  • Turmeric milk for immunity and a vision of the past…

    Turmeric milk for immunity and a vision of the past…

    What were your parents doing at your age?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A warm morning it is because somewhere during the night I turned the fan on full because I was sweating through my t shirt last night…!

    So I slept with the fan on full with a blanket covering me up…

    But this morning as soon as I opened my window a cool breeze brought me chill, and I have been occasionally sneezing all throughout the day yesterday…!

    Maybe I’ll drink some turmeric milk this week or the coming week to get some immunity in…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    What were our parents doing at our current age…?!

    Well in my case my mom and dad had just been married-

    It has only been a year of their marriage and they were finding each other’s quirks and habits out…!

    And when they got to my age, A year later— they tried to conceive me and my sister , but a lot of the time they weren’t able to conceive…!

    This year and a few following them were very depressive for them because all of their efforts went down in vain and any chance of conception they thought they had was going away from them as every month came and went…!

    She really was depressed and the entire joint family was facing the raft of it because in the home if there are failure in conception and a few miscarriages the life becomes miserable and unliveable…!

    Those were some extremely hard times that my mom and dad both of them pulled though;

    And I thank them for having me and the type of blessing we(my sister and I) were and are to her— And a proof of our father still guiding us from the world beyond this one…!

    May his soul get eternal peace…! 🕊️

    Cheers 🥂

  • Different perspectives and goals that affect us…!

    Different perspectives and goals that affect us…!

    What could you do differently?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    First thing it’s scary that it’s only Wednesday today when this could have already been a Thursday for me,

    And we are already first week into the new year as we speak…!

    Another lie that I cannot seem to believe at all…!

    Well I’ve felt that time flies past quickly these days; but I’ve never ever felt such haste…

    Coming to the prompt because thinking that makes me go crazy…!

    What could I do differently…?

    Another one of those broad questions of you ask me,

    I mean what i could to differently in life, at work, at relationships or what; the horizon is so broad…!

    Well for beginning,

    I want to be up early and stay awake for the some time and complete work that I’ve taken upon myself (writing short stories and some skits…)

    Second would be to have enough energy left to join a gym after work because that is something I want to involve myself in…

    Third would be to be more active and great at conversation and keeping up either my friendships and relationships that I have with people (both in and outside of work…)

    The last would be to be a better person than who I am right now, because there is suffering that I see around me, but I’m not that loaded that I can help everyone that I see;

    So I just want to be in a better place so that I can help those around me, well if not strangers I’d be happy to help those who are a part of my family by helping them get up on their feet and give them a much needed boost that will pull them out of their slow and stagnant life…(only if they need my help…)

    There are many things that can be done differently, much of it depends on the perspective of self and those who is affected by the change isn’t it…?

    Well to a better future shall we tread…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • In a Loud World, Find Someone Who Listens

    In a Loud World, Find Someone Who Listens

    What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s another Sunday and I hope you went to bed sooner than you expected;

    You won’t believe the response that I got from people they believed that it would be better to just stay in, spend some time with their family or stay indoors maybe with a friend after grabbing a bottle, sharing it and crashing at their place or letting them crash at your place;

    This was more of a response I got;

    Some were like my parents aren’t home so I will spend the night with my boyfriend/girlfriend and there were a few who decided to go out to drink or have food…!

    A wild change has been brought by the year 2026 into the lives of people that live around us;

    Maybe a change was indeed needed, to be self introspective and knowing who is right and who to keep alongside you and people are doing that this year;

    Filtering and cutting their circle to a few good people instead of a bunch of people who show up just because they get a free treat out of you…!

    Coming back to the prompt;

    What would be the greatest gift someone could ever give me…?

    For me it would be their Trust and Genuine presence;

    Imagine knowing someone and you fully trust them with your secrets, your life and anything that goes on in it;

    And when something goes wrong they show up to put you in your arms and gently bring you from a scary place back into this world;

    I really have to thank the almighty for putting someone like that in my life;

    They have been a sort of pillar in my life that I can take support of when nothing else is going right and they also guide me when nothing is going right in my life;

    One of the most important things;

    They become a place where I can freely say out things without being judged and they let me know when I’m in the right headspace or not;

    And they always listen to me keenly whenever or whatever I have to speak about;

    The last part is extremely important;

    And there aren’t many who just listen to you, because this is a fast paced world and everyone has their priorities,

    But can you imagine having someone like that…!

