  • 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 🥂

  • Making decisions before we turned adults..!

    Making decisions before we turned adults..!

    What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?

    16/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    It wasn’t something like I turned 18 and realised I was an adult,

    But it was way before that—


    It was when I chose not to opt for a foreign trip which my school sponsored to go to America;

    Because I knew my family couldn’t afford it…!

    I knew I had to make a decision even before I presented this trip that my school was making to a foreign nation…!


    I had to stop myself from perusing a girl that I deeply loved,

    Even though I had a massive crush on her and I would have tried to give her the best life I could—

    I already knew things wouldn’t turn out the way it did because I know how they are right now,

    I had to make a choice even before I had the opportunity to choose someone for myself…!


    My parents told me that they wouldn’t be able to fund my dreams and aspiration after I passed my school and an exams which gave me a seat into my dream college;

    I knew I had to make do with what was possible within my budget,

    Before I was pushed into this field which I hated at first,

    But later built attachment to…!


    Each and every time I had to make sacrifices, even before the news reached the ears of my guardian and most of the time I blamed my fate and my life for being born here…!


    To be honest most of these happened before I turned 18,

    Most of my adult life I was prepared for things to go south all the time and preventive measures were just a few thoughts away…!


    It wasn’t a good life,

    Well it isn’t a good life even now—

    But,

    You can never ever be too prepared…!

    Can you…?


    Sometimes we had to make decisions even before we turned adults,

    But that is a conversation we aren’t ready for…!

    Are we…?


    Not forgetting the song of the day…!

    Shikri to my rescue

    These ears have never rejected any artist that brings peace and straight away the message that the artist wanted to portray…!

    Shikriwal

    An already established name from Garhwa, Jharkhand,

    He brings to us flows and an entirely different way to communicate the idea that exists in his mind…!

    And I’d recommend you to check him out just this once and he’d for sure be on your mind…!

    And he’s famous for his Ajay devgn’s look with the specs(which turned into this meme…)

    This one…! 😂😂

    Cheers 🥂

    Happy Sunday to all of you…!

  • Famous restaurants in Delhi…!

    Famous restaurants in Delhi…!

    Which is the best restaurant in your city?

    15/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Happy independence day to those who are celebrating…!

    Maybe you are planning to host a get-together, or you will be joining someone who invited you…!

    Or maybe you are going outside with your family to eat and this prompt couldn’t come at the right time…!

    Even if you would like to stay at home and order in that would be perfect because of delivery services like zomato/swiggy…!

    Or,

    Maybe you’re like me munching on some matar or some matthi straight out of the box like some caveman…!

    I guess this box will end by the evening and I’ll need to buy some more for later…!

    And I don’t take any questions about the box because it was thoroughly cleaned before I put matar in those…!

    Why do we call it matar you ask,

    Because it’s in the shape of a matar or a pea pod 🫛, well without the peas of course…!


    Also,

    Can you call it a day off when you don’t wake up early and everyone who is at home wants you to work early on in the morning…?

    I was woken up by the maid cleaning our house and mom having a loud conversation about her life, her daughter and how her son is going out of her hand…!

    And to someone who just woke up, it felt like they were having a full blown fight and I ran into my living room,

    And guess what,

    They were having a normal conversation and I tried to go back to sleep,

    Emphasis on the tried to…!


    So guess what,

    I had to help my sister put up curtains and our ladder broke and after fixing it my sister decided to make breakfast..!

    And after considering a while and deciding on poha which I love,

    She decided to make vermicelli…!

    😅🥲🥲


    So I guess we will be having vermicelli after all…!


    Back to the best restaurant in my city…!

    Well none of these are in order and they will give you want you want and how you want it to feel…!

    First would be Pukhtaän

    If tou know what I’m talking about you already are familiar with the flavor of the Padma shri awardee chef Imtiaz Qureshi’s son Ashfaque Qureshi…!

    I was able to enjoy once in Rajouri Garden and taking home delivery more than four times in Karol Bagh(which was recently closed down due to them not being able to secure enough well paying crowd here…!)

    Everything slaps here,

    Even its black dal or red meat…!

    You are paying good amount for the food and your expectations will be exceeded for sure…!


    Second would be New Tera hotel

    Situated right next to where the pukhtaän was in Karol Bagh,

    You will be greeted by a handsome Sardarji with a warm welcome and a big smile where you can either place your order or dine in at any given time of the day…!

    I’d recommend the paneer bhurji and their double fry dal along with parantha or naan I’d recommend to try to garlic one…!

