I’d like to begin this prompt by telling you all that the habit of me having these vivid dreams come fron my mom;
Because in a span of a few weeks she told me a few dream that she had;
DREAM 1
One was last week in which she was handed a pouch that had gold bars and coins and was told to deliver it to a person with a specific name;
And on finding that person after a lot of turmoil,
That person says to give it to the fishes;
Literal fishes in a pond….
😂
But she instead of giving it,
Keeps the pouch and the valuables within and becomes paranoid until she wakes up…!
Dream2
Today she told me a dream that a person came in between her and my father and caused a divorce on the word of his mouth;
Later it turned out to be he wanted his sister to be married to my now late father;
And how everything unfolds and many characters of our family come in and intervene;
The conclusion is that my father who works in corporate world keeps my mom to work in the office where he stays all day and only returns to home at night,
And he promises to take care of us(both his son and daughter…)…!
A happy yet sad conclusion…!
Coming back to the prompt
Most influential teacher and the reasoning…
There’s a person and an abstract thing that I would give this title to…
The first one would be my English teacher from my high school and specifically who is now a principal of the same school because of her prowess and the control that she has on the language and her ability to filter and find out people who are expert…!
Any love that exists within this mind and heart for the language happens to be just because of her…!
Her classes were something that I miss,
Even after 10 years;
So much interactive and
They were so easy to grab and latch myself onto,
Which deepened my love for the language,
That they stay etched into my very core…!
In an abstract sense;
Failure would be the most influential teacher,
Because it taught me to be consistent with my effort and walk with my head high until I was destined to achieve what I had in my mind…!
There are times when nothing works and I feel like I’m falling back into my old habits;
And when that happens I take some time off,
Grab what my mind wants to do,
Often times its something of a bad post or something that is gruesome that I pen down and put that thing back in my notes app…!
This has happened a few times and I feel a sense of clarity after getting my head clear of all the negative thoughts and feelings…!
And I build myself right back up the next day…!
Like nothing happened…!
At the end,
Failure has taught me and given me power to get up yet again and conquer the next obstacle each day, everyday…!
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
Hey…
—
I hope all of you are doing well…!
—
After waking up at 7:30 and wanting to stay a bit more in my bed made me realise it’s almost 8;
I got up and changed my clothes and went out on my walk after my morning routine..!
—
It’s currently 8:05 in the morning as I’m writing this one…!
—
I’m really thinking what is there to talk about and what happened yesterday…!
In the evening,
I really wanted to have a drink as I stared at those bottles for in my cabinet;
—
Well,
Those glass bottles remind me of happy times that I spent with people around me,
But;
They also make me realise those night I spent drinking all alone,
And drinking until I couldn’t and then going to sleep…!
Both the positives and negatives of drinking(heavy emphasis on the negatives…)
Well you’re socialising,
I know,
But it harms,
Even a drop harms when it comes to your body…!
—
In that case the mind wants more and more each time…!
—
The glass is empty and your friend’s isn’t,
He’ll pour you another one…
A dangerous cycle it becomes…!
(Khair…)
It’s better to quit when you can,
Before all of the bills pile up and you are spending your days in recovery…!
—
Beware it’s a habit that kills, along with smoking and those hard drugs…
Coming back to the prompt
Cross country trip and my mode of transportation…!
Well,
This prompt critically sums up a problem within that isn’t visible on the surface…
It’s your opinion on how do you value time…?
When travelling by air,
You reduce time spent travelling to mere hours or maximum of 20 hours from wherever you stand…!
—
And when you look at it,
You get the shortest path from one point to other…
But by traveling by air,
You cannot get to know people that you would otherwise on any other mode of transportation..!
—
And even if you consider the person sitting on your left , right or both if you’re sitting in the middle…!
If you’re travelling by train,
You’ll find people from all walks of life,
From bottom to upper class a mix that you won’t find anywhere…!
—
They travel with the same purpose of reaching from point A to point B,
And you can pay more to reach there faster,
But that is at no comparison with travelling by air as it takes significant more hours and days at a time to reach if you want to even travel within the national borders…!
Travelling by bus is a worth if you travel a lot though the night;
Because you can sit in a bus in the evening around 6 and by 6 in the morning you can travel well across national borders,
You can go one/two states over…!
—
Accounting in it maybe an hour or two of stopping for passengers and their wellness…!