    I’m extremely blessed…!

    Also this goes both ways,

    If you want to be with a person who has all of this qualities, you will have to be one such person beforehand;

    By being someone like that before you will find yourself in a place where you will help people out too by hearing them and providing them with comfort and then you will find yourself in a place where you are surrounded by many such people who are like that…!

    With that being said,

    Their trust and genuine presence in your life would be the optimum answer for this prompt…!

    Take it slowly it’s a Sunday morning, I know you are going to wake up late and then contemplate your day maybe your life later;

    But,

    Find someone to talk to, a genuine connection;

    The comments box are free here…! 😁

    Cheers 🥂

  • A dream that didn’t come true…!

    A dream that didn’t come true…!

    What colleges have you attended?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Whew, the weekend is upon us finally and I hope all of you are now ready to finally let loose because what a week it was,

    I remember celebrating new year then going back to work in the morning 😭😔;

    But not today;

    All of the work can be done on Monday and all the enjoyment happens today and some tomorrow(I.e. a Sunday)

    Coming back to the prompt,

    What colleges have I attended;

    I’m letting you know this once,

    I actually missed all of the college life because of some financial issues that we coincidentally got when I was supposed to be a part of the college and pursue my dreams;

    It was back in 2017 and I was supposed to take admission in the college of my choice;

    But it was outright refused by my father as he laid the facts in-front of me, it was very shocking and devastatingly cruel thing that happened to me, because entirety of my dream came to a collapse;

    So I had to pursue another course from an open university,(Du SOL)

    All of the material was available to pick from their office and I spent my whole three years going back and forth once to the place and the rest of the time I spent my time preparing from home;

    Later I was pushed into joining the family business which wasn’t a part of my curriculum at all and that led to technically destroying whatever I learnt from the place because I started the work from the grime and learnt as I went upwards;

    Well that sad story is supposed to be told another day;

    I wish all of you readers a very happy new year and I hope your dreams come true this year;

    Try to reflect on life sometimes, see how your child or your partner or even a stranger would react once they come to know your actions and story from someone else…!

    Would they be happy or sad or outright refuse to play your part;

    This becomes a very powerful reminder to amend or change your ways…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Involving self into some sports and the impact of Roblox

    Involving self into some sports and the impact of Roblox

    Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

    Hey..!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s second of january and I hope all of you are still working hard to move according to your goals,

    This might be too soon,

    But,

    As many people I’ve talked to, they haven’t set any concrete goals for the year and the fact that they don’t have anything that pushes them above and beyond to work hard enough to gain something that they dreamt of earlier…!

    Maybe the depreciation value of rupee is to blame, maybe it’s the fact that anything and everything that we buy costs more than what it should…!

    Maybe the widespread distrust in the fact that it would get any better than what currently is going on…!

    For me it’s the fact that new year came on the weirdest day, a Thursday…!?

    Some people are sending me messages today, and I got confused for a second myself;

    Like “ I hope I didn’t wish people New Year’s wishes a day ahead…!”

    But I didn’t and I wasn’t wrong…!

    I don’t know what’s up with that…?

    Well,

    Coming back to the prompt;

    This prompt couldn’t have come at a good time,

    One of my goals this year is to include actual time to sports or something that I consider playtime…!

    I have a nephew that comes to my home and wants me to play Roblox with him, and I kid you not within 15-20 minutes entirety of my brain starts to hurt 😢(and he plays it for hours upon hours…!!!)

    Sometime he wants to play “rivals” a first person shooter game..

    and

    Sometimes he just plays (I don’t know if I’m saying the name right…!)

    “Steal a/the brainrot…”

    And let me tell you something,

    The entire premise of the game,

    “Is to steal a freaking brainrot and keep your base safe and locked, maybe buy some of them and level up(which I haven’t found out how do to it as of yet…?!)”