    A pure veg restaurant which uses ghee for cooking all of the dishes,

    They can swap out garlic too but you’ll have to confirm that yourself…!


    Third would be Panjabi Angeethi

    A place that I get delivered my food from every now and then,

    Even if it’s only for you or a party that you’re hosting, they have awesome deals like paneer, daal, chaap, pulao,rolls etc…!

    You can have food and never get tired of it…!


    Last would be Prem Dhaba…!

    From veggie options to all non veg options you can have food at their venue, infront of the restaurant in your car or get it delivered…!

    I have been having their food ever since I was a kid and you cannot match that they serve because it’s mixed with nostalgia for me…!


    You can check them all out one visit at a time, if you plan to visit Delhi or Karol Bagh any time in the near future…!


    Let’s not forget the song of the day

    Die young

    Don’t we wish to rush and earn big money and die fast…?

    Well,

    Not if you want to leave a legacy and live a long life and set an example that the people around you can look upto…!

    The obsession that some of us have with gangsta rap is something we cannot explain to others, while we drive to our desk job or office…!

    Gagg-E and Deep Dhaliwal…!

    Happy Independence Day to those who are celebrating…!

  • किसकी गलती…?

    किसकी गलती…?

    उस भूखे बच्चे को तड़पते देख,
    एक सवाल आया मेरे मन में——

    “क्या उस रब्ब ने चाहा होगा उसका ये हाल…?”

    क्या गलती थी उसकी,
    भूक से लड़ जो रहा था आज वोह,
    अपनी माँ को पुकार कर,
    रो जो रहा था उसकी तालाश में;

    उस रब्ब ने चाहा होगा कि एक अच्छी ज़िंदगी मिले,
    पर,
    देखने पर लगता है की,
    कोई गलती की होगी कोई उसने;

    गौर करने पर लगा,
    होगा वह महज़ २-३ साल का;

    अगर उस बच्चे ने नहीं की थी कोई गलती,
    एक ऐसी उमर में जिसमे उसने अपनी सुद-भुद भी ना संभाली हो,
    तो गलती किसकी…?

    उस रब्ब की जिसने उसे भेजा इस धरती पर,
    या,
    माँ-बाप का दोष जो लाए उसको इस दुनिया में और ना कर पाये उसकी देखभाल;

    जानता होता अगर रब्ब-
    “के मैं भेज रहा हूँ अपने इस अंश को ऐसे लोगों के पास जो देखरेख ना कर पायेंगे,
    और कुछ सालों बाद भूक से तड़प-तड़प कर,
    अक्सर मौत को गले लगा कर,
    मेरे पास वापस आ जाती है ये नन्ही जानें;

    तो गलती किसकी,
    उस रब्ब की,
    जिसकी पूजा हम बेतहाशा करते है,
    माँगते है उससे अपना भला-

    वोह जानते हुए भी,
    भेज देता है इन बच्चों को बली चड़ने,
    इस इंसान के जूनी में;

    या,

    गलती उन माँ-बाप की,
    जो लाए वोह जान को इस डूबती दुनिया में,
    कुछ पल,
    उन चंद पलों के लिए जिसमे वह देखरेख ना कर पाये उस जान की,
    और गया बैठे वह खिलखिलाती हसी को,
    जो आई थी उनके नसीब में——

    चाहा तो ना होगा हाल उसका किसी ने भी,
    पर ये भूक,
    और ये पैसे पर चलने वाली दुनिया,
    ठोकर मार कर आगे निकल जाती है,
    हर उस इंसान को,
    जो उसके हिसाब से नहीं कमाता;

    गलती हम सभ की,
    और हम में से किसी के भी नहीं;

    अगर औलाद पाल नहीं सकते तो सोचना चाहिए था,
    उसको इस दुनिया में लाने से पहले,
    और अगर आ ही गई है,
    तो अपने आप को बदल लेना चाहिए;

    पर आसान थोड़ी होता है अपने आप को बदलना,
    एक झटके से,
    किसी का आपके ज़िन्दगी में आने से;

    खैर——

    बदलना या बदल पाना अपने आप को,
    वह बातें दूर की;

    ना चाहा मैंने उस बच्चे का ये हाल,
    ना ही उस रब्ब ने,
    ना ही उसके माँ-बाप ने;

    बस,
    यू ही,
    रह जाते है कई,
    जो नज़रों मैं होकर भी नज़र नहीं आते;

    इतने में,
    मैं वह चीखे सुनता हुआ अपने राह पर वापस चल दिया;

    लव Waakiye 🤍

    Whose fault was it…?

