone,

    Available for 24 hours only;

    But,

    They are being used each day for the image of the prompts or any other piece of texts I write here each day…!


    I’d like to give you an example…!

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7(final)

    The last image was snapped this morning…!


    I’ll upload another one of the images tomorrow…!


    Until then

    Song of the day is here

    Confess by Jerry…!

    This song exactly portrays what it feels like to confess to a significant other and they don’t do what they usually do like breaking people hearts,

    But,

    They handle your feelings and your love with care even though they have the world chasing them…!

    A beautiful song with an even more beautiful meaning and Jerry’s voice with prodgk’s music is a dangerous combination…!

    Confess by one and only Jerry

    Goodnight to everyone and happy Sunday…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

  • Rakhi celebrations and coincidences that shocked me…!

    Rakhi celebrations and coincidences that shocked me…!

    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


    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • Unread books that demand our attention and Rakhi celebrations…

    Unread books that demand our attention and Rakhi celebrations…

    What’s a book you never finished but still think about?

    27/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The day is almost over,

    It started later because I took my sister to apply mehandi on her hands…!

    Because tomorrow is Rakhsha Bandhan…!


    This was the design that she had in her mind even before she visited…!

    She chose this one from 50 designs that she took screenshots of from Instagram and many other sources that she won’t reveal to me…!


    There are many books that I have in my nightstand,

    In my almirah,

    In my storeroom,

    And one in my bag…!


    The books range from religious scriptures like the Quran,

    To,

    Mein kampf…!


    And,

    Most of them are on my reading list…!


    Some of them are in the paperback form,

    Some are in EPUB form,

    Some are sitting as just as titles in my notes app…!


    But,

    All of them are waiting to be read,

    Explored,

    And perceived from perspective different which gives birth to ideas far beyond life…!


    Look at the view this evening…!

    Song of the night is here

    Ranjish hee sahi…!

    All you need is headphones or surround sound earphones;

    Maybe a glass half full with some spirit and yourself in the arms of a loved one…!

    Mehdi Hassan feels like ointment on your wound and something that brings you peace…!

    Do go through this if you can…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Escaping to middle earth for vacation…!

    Escaping to middle earth for vacation…!

    Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in?

    26/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    This day is a special one to be honest because we have Onam and Milad Un-Nabi coinciding with each other on the same day…!


    So,

    Happy Onam to the people who celebrate Onam and I know the flower decorations are more beautiful than what seems to the naked eyes…!

    And no matter if you make or order Onam Sadya, I hope everyone enjoys it with you…!


    The same with Milad Un-Nabi or Mawlid

    The birth of the Prophet Mohammad

    I know there will be public processions and religious gatherings where verses from The Quran will be recited…!

    Meals will be prepared and donated to those who are needy and poetry will be recited in the name of the god…!

    I hope,

    God accepts and gives you more in abundance when you help those in need…!


    Coming back to the prompt…!

    Vacation in a fictional world…!

    It would probably the middle earth from the lord of the rings…!


    Not where I have to fight orcs and dragons while being on my tippy toes,

    But,

    The shire would be a start…!


    Imagine waking up in a hobbit house and having breakfast, walking through hills and luscious greens and having nothing urgent to do or any distractions…!

    It would simply mean peace,

    Reading books, having conversations and talking to people about how they reached here and how their lives are…!

    It would be impossible for me to leave even after spending a week there..


    The areas like Gondor, Rivendell are also a part of the lotr series where I would love to explore and fall into love with…!


    Gondor would throw me into the question,

    Who was here before…?

    Who did they lose to…?

    Who were the survivors…?

    What was built here before…?


    I would leave with more questions than answers and it would be perfectly fine…!


    Rivendell would be another one of my choices because it’s a place full of knowledge,

    Centuries of history, languages spoken, songs or sonnets, stories of the past, maps identifying the fallen kingdoms whose existence exists only in those pages…!

    Waiting to be explored by someone…!

    I would gnaw off the mind of someone who would answer one of these questions and I wouldn’t leave until I was beaten out of the place…!

    With my increasingly specific questions to gain as much knowledge as I can…!

    🥲


    (Khair)

    Fictional world is fictional for a reason,

    Yet,

    I hope all of us have a space where we can escape if push comes to shove…!


    Song of the day is here

    Away by Cheema Y

    There is a reason that we want away from the world or the silence or a way out of from all these distractions…

    Cheema Y accurately described how there is a lot going on and how no one is innocent and there are a lot that happens when you return to a place where you are wanted(by law due to his popularity…)

    The song is a plea to people on how day ones flip and how everything seems like it’s out to get him and use him…!

    Away by Cheema Y

  • Saving a few masterpieces from Alexandria and how travelling in rain altered by daily life…!

    Saving a few masterpieces from Alexandria and how travelling in rain altered by daily life…!