    No I wasn’t speaking gibberish, it is the actual game and the actual truth…!

    But,

    Yeah I want to involve myself in some sort of sport like badminton or table tennis, because that’s what we played when I was young and we enjoy it a whole lot now when we make time to play,

    Which is also replaced by a mini game in Roblox…🥲🥲

    Something that says playtime to me means that can be free of the stresses that this world brings to me and I feel refreshed and satisfied;

    To end up with clear mind after playing for a good hour or 45 minutes…!

    After which I end up focusing better on things that need my actual attention;

    Well, Friday is upon us and I wish all of you to take it slow, maybe you postponed the parties and plans to the weekend and this counts as the last working day of the week, so work hard today and party tomorrow…!

    I hope you have someone dear to you or a loved one with whom you can spend time with this year;

    Maybe go out for a treat or surprise each other with some gifts,

    Because at the end of the day,

    It’s only you and them who will stay;

    The rest will go back to their own safe space and forget all about you until they see you once again at work or passing by on the street somewhere…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Taking over 2026 with consistency

    Taking over 2026 with consistency

    What are your biggest challenges?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A new year is upon us, an I wish all of you readers a very happy new year 🥳

    With a new year comes a new goal to align ourselves to a dream that all of us have in our minds,

    It could be to live a fit and healthy life, adopt a good habit even kick a bad one out of your life;

    The slate is blank for all of us…

    And how we tread forward determines our commitment to our goals that we plan to complete by the end of this year…

    Coming back to the prompt;

    The biggest challenge for me or any writer is being consistent with everything that we do,

    And that too differently each day by bringing a version of ourselves out to this world to witness;

    Well all of us know that we have to be consistent, but each day is not a productive one, some days you just struggle to get out of your bed, some days you are up at 4 or 5 working hard without letting anyone know…!

    And that’s how the life of a content creator is;

    Each day is spent creating or finding new views on life or a vision to view it differently than the rest of us;

    That’s what makes us different from others that exist on this planet…!

    With that being said;

    Treat yourself today, it’s a new year, buy that dress you like or a device;

    Or

    Start to save for something that you plan to buy this year from today;

    That’s how we will make it in this year 2026;

    With sole dedication and stubbornness to achieve what we dream…!

    A very happy new year 🥳

    Cheers 🥂

  • A clean slate remembering nothing…!

    A clean slate remembering nothing…!

    What makes you feel nostalgic?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Today is the New Year’s Eve the final day of the year 2025;

    I wish to bring to you love from my side if you’re reading this and you’ve been with me for long enough…!

    The things and plans only aim on going upwards from here and better in ways that I can’t describe to you yet…!

    There has been problems with schedules and managing time from this already busy 24 hours within this day; but I do plan to continue this because this makes me happy and keeps me connected to myself by letting me know who I am and why I do what I do…!

    Coming back to the prompt…!

    The word nostalgia means to me about the time that you lived in the past that had pleasure and also a mix of sadness because that is long gone which won’t come back again ever…!

    Tbh the world has forced itself so much upon this mind that I barely even remember my childhood;

    This might be sad to hear but yes this is how it is, I only know flashbacks of my childhood and even those memories are fleeting away from me;

    When I’m within those whom I call my own and they remember their childhood an the moments we spent in school together I try to make believe from their conversations;

    It doesn’t necessarily break my heart but it shatters something that I cannot remember something that we did together and we can’t relate to it anymore so we just talk about things around us…!

    Long story short^

    The memories that are fleeting away,

    The memories that are fading which I partially remember they make me feel nostalgic,

    I’m not the same person I was back then and each and every day I forget them a little bit more,

    It seems the day isn’t far that I have a clean slate without any memories and that is what truly fears me…!

    Well,

    That’s a topic for another day and another version of me to worry about;

    For all of you I hope you spend New Year’s Eve and the morning of the new year in your loved one’ arms while I pull a shift that I have planned to put my family in a better financial state;

    A promise that gets priority over everything…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A fearless badger and surrounded by Prussian blue and gold…

    A fearless badger and surrounded by Prussian blue and gold…

    If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Here we go again,

    It’s a freaking Monday again and all of the cycle repeats, the hatred that we have we have to channel it and be productive towards life and work to be paid and able to live yet again to see the next day…!