    Seeing that hungry child suffer,
    a question arose in my mind,

    “Did God ever intend for his life to be like this?”

    What was his fault?

    There he was, fighting hunger,
    calling out for his mother,
    crying as he searched for her;

    Perhaps God wished for him to have a good life,
    and yet, looking at his condition,
    I found myself wondering how he had ended up here;

    Then it struck me——
    he could not have been more than two or three years old.

    If a child so young has done nothing wrong,
    at an age when he cannot even care for himself,
    then how does he find himself in such circumstances?

    I wondered about many things;

    About the world he was born into.
    About the people responsible for him.
    About the systems around him.
    And about the role fate, chance, or God may play in lives such as his.

    No one would likely wish such a life upon a child.

    Not God.
    Not his parents.
    Not the strangers who pass him by.

    Yet hunger exists.

    And in a world that often measures worth through money and survival,
    many people are left struggling through circumstances they never chose.

    Some would say the responsibility lies with parents.
    Others would point to society.
    Others still would question God.

    I do not know the answer.

    I only know that suffering like this does not appear from a single cause,
    and rarely belongs to a single person.

    Perhaps there are choices that could have been made differently.
    Perhaps there are circumstances beyond anyone’s control.

    Either way, the child continues to suffer.

    And that was the thought that stayed with me.

    Many people remain unseen,
    even while standing right before our eyes.

    And as I continued on my way,
    the sound of those cries stayed with me.

  • Finding your soulmate; A quest

    Finding your soulmate; A quest

    Do you believe in soulmates? Why or why not?

    05/06/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s a good day today as I woke up around 7 in the morning and the weather was nice,
    the morning walk gave me a boost and pulled me out of this rut by giving me many ideas which I penned down in my notes app,
    on which I will be working on this week and next one too…!


    As I’m driving to my physio session running a bit late,
    as my brother took my bike to buy some essentials;


    I’ve arrived here and my session is on;



    Coming back to the prompt

    My belief in soulmates

    I have been working on myself steadily and trying to find peace with myself rather than finding it out in someone outside;

    But,
    That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in the concept of soul mates;
    or,
    bonds that were made some where in heaven and sent on earth to find themselves;

    Transversing through this world,
    to find each other,
    Someday,
    one day…!

    And when they do,
    it feels like they were meant to be with each other and a thought looms around their minds,
    why weren’t they able to find each other sooner…!


    It’s somewhat of a mystery itself that there is someone who is made for you and they are looking for you the way you are looking for them;

    But,
    in all of that time being there are numerous flings and people who you meet and click,
    but the things subside after a while which makes you feel like a lost cause;


    while you were thinking they were someone who were made for you…!


    Even this concept is foreign to me and feels like there is no one made for me at times,
    but,
    like a normal person there is a tad bit hope,

    There is a little hope in my mind that there is someone who is made for me too…!


    Until then,
    there will be a lot of things that I have to do,
    a lot more which I have to achieve,
    to be worthy of a soulmate that I deserve…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • From a reader’s perspective to a writer’s…!

    From a reader’s perspective to a writer’s…!

    What’s the first book you ever finished and still remember to this day?

    Hey..

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I thought it would be a slow Sunday,
    Thinking I’d go to sleep around 10 at night,
    but,
    I had to take my dog on walk,
    and that 10 minute walk turned into an hour long chat with a friend and before I could look at the time it was already 11:20 at night…!

    So,
    I rushed home and cleaned my bed and fell asleep as I was tired,
    waking up at 7 in the morning with a knee pain that surged as I went out on my morning walk…!

    And after having muesli with milk for breakfast,
    I took my multivitamins and it’s about time to go take a bath and then leave home for work…!

    I got an idea of a story and I think I’ll be making part 1 of it this evening;

    it’s about a guy who meets a girl under circumstances that aren’t ordinary and it makes her conscious about how she dressed as she was in a hurry and it began to rain,
    but,
    he knows that she might feel that way so he avoids her at first but things happen and they meet once again under different circumstances and they talk their heart out as strangers who won’t meet ever again…!


    Coming back to the prompt

    First book I read…!

    The first book I ever read was complete works of Khalil Gibran..!

    The first book which I bought after I read a few lines from the prophet which was handed over to me by my cousin sister as she was being married and her entire collection ended up with me which still to this day stays with me…!


    I often found many answers that i had in life in this book and his was one of the first things i read which gave me perspective and opened my horizon;


    Everything that I am today,
    this thinking, even existing and the way I experience things it’s because of how I perceive this world which was in a way shaped by who I became after I read this collection…!


    People around me told me that this was too much for me and what does reading gives me to them my answer was the same that it was back then;

    It teaches me the way to live me life better by perceiving how the world revolves around me and how I can understand another person better by putting myself in their shoes…!


    They were unknown to that fact back then and they are still unknown to it now…!


    Khair..!

    you cannot make someone understand something that their mind tells them is a waste of time…!


    until then…!

    keep you head high and try to incorporate atleast a few books in your life each year…!

  • Segregation amongst ourselves…!

    Segregation amongst ourselves…!

    A woman beaten just because she was taking water out of a handpump;

    A person of lower class made to drink his own urine as a form of torture;

    A person not allowed to take water from the tank that was set up by higher class;

    A person,
    just like you and I,
    denied medical treatment just because of their class;

    The same not allowed to travel in an ambulance in emergency,
    or even when taking the lifeless body…!

    The above are just the surface level things,
    and,
    you won’t believe my words if I were to dwell deeper,
    and talk about the injustices amongst women and girl child…

    The type of atrocities they face in backward areas of our own Country——
    India 🇮🇳!

    We talk about being equal,
    Talk about abolishing the rights granted to them by the government,
    But,
    We can’t seem to consider them equal to us,
    and,
    until we can’t——

    We cannot abolish the rights and reservations granted to them by court of law…!

    I know that it starts from us,
    from each one of us,
    to treat them with respect that each and every person deserve;

    No matter their social class,
    no matter where they stand,
    no matter if they come from money or not,
    They are humans and deserve a life just like us…!

    And,
    until we can’t see them as fellow beings,
    just like you and I;

    We must live in a world with reservations,
    Until segregations exist within our minds…!

    न्याय ?

    आए दिन खबर आए,
    आस में हम सभ की न्याय…!
    
    किसी दिन,
    एक छोटी लड़की—
    २.५ साल की;
    
    एक बुजुर्ग औरत किसी दिन,
    ८० साल की थी जो;
    
    
    और हमारे मुंह से निकले,

    ——
    
    किसी अनजान के मुंह से वह निकले हैरानी में,
    
    मगर—
    पीड़ित जो,
    उसकी माँ-बाप के मुंह से निकले वोह,
    आह में,
    अनंत दुख में;
    
    ——
    
    बस एक ही गुहार जो आज इकट्ठा हुए—
    इकट्ठा हुए हम सभ,

    एक बार फिर किसी दूसरी रैली पर,
    एक और जान को गवा देने के बाद;
    
    हम सभ भूल जाएँगे,
    एक बार फिर से भूल जाएँगे;
    
    क्या होता है वोह शब्द,

    Justice….?

    Every other day we hear the news,
    All of us seek justice—

    Someday,
    It’s a little girl
    2 and a half year old;

    Someday it’s an old woman,
    80 year old she was;


    And from our mouths you hear,
    That same word;

    ——

    From an unknown person’s mouth its spoken in a tone that’s surprising,

    But,
    From the victim’s—
    Their Mother’s and father’s mouth its heard
    In pain,
    In eternal sorrow;

    ——

    On that same painful note-
    We all have gathered here today,

    Someday we’ll be able to find her,
    and to her family,
    Justice…!

    Or,

    In a few days these animals will roam freely,
    And again,
    when this act is repeated with someone,
    And her existence is removed from
    the face of the earth;


    The same faces will meet again,
    Meet again on someone else’s rally,
    After losing yet another soul;

    We all will forget,
    In this deranged forgetfulness we will seek justice once again;

    Seeking that word or its meaning;


    To find it we have gathered here today,
    From the government,
    From these policemen;

    Can we ever find it,
    Or,
    Help their parents find…

    Justice…?

  • Pseudo—camping and joining back work….!

    Have you ever been camping?

    1/05/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It was a slow day at work yesterday and I had to join back someday and I told myself why not today…!

    So I went back to work and started where I left off and began working on the blanks that I prepared before I took the days off for my sister’s wedding…!

    I was able to hunk off quite a bit of material and I think I will be done with what was left around 1 in the afternoon—

    And I will begin on the second lot today itself and prepare some material for stock as we were running out of it before I went on my leave…!