Well at last comes travelling by car/bike
Something that I live and have immense love for…!
—
You can travel at your pace,
Absorbing everything that comes with it…
By meeting new people and comeing across avenues of life that weren’t possible travelling any other way…
—
Because if you see a picturesque scene,
You can just stop,
Jump out of your car or off your bike absorbing everything that exists and maybe take a few pictures as a keepsake…!
—
Also you meet people who are either going or coming back from the place that you want to go…
—
You can travel at your pace and return as you wish,
A drawback that it’s the slowest form of travel and takes more than hours and days, weeks if you plan on travelling cross borders(plural borders…!)
How to save travel time is essentially the question here…!
And how you value your time differs from person to person..!
—
If you want to travel fast and reach quicker travelling by air is you go to,
All other options are considerably less when compared to airway but with their own pros and cons…!
If I had a chance I would travel cross borders on my car,
If I can get my hands on such free and open time in my tightly packed schedule;
Along with the money to afford visas and regular maintenance of the ride and those who are tagging along with me,
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It feels after a long time a prompt has come that I haven’t answered, and I’m all in for making this one a good read also to explore an avenue in my life that I suppressed…!
A view into my life first, I’ve been looking for banquets each day after work and I’ve decided on two who are near the gurudwara which makes the travel easier and other programmes seamlessly connect with each other…!
Well both of them are far from our home because we don’t have a banquet near our home…!
So a lot of time has went into considering a good place and getting more out of our money…!
Other than that,
Work is going well,
Because we are working each day and exploring new avenues and way to achieve the goals that we desire…!
Coming back to the prompt
A phase which was difficult to say goodbye to
It isn’t easier to let go of things that made an impact in our lives isn’t it…?
But,
There are certain things that make them all worth your while and leave an everlasting impression on you…!
Well losing someone who’s close to our hearts would be the first one…!
A female dog birthed two kids and passed away right infront of our house;
We took in her kids and within a span of few weeks both of them passed away as they were very little and weren’t able to get their mothers feed which was very important for their growth and their first few weeks here on earth…!
We tried to get another female dog that also birthed a litter of puppies a few kilometres away but she rejected them and tried to bite them when we let them within her litter…
On the offset that she might run away from her kids we brought them to our home and tried our best to save them—
But fate had something else planned…!
(Khair…)
Another one would be parting away from someone who we thought were the love of our life…!
Imagine you building your life around someone and they give up on you because their family planned something else or they found a more viable partner…?
Something that breaks you from the very core and a mere sense of trust that you had breaks and shatters, making you lose yourself…!
Well I hope it doesn’t happen with anyone else ever again…!
I think,
The things that happen around us shape us in a way that we were meant to have a grab of—
I don’t mean passing away of a loved one is something that is good or builds character;
But,
It gives you a chance to see into the life by letting you see who is a real one and who was in just to leech off of you…!
Who stands with you when time isn’t working with you…!
And who all move away from you or face away when you get the short end of the stick…!
Let’s not forget that all of us have to taste the sweet embrace of death once in our life and we won’t be here to witness what it feels like…!
Keep those who are near to you near and tell them you love them…!
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Another already answered prompt forcing me to cut short my answer and get into one of my saved posts or getting into my notes app to find something worthy of your time…!
Well an answer for the prompt would be something like this…!
I wouldn’t necessarily ban a word because I’m not in a position to do that,
But,
what I’d like to happen is to do away with the dual meaning of words that happen after another generation picks it up…!
For example the word
Cooked,
Meant that the “food was ready” but these days it means something else entirely…!
These days in slang it means “to be in big trouble or exhausted”
This duality has ruined a lot of words like
Slay
Glaze
Bet
Tea
The list goes on and on…!
I would do away with this duality because it’s hard for me to search for the meaning behind the slangs all the time…!
One of my posts underneath ⏬
You only see what you want!
Don’t you…?
No…
Sometimes,
They only show what they want to be seen as, and they’re so good at it, you come to know this later…!
They aren’t even a speck of what they act, like their behaviour and their actions can be the polar opposite of what they are with someone else…
Glad I came and distanced myself, or rather, I’m glad things came up and brought distance between us…
Now that I sit back and see, I cannot agree more with those pointing fingers at you because of who you are, rather, what sort of a person you are…
I’m glad and breathe in peace, That, There won’t be any fingers pointed at me, for the fact that I am still in contact with you…!
(P.s. I might have been in contact with you once, but, all of our connections are long gone,
And I have not a single speck of regret for that…!)
What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
Hey…!
I hope all of you are doing well…!
The last nights prompt took away a lot of things that I wanted to say today…!
🙈
But, after a long time a prompt has come in that I haven’t answered and this has given me some ideas…!
And a break from me posting my unusual stuff that I write…!
Coming back to the prompt
Biggest challenge that I will face in the next six months
It’s a bit crazy how the world moves, because up until beginning of the year 2026;
I didn’t have any concrete plans, they were still to lay low, work hard in the shadows and come back out with more power in a year or two…!
Making this year of struggles and winning some personal battles with myself and things that hold me back…!
Until, the marriage of my sister was decided in the month of April…!
For which everything has sprung into action and there are things happening that are done by me and taken into account to guide anyone who comes to me in the near future for help on how to manage or do a programme like this one…!
There will be many things that will happen and they will change my viewpoint on now to view people, their behavior and also how those who will sit in our blind spots and fill the ears of our relatives and question how we were able to afford these things…!
Everything will happen…!
Including us missing the presence of our father as all of this happens…!🥲
A huge lump that all of us carry within our hearts and can never ever seem to fill…!
Otherwise it’s all good and future will be the witness to all that’s yet to come…!
There are a lot of things that I had to do today, one of them being looking for banquets for my sister’s wedding function…!
And let me tell you this,
The prices are outrageous, even if we have a programme for lunch they are quoting 3.5 to 4 lakhs for a programme that lasts 6 hours—
10:30 am to 4:30 pm…!
I’ve been dead tired spending my evening from these past few weeks searching one or two banquets each day…!
Things that you have to do when you don’t have a father figure in your life…! 🤷
Well it would have been a better support and something of a confidence booster but,
There are something that you have to do on your own and life pushes you to do them too…!
Coming back to the prompt
An advice to my teenage self…!
Spend as much time as you can with your parents and grandparents because they aren’t going to be in your life much longer…!
And no matter how much the difference comes in within your thinking and theirs, you can nod your head and continue to work on things that you like, things that you love…!
Even if this won’t give you money or earning in the short run it will help you get experience and a way to live this life better…!
They won’t be available for all the time so just enjoy their company and the time that you can spend with them…!
Maybe ask them about their childhood;
How were they brought up and what they used to do…!
You’ll for sure hear some tales that you can tell your kids someday and if you’re fortunate enough you can get your kids to hear them from them directly…!
Well not in my case but it can be possible in yours…!
Well don’t forget about telling your younger self about buying bitcoin in bulk and keeping it until 2026…!
Remember the last advice and this is a last moment update(🙏🏻)
I don’t know how to tell you this but being consistent on this app has made me come to terms with the fact that most of the prompts are recycled…!
This prompt was answered by me back in 2025 somewhere in the month of February…!
I really got bored of the thing that I have to recycle,
Well not recycle but sell you the same prompt yet again which I think hurts my creative front because of a promise I made to myself before I began writing…!
So instead of the prompt you get one of my write ups today too,
But it will be disguised in the form of prompt to give all of this a push that it definitely needs…!!!
Eyes of children who never forget…
There linger some feelings, Some emotions unspoken of;
Some words with-held, Not brought to these lips, To keep those dear to us near…
Whom we considered our own, Once pure, Now they won’t stay with us, Those known faces became unknown…
They call our eyes droopy, A face that seems off, Hasn’t witnessed a shread of happiness in years, Dark circles that grow day by day, And the light of the eyes that diminishes as each day pass…!
The eyes, Those eyes never forget…
Unkept hair, A bunch of facial hair that grows haphazardly; Those dead-fish eyes that scare everyone, And staring into them feels like a slipping slope;
Once you fell into them—surrounded by darkness you feel, With no clue what hurt them or continues to, they walk away from you without a care in this world…
A sense of relief is seen in them when they indulge in their vice, A line of pure white, A pill with a happy face, A tab or two, Or a bottle that’s waiting to be emptied;
When the white of the eyes turn red, Bloodshot— Only then, In a sense of euphoria, A sliver of smile comes on the face…
On rare occasions we wish, These vices weren’t the only thing that made us smile, Made us feel— More human,
But;
As the buzz wears off, We are back to our self, Our usual miserable selves…
With those eyes, We stare, With a sense that tries to find a meaning in everything;
A thought comes to our mind, Here we are— “Here we are still alive…”
Another already answered prompt telling me to cherry pick one of my draft posts…!
