A perspective and a conversation about cremation ground…!

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Another day spent tiring myself at work after which I went out to deliver some cards and bhaji boxes,

which will end by this evening I think…!

😅🤞

Work was tiring,

but,

A sense of accomplishment is felt by me when I feel tired and return home,

My bed feels very precious and I want that good sleep blesses everyone after a hard day at work…!

I also got a different perspective to view life as one of the person who I delivered the card to and the conditions they were living in broke me down;

but,

I couldn’t get anything on my face,

Maybe I’ll put it out in the form of a story later this evening…!

Coming back to the prompt

A place that I don’t want to visit and reason behind it

There is a truth that all of us know,

but none of us are ready to accept it—

We are born with a promise that we have it written in our fate—

Death,

it’s death I’m talking about;

There is no bigger loss than losing someone,

but,

As soon as someone is born,

they have been promised it,

and no matter how much we try to avoid it,

We are found by its embrace,

Some consider it sweet,

some painful;

But,

for those who are survived by them,

it feels like a vital part of their body is taken away from them…!

And,

A place that I hope no one has to visit is,

A burial ground and/or a cremation ground…!

I know it’s an essential part of life,

death itself is essential in a way,

it teaches you to move ahead no matter how close the person is/was;

But,

the visit to such a place leaves you hanging,

and whenever you travel infront of it,

A mental image takes shape of the person and the act of their pyres burning or their body being lowered down into the ground…!

Something that is necessary for the people who are dependent on it

I.e. it’s their livelihood;

I hope no-one has to visit it ever,

but eventually we have to,

and that leaves us with memories that haunt us forever,

and after some time come to terms with it as it becomes somewhat of a common occurrence…!

Ngl,

I’ve seen a second death in this year,

in our family only;

And,

this heart slips as soon as I get a call at odd hours;

A place where ending is visible,

but numerous questions remain which we are in no position to answer

and

practically don’t have an answer for…!

A place where ground speaks more truth than any person or any entity ever could…!

I hope that every soul that departs this earth finds a better afterlife,

or,

a better life than their last one…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Still writing, In the arms of a loved one while witnessing greatness…!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

After spending the whole 10 hours yesterday shaving myself off to get a job done,

which was simply turning round blanks into required diameters,

But the sheer amount of material I had to hack off mattered,

some were a millimetre over,

some were at least a five or six millimetre over and I made significant dent on the amount by finishing off five sizes and the rest will be picked up yet again on Tuesday…!

About today,

I’ll be getting bhaji boxes delivered and I will give it to the people who live near me and a few of my friends who live near and try to give it to atleast one person who lives far…!

because from tomorrow onwards we will give it to those who aren’t open today…

Other than that,

it’s going to be a long day because we will go shppping too,

A few things that we have to buy for Milni rasam(A programme where the family of the bride and groom meet officially infront of the people and exchange gifts…)

Another jam packed Monday it is,

but only two weeks are left…!

🥲😅

Coming back to the prompt

Where do I see myself in 10 years

This prompt wouldn’t have come at a better time, As we are in this transition phase and my sister is going to be married off;

Giving me a lot of things to look forward to;

And,

At the same time they are telling me to get married too,

because it will be a lot of pressure on Mom

because she will be all alone within a few days as the guests will leave after the marriage;

Something that I’m nodding to right now,

—

I have no clue how any of this will come true…!

But we have hope…!

Pulling myself back to the question—

well I do plan on playing with my niece and/or nephew;

——

I do plan on having a ring on my finger too and the love of my life with me;

Waking up and seeing her face and thinking I wrote about this ten years ago and that day has come true…!(well not 10 years exactly, it can be a few years minus or plus too…)

And I hope,

I really, really hope that my mom is there to bless her grandkids and they get the love of her grandma even if I wasn’t fortunate enough to get it…!

🥹

I know I have chosen a better path for myself and am able to get what I want and the people who are around me are able to live a happy life because of that…!

because all those who are with me now,

I plan to take them up with me;

And all of those who didn’t trust me

or left me just because they thought all of this would go down in vain,

it becomes my purpose to shine infront of them…!

A life where all the levels and graphs,

were picked up and brought up by my sincere efforts and sheer dedication…!

A life made to enjoy by those who are around me

I hope,

I’m still writing prompts and active here daily and every once in a while I come to post something that is appealing…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

A call that changed the course of the night…!

Trigger Warning: This piece contains graphic violence, murder, references to child abuse, and disturbing themes including body disposal and psychological trauma.




It was a lone night,
I was travelling all alone and before I could reach home,
I got a call from my friend…!

It felt like either his life was in danger…
or he had taken someone’s;

G0d knows what it was,
but fear was resonating clearly from his voice—

Ravi—
“I did it bhai…
I found that man and I did what I had to…”

Me—
“What are you talking about Ravi…?”

Ravi—
“The same man…
the one who brutally assaulted and k1lled that little girl from our vicinity—”

I cut him off.

The connection was poor.
I told him to move somewhere open.

But my mind…
it had already started running in all directions.

Ravi—
“I found him…
and as soon as I got a chance,
I pounced on him…
A fight broke out…”

“What happened next… Ravi?”

Ravi—
“I knew he’d overpower me…
so I took out the knife I kept on my waist…
in case I ever needed it…”

My thoughts went to the worst place.

A brief pause…

“I had to, Waakiye…
I had to do it…”

“She called me her brother…
I watched her grow up…
and I—”

He stopped.

I think her face came in front of him.

“Is he alive…?”
I asked.

Ravi—
“He was…
gasping for air…
when I opened his neck…”

“I watched him suffer…
just like she would have…”

Silence.

“Where are you…?” I asked.
“Send me your location.”

“Okay…”

The call ended.

A few seconds later——
I heard a ping on my phone;

Just a few minutes away.

————

I drove there.
And I saw him.

Sitting cross-legged…
right next to the body.

Staring at the blood-soaked sand beneath him.

“Ravi…?”
No response.

“Ravi…!”
Nothing.

“RAVI…!”
On the third call—he moved.

He rushed toward me,
collapsed onto me…
and broke.

Tears;
Shaking hands;
A voice that didn’t belong to the man I knew.

“I just wanted to scare him…
but it…
it became this…”

“I had to k1ll him…”

“He would have escaped…
hurt someone else…”

As I looked into his eyes—
and then at the lifeless one behind him—

Only one thought came to my mind—
I have to save him.

⸻

“Give me the knife.”

⸻

[END PART 1]

A story that expands beyond years and decades of built relationships,

Both legal and illegal ones..!

Part 2 out soon…!

A letter penned to those who are long gone…!

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Yesterday’s prompt ended with a tragic news—

A paternal aunt,

Well the last surviving one,

passed away in her sleep…!

I wasn’t able to go because we are hosting the marriage of my sister this month;

Neither me, my mom nor my sister were able to go;

—

So,

My uncle went with his son,

To Ambala, Haryana;

Where she breathed her last…!

—

All I felt as I went to work were the blues and a sense of loss,

Because I do remember that we were talking about inviting her and her family by going to her residence this weekend…!

—

(Khair…)

Can we say anything in-front of the face of death,

Except—

Accepting the fate and clearing up all the problems and confusions…?

Coming back to the prompt

An already answered prompt…!

😅

No,

I’m not joking…!🙃

Here’s the proof…!

And I believe in not answering the same question in the same way without much considerable changes in the environment or the context of the question

I’ll be sharing what I wrote some time before but made the final edits yesterday…!

Which continued to reflect on death and its sweet nature..!

Kyaa Maut Khoobsurat Nahi…?

Aap ek baar—

Aakhri baar milte ho unko,

Jinka parbhaav thaa aapki zindagi par;

Aur,

Uske baad yaa toh woh shav lakkad’on ke havale hota ha;

Ya woh Kisi casket main,
iss dharti ke naam ho jaata ha;

Ya safed kapde main lapet,
Woh kisi kabar main dafan ho jaata hai;

——

Ek baar,

Bas ek baar mauka hota ha unko dekhne ka,

Unki chavi apne mann main utarne kaa,

Bass,

Bass ek mauka milta ha Unko aakhri baar,

Apni zindagi main—
Apni is choti se chaar dinon ke zindagi main,
Unko dekhne ka;

——
Aur uske baad kyaa…?
——

Kya yaad aata ha kisi paraye ko…?

Kya yaad aata ha kisi gair ko…?

Kya kisi ke khyaal main bhee aata ha unka chehra—

unke Kareebi’on ko chord;

—

Jo aaye unse,

Jinka unke saath roz ka milna,

Jinke saath bitaaye woh khushi ke pal,

Aur woh,
Jinke saath zindagi jeene ka waada kar baithe thay;

—

Unke bhee chet main aaye kabhi kabhaar abh woh chehra,

Dunya toh kabh kaa bhulaa deti hai;

—

Kabhi iss layak ho paaye toh akhbaar main patti lagwane par,

Kisi bande ke chet main aaye toh woh phone kar le,

Warna samay kiske paas itna jo mere saath baithe,
Dukh farol’ay—

Kya aisa hee hona mere saath…?


Kuch pal unn ghar walo kee yaadon main,
Aur phir kabhi kabhaar;

Par khusi iss baat kee,
Kee aaj bhee yaad aate hain,

Nahi nikle poore tareeke se,
Mere mann se—

Kya karu…?
Aaj bhee yaad aate ha,
bohot yaad aate hain,
Jo chale gaye mujhse dur—
—
—

Kya maut khoobsurat nahi…?

Jaane ke kayi saalon baad bhee yaad aate hain,

Woh jinka saaya aaj hamare aas-paas nahi,

Par kahi,
apne aap ko sukoon,
ke,
kisi tareeke se bacha rahe ha humay,

Woh jo gaye hamse dur…!!!

Kya,
Kya maut khoobsurat nahi…?

A treat to all those who went through the trials and tribulations of time and still remember their loved ones…!

Cheers 🥂

From Chawri bazaar to our minds :Aspects that make us unique…

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

—

This day started early as I think I fell asleep at 10 last night…!

I’m writing this at 7:10 in the morning…

I spent entirety of the day outside,

After waking up and making a post yesterday morning bere,

I freshened up and went to my workplace to give a bundle of material to hardening,

And before returning home I made my first trip to buy essentials like ghee and at home I had brunch…!

After that I went out to buy munchies and other kitchen essentials from Dmart near our residence…

On returning home and taking another shower, it was three by now…!

I got ready and went to Chawri bazaar for getting the card made;

We walked to metro and reached Chawri bazaar within 20 minutes…!

The wait on the yellow line was oh so much…!

And after walking another 10 minutes because we got off on the wrong exit we reached this shop that was in such a secluded spot I thought we were going to get lost there…!

A street leading to another smaller one and another one leading to another…!

—

After giving them the format that we wanted,

We waited and waited..!

After getting no answer because the person who had to type wasn’t free;

We decided that we will send them the pdf on our own and decided to return back home…!

On our way back we decided to stop for pista badam milk which is famous in old Delhi;

The name of the shop is

Sudarshan Refreshment Centre…

They also sell Kachori

The small compartment that has kachori above and sabzi in the box below…!

And on returning from the shop,

I stopped by the Shri Gujrat Namkeen Bhadaar…!

And bought some kaju both with pepper and plain salted…!

Along with some thepla and fafda

The fafda in question 😂

Side view of the shop…!

Before coming back home,

We decided to buy some burgers for people back home from jumbo king burgers at Rajiv chowk…!

And after waiting for it to get ready and sipping on our sprite;

My sister and I talked about things like her suits and dresses,

And on taking the burgers,

We walked to the blue lines that led to our station and we got on the metro…!

We decided to check out a Salon to get a basic idea of the rates of bridal makeup and they gave us a slip of 20k for bridal and additional 3k for each person that wanted to get their’s done…!

—

And we came out of the salon with a laughter on our face thinking it would be in the range of 10 maybe 15k range..!

—

So we will look for some more…!

What a day it was…!!!!

Coming back to the prompt…!

Aspects that make us unique…

If I’m asked this question,

I’d answer this by saying that,

the thought process

and

the behaviour

That guides us to arrive at a conclusion works to make us unique…!

If you have a corrupted thought process,

Everything goes down from that place,

Because it forces you to pick negative and bad thoughts more and after a point of time you feel forced to act upon them…!

—

And when that happens the behaviour reflects what goes on in the mind,

To all of the world…!

On the contrary,

If you have a better managed thought process,

A balance of both leaning towards good side more;

—

It reflects in the behavior and the people outside can see it too…!

My answer would be a correct mindset with a positive thinking process,

Along with that a behavior that reflects the same…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Early morning Railway station visit and getting better at pattern recognition…!

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

This day was stated early as I had to drop a family member who was with us for the past few weeks,

So we travelled to New Delhi railway station early in the morning as she had to leave for Panjab;

In the morning train called Shan-e-Panjab…

A speedy click that led to this perspective like I’m running away…

Me on my way back after getting them seated, up the escalators….

You’d be happy to know how much they have improved on their services;

But,

The crowd is still the same,

No matter what happens, you cannot take the human nature out of us humans can you…?

After getting her seated,

I came back home and after sitting down for a while I came on my terrace,

And the same routine follows—-

Coming back to the prompt…

Secret ability I wish I had…

If I were given a chance to be blessed with an ability,

“I’d love to get a better grasp at reading behaviours and patterns that all of us humans (intentionally or unintentionally) make…”

I know it’s a bit of a reach for a person like me to achieve that;

But,

Keeping on trying and exploring means that I will achieve it someday…!

It will help me both in write ups, my regular life and business life too;

Because I’d get better at making a client comfortable and better form myself to come to the unified terms which benefit both of us…!

In my personal life,

I’d get a chance to get to know what they really want before they come to any conclusions,

But that doesn’t mean I’d jump the gun as soon as I find an answer;

I’d let them come to a conclusion naturally,

And,

Never cut them off or the conversation abruptly making them think I know what they were talking about or what they wanted…!

If I was ever imparted with this ability, I would get to know more about humans as being and human nature which comes to us from us being ourselves…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Time, Temptations, and the Roads We Choose…

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,

My loved ones…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Two phases in my life that were hard to let go…

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…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Doing away with dual meaning and walking away from people…!

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…!)

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

A busy day and an advice to my younger self…!

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Hey…!

I hope all of you are doing well…!

I’m making this prompt at 8:32 at night,

A nice change of pace this is…!

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(🙏🏻)

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