    A packed day it is and it will be a long one too,

    but,

    I need to draw a line somewhere,

    I need to fulfill the promises I made to myself and set boundaries at work like working for a finite amount of time and we have started to reject emergency orders which bring us under a lot of pressure and even after the order is complete we are given the same amount that we were supposed to get if we were doing it on a normal time like a span of a day or two…!

    It’s a lot of work that we are turning down but that comes after being forced to work like literal machines and not being paid adequately for it…!


    And once that happens we can charge extra for the emergency work that requires same day action on something…!

    It’s not something I see purely from a business pov but;

    I see it from a view that it gives us a sense of accomplishment and we are adequately paid for it too because we are making time from our packed routine to accommodate your emergency…!


    Something that is hard to see if you’re not looking at it from an industrial pov where things go wrong and require maintenance at every single step…!


    Coming back to the prompt

    Camping and my views on it

    Let me be honest;

    I’ve never been on a camping trip per se—

    like,

    We didn’t plan in advance and bought gear and prepared ourselves and took training for setting up tent and any other thing…!

    But—

    I’ve been to enough hill stations and have enjoyed the pseudo-camps that they have set up there…!


    I remember a trip to a place called narkanda which is 60 something kilometres upwards of Shimla and where we booked our homestay…!

    And at that place they were setting up these tents next to the bonfire that they had made out of old metal drums and they were putting in wood that they brought from a shed that was attached to the property…!


    and after paying extra we got in those tents and took the feeling of what it feels like camping…!

    Well,

    pseudo—camping to be honest

    because all of the stuff was provided to us like food in plates and timber was added to the fire by the homestay staff;

    and all we did was sit put in that rent and even blankets were provided to us in that tent and we slept like logs…!


    Let me bring your attention to

    Pseudo—camping

    because that is what we did,

    we didn’t hunt(pretty sure that isn’t allowed here in India)

    we didn’t cut down trees to keep the fire running,

    and we didn’t set up tent as it was already there;

    But,

    we did feel like we did camping…!

    (or maybe in an essence…)


    To camping—

    A pseudo one if you may;

    Cheers 🥂

    An Indian kid’s favourite festival and the aftermath of a wedding programme…!

    What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

    30/04/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I’m back here after a gap of a few days and successfully completing my sisters wedding programme…

    A few things still remain incomplete and a few payments still remain pending which will be completed in the coming week…!

    We have that sort of liberty with businesses we made purchase from because we buy stuff from them on the regular and we started our conversation with this fact that we are from the bride’s side and we will have expenses…!

    And,

    only after they agreed we picked up stuff from them;


    The time forward will be of a lot of hardwork and we will have to pinch ourselves and save each and every penny(well in our case rupee)

    Because in the coming days ahead there will be people who will be visiting us both from ours and grooms side and we will have to prepare ourselves accordingly;


    And,

    I’m happy for the fact that we were able to manage it on our own,

    well we took help of my cousins and a brother who is not blood related but took the place of someone who’s more than that and arranged it all for us…!


    Other than that,

    all of us will be operating in recovery mode because we moved so much here and there each day;

    All of my joints are making a clicking noise when I move and I can’t seem to do away with the back pain that has been surging from the day before the programme started;

    Maybe because I had to sleep on a foam mattress that we took from a business on rent…!

    All of this will generally fade away on its own,

    but,

    I’ll find a doctor or a physiotherapist if the pain persists longer than a few more days…!


    Coming back to the prompt

    My favourite holiday and why I like it…

    Being an Indian and Panjabi Brahmin on top of that;

    We don’t celebrate Easter or Christmas but we do get involved with the people following Christianity in their celebrations…!

    For me it would be

    Diwali 🪔

    A festival that all of the nation celebrates at the same time and welcomes goddess Lakshmi asking her for prosperity in our home;

    Also lighting diyas 🪔 in our homes;

    Just like the people did in Ayodhya when lord Rama won the war with Lord Ravana…!


    We,

    Well most Indian children like it because we are with our family, eat sweets and we are handed over money in the form of gifts and we can use it however we want when we are adults;

    But,

    when we were kids all of it was taken away from us by our parents…!

    something that still stays with us even after so many years…!


    We are together and we pray to the almighty to bless us and the people around us with life and prosperity and we also ask for forgiveness for our mistakes and shortcomings that we have and also ask for the power to get over them in the coming year…!

    We also ask the almighty—

    For a better life to those who have left for the holy abode and maybe reincarnation into another life…!


    A festival that reminds us of the people who we were with last year and their presence is missed if they aren’t with us anymore…!


    Cheers 🥂