I’d like to ask this to you,
Do your opinions on things change within a single year or it takes a bigger/smaller span than that…?
Real question of which I’d like a real answer…!
When I look towards the sky…
I’d like to talk to G0d, But the sky’s empty.
I’d tell him how they fear his name during the day, When the sun’s up, Just above their heads, But as soon as it sets, They come out of their veils of fear and shyness..
They skilfully remove their masks, And show their real faces, Those which can’t be faced without covering one’s eyes, Or having to spit something out of your mouth like when you taste something distasteful…
These veils, Cover the horrors they show to their victims, By lacing someone’s drink, Or abduct them up as they’re returning home to their safe haven—
But no, They had some other plans on their minds…
As soon as they are done with the bodies alive or not that they caught, They throw them out, Dispose of them as waste and leave them to rot, Or die as a consequence of their actions…
The very next morning, They pick their masks and wear them;
To cover themselves up in a veil of deceit—
A material that makes them immune to the normal eye, But—
On seeing within, Deep within their cold, soulless eyes, As they sing praises of almighty’s name, Or go to place of worship above and beyond, Only to show their humble nature—
A game of deceit they play with him;
He who knows all about them, And what they do when they think they’re not being watched, But—
As soon as the sun sets, The real version of them pops out…
I’d talk to G0d, And tell him about his creations, But, When I look up, The sky is empty—
The sky is all empty, because we buried his concept and anything that relates to him when we first decided to lift our veils…
Another day of already answered prompts telling me to go into my partially written saved posts…!
For those who don’t believe here’s the proof that I can provide you…!
A screenshot with all the prompts answered…!
If you stay with me, you will be safe…!
These are the exact words that left his mouth when I told him that I didn’t want to go with him…!
Set aback I was, before I could say anything as his words once again filled the room…!
“There are many who are ill mannered who will tease you, belittle you, call you names, maybe touch you inappropriately and what will you do then…?
Who will you call out to…?
Who will you look back to for help…?
Will you cry out for help…?”
Don’t you think it will be a terrifying experience…?
And you won’t be able to move or even make a cry of help when something bad happens…!
You don’t even call it out when you’re surrounded by people you call your own, because you think they’d think of you in the wrong way…!
And you think you can go alone safely there without me…?
His words cut deep,
But they were true, I should have left early and made all of the necessary arrangements before I planned to travel there, even if it were to travel all alone…!
I know this seems weird, A lot of dependence on a person, But what if I told you it was the absolute truth for me…?
Last week another girl just like me was picked up by goons as she was going back home from school and she was assaulted and later left on the side of the road(literally to die);
Until a passer-by recognized her and shouted to attract more people;
The already distressed parents ran as they weren’t able to lodge a FIR,
Denied were their basic rights just because the presiding officer assumed that she must have ran away from home due to some tension or stress from her parents…!
They also brought them shame by telling them to their face and all those around them that,
She must have ran away from them with her boyfriend and they must have planned to marry each other…!
As soon as they reached along with other police officers after an already pre decided sum was received by them in a form of bribe and they were looking to pay a part of it to the family to settle the matter;
They said girl was still alive and confessed the name of the people that were in that car because they belonged to the same town;
And they loaded her up in their police van instead of an ambulance and drove off towards the hospital…!
The parents of the girl stood there and after a while they shook themselves to consciousness and found what had happened…!
They paddled their way to the hospital but their daughter was declared brought dead;
The parents also died as soon as they heard the news…!
As the hospital staff decided to change her to remove all of the blood soaked clothes,
They began the investigation and found conclusive evidence that it was infact a sexual assault and this would;
Should be a criminal activity;
But those so called enforcers of justice came empty handed when she was laden into the police jeep and gave up on the drive towards the hospital,
Or,
She was deliberately killed on the way to not get a witness testimony…!
The words still ringing in my mind,
If you stay with me, you will be safe..!
Would I ever be safe, until this mentality stays that I need someone to feel safe
And when I am alone I will—
I should feel unsafe…
Only when there’s someone around me I’ll feel safe…!
Isn’t this mentality broken enough to push women back into the place they worked so hard to crawl out of…!
Waakiye