    If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?

    25/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know this is late,

    But,

    By the God the day I’ve had today…!


    My cousin brother took my car and was supposed to return early in the morning and I planned to drop my massi(my mothers sister) to the New Delhi railway station,

    But,

    My brother didn’t return…!


    So I ordered a cab and sent my sister and my massi to the railway station and I drove my scooty there…!

    And before we could reach the station the train was already there,

    Waiting to leave and she was supposed to get on number 16th coach;

    And we reached at number 6;

    So my sister made her board the train on number 6 coach and she walked slowly on the platform following her as she walked…!

    Whereas I,

    Normally walked and reached the 16th coach with a few minutes to spare…!


    The gates closed and the train left infront of our eyes and she was in coach number 10;

    Within a span of five minutes as the crowd sat down she reached her coach and sat on her seat from where she sent her photograph…!


    Twas a vande Bharat going to Katra…!

    But,

    Her stop was Ludhiana…!


    And as I picked up my Scootie from the parking area,

    It began to rain…!

    I mean rain like god didn’t want to stop…!

    We were already soaking wet,

    But decided to make a pit stop,

    And drink some Nagori tea…!

    After which we left and reached home all drenched…!


    And let me tell you something,

    I reached home around 7 in the morning,

    And after taking a shower with hot water I slept for 3 hours straight and I had no clue what was going on…!

    I went into such a delusional state that I woke up at 10:08 already late for work,

    So I packed my bag and left for work..!

    After taking another cup of Nagori tea in my Tupperware…!


    And,

    That morning sleep made me almost delusional,

    I know I was working but I couldn’t focus,

    I was aware of the work that I was doing, worried about what I had to achieve by the end of the day,

    But,

    I was a bit less worried about it all..!.


    Khair

    The prompt has to be answered too…!


    Witnessing an historical event…!

    It would probably be,

    The great burning of the Alexandria library


    I’d like not to be a witness,

    But,

    Would love to be someone who could save atleast one of the books lost in the incident…!


    Only the almighty knows,

    Or those who wrote those books with an intention of leaving the knowledge behind to those who would read and understand it would know—

    The riches that we lost,

    To the major fire,

    And gradual loss of people who could act as a medium of uncovering and taking care of these ancient texts which were passed on through generations,

    Which would have been ours to read and explore but,

    We couldn’t…!


    I don’t know what I could have done,

    But,

    For sure I would have taken a few Rosetta stones of Indus Valley civilisation if they were available;

    Or,

    Taken some books related to medicine and something that could have helped us…


    I don’t have the song of the day today…!

    But,

    A task for all of you…!

    Do help someone in need if you can…!

    It doesn’t matter how you do it,

    Maybe it’s some food,

    Or maybe you help someone by dropping them off at work,


    Just be the reason of someone’s smile today…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Deciding what my first tattoo would be—

    Deciding what my first tattoo would be—

    If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

    24/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well..!

    I know my post is late today as it was a day off for me,

    And after what felt like an eternity I tried to sleep longer than my routine—

    Importance on the tried… 😂🥲


    I was awoken by my sister’s plan to go to gurudwara Bangla Sahib…!

    And,

    I was charged with a task,

    A task to watch and tell the cleaning lady to clean the house properly…!


    And after being woken up at 6 in the morning,

    She didn’t arrive until 1,

    And guess what,

    Thanks to her,

    I lost the chance to complete my sleep…!

    So yeah,

    I’m feeling well and not have even a single shred of anger or sleeplessness right now…!

    😞👀


    Let’s finish this prompt so I can go and sleep in and wake up well rested which I know is a joke that I tell myself…!

    👹


    Yeah,

    So my first tattoo would probably be,

    A string of numbers…!

    Like the number

    369


    Another choice would be the number

    143422

    The above number is the name of the album by an artist that is up and coming and has been outperforming everyone that has come up ever again…!

    His name is Gagg-E…!


    But,

    That is something I feel which I will reheat later on in life…!


    But,

    Something that I have created,

    Or,

    Someone who I have become,

    That is what I will continue to be until the end of my life,

    Which is Waakiye…!

    So,

    My first tattoo would probably be,

    Something like the letter W,

    Surrounded by a circle with leaves,

    And those circle are interrupted by semi colon…!


    Something like this

    Yes,

    I do have it saved in my photos app just in case…!


    So my first tattoo would be the above one…!


    Song of the day is here…!

    G.O.D

    Grind or die…!

    If you know SMG aka Sardari Music Gang, you are already an elite listener;

    The trio has been on the rise so much that it’s hard to miss…!

    The song forces us to grind hard or die trying…!

    The music video is also available which displays how much money was spent on it and made to perfection…!

    Accurately capturing how Majhail are…!

    The video will be below for all of you to check it out…!

    And they don’t miss…!


    Cheers 🥂