    Going back to the work and being surrounded by some people who chip off your will to live and some who work hard amongst you to make an impact on your life…

    Coming back to the prompt-

    To be honest,

    I’m not that of a sports person while being from a country that dies for cricket and showers the players with their love and money when it comes to betting…!

    I haven’t been interested in anything that connects, of sorts, because I did a lot of it during my school years, and maybe I got over all the obsession back then…?

    Even I don’t have an answer for that..!

    Well if you’re asking for the colour it would be something like Prussian blue with gold stripes or cracks that look like the Japanese pottery that is fixed using gold paste or filling…!

    A mix and match of colors like this…!

    And the mascot would be a badger giving out the idea of independence, massive strength and fearlessness that is associated with it…

    I mean look at this cute badger who doesn’t care ever no matter how big of a predator stands in-front of them…

    These are ideas that I grabbed from thin hair and I don’t know the sports or a place where a thing like this would even work or not,

    But if someone stumbles upon this and uses this one do give credit where it’s due 😂😭

    Well that’s it for the day, and I hope you come in tomorrow for the next days post too…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A perfect space for you

    A perfect space for you

    You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    The weekend is finally upon us today and I hope it’s a good one for you, if you made some plans during the week or some commitment like cleaning your home/ or your room or arranging some meeting with friends which you haven’t been able to for a few weeks now;

    Make sure you have someone to talk to outside of the office or the relationship maybe a friend and spend time with them it could be as simple as grabbing a coffee or even a snack…!

    Coming to the prompt;

    This is too one sided maybe a tad bit too coloured, because it’s seen that the writing and reading needs a perfect space,

    Writing

    It sometimes origins from the deep hell that exists within your heart, sometimes it comes from a traumatic experience or even a life or death situation;

    But its origin can also be traced by looking into the eyes of loved ones or maybe a group of friends hanging out or even getting a coffee 😄 you see the world happening around you and it gives tou certain ideas that are worthy of being written…

    The same can be said about

    Reading;

    You can be travelling in a train/metro and you can have an audiobook in your ears (technically that’s listening/hearing I know),

    But,

    It doesn’t matter where you are,

    I’ve seen people when I went out to hill stations and they were sitting and reading their books and they were enjoying it but not the surroundings they were in,

    Would it be wrong to remind them that they were enjoying the wrong thing…??

    Well I did and they told me that they were happy with why they saw around them but they also had a commitment to themselves(reading a said number of books each year !)

    And we talked a bit and then we were on our way;

    If you still think there’s a specific state or a space to read and write it’s a misconception that you have;

    It can come to you any time of the day or night if you ask me…

    So there’s not a specific place or time that you need to write or read according to me…

    A reminder to take it slow as it’s just morning of the Saturday as I’m writing this;

    The weekend is already upon us and try to include ginger shots in your life, a bitter drink at first but packed with a lot of health benefits, helping you detox and refresh you from the inside…

    Cheers 🥂

  • My ride or die

    My ride or die

    What is your all time favorite automobile?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The Christmas is over and within a few days the new year will be upon us;

    On top of that it’s a Friday and the last working day of the week and I hope you have some days off during the first few days of new year like 31st or 1st of January 2026;

    But that being said; I hope that you get to spend time with family and loved ones more this year while also being able to earn good…!

    Well, coming to the prompt,

    My favourite automobile is my two wheeler,

    A trusted partner of mine whom I spent a whole lot of money replacing its engine once and carburator twice…

    It was a whole lot of expense until I found the best person to treat her and get it serviced alright…

    My plus one who takes me everywhere and in turn I take care of her too;

    My first ride which has been through all of my ups and downs, and also stays with me when I am the happiest…

    My ride or die(well I have found myself in some situations too where it was either me or the person infront of me and I saved their lives instead of mine…)

    But that’s just basic civic sense I wouldn’t willingly hurt two-three people where I could just get scraped and hurt myself a little bit instead…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍
