  • What happens when your own desires try to eat you alive?

    You’re sitting there,
    In the comfort of your own room,
    And,
    You find your desires,
    Pushing you…!

    Pushing you in a direction that is opposite of what you wanted to be,
    Telling you to send another message to the person who isn’t good for you,
    Telling you to spend another hour scrolling short videos on the platform that you like,
    Telling you to go on that x rated site and watch more videos just for pleasure,
    Telling you to go out to the club and have a drink with people who are complete strangers and maybe get lucky if things go well;

    That voice warns you not to indulge in such activities and compels you to quit it and pushes you in a right direction;

    But,
    Your overstimulated mind,
    Registers that voice as a noise,
    And cancels it out and pushes you in a direction that is destructive,
    And makes you lose a small piece of yourself every moment you catch yourself after indulging and promise yourself that you won’t,
    And the next morning you break this so called promise you made to yourself;

    Until you find yourself in a pit—
    After breaking countless promises to self,
    You try and look for a way out,
    A source of light,
    But,
    There’s none to be found;

    When you’re surrounded by the choices that made you who you are,
    You look at the way you lived your life,
    Which makes you feel shame,
    sadness and anger at yourself….

    It makes you think how you had the power to change things,
    But,
    You didn’t,
    You just went with the flow and did what people around you did;

    And,
    When you look at them,
    You feel like they aren’t affected by this;

    This rise of consciousness from within,
    And it makes you question,
    Are they conscious or still lying to themselves…?

    A dim voice answers from within,

    Those people are running a facade that isn’t visible to the naked eye,
    But,
    They are dying ever so little,
    Their indulgence is killing them ever so slightly,
    Their dependence on this world and its pleasures with their constant interaction with the factors that shape their life,
    Makes them lose their sense each time they choose something that isn’t right,
    Or,
    When the realisation hits;


    The voice that is just and wants you to be normal dimming with each act that is against your moral will,
    Until it fades away,
    Leaving you alone,

    All alone…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • 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;

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

    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 🥂

  • Things people with p•rn addiction don’t talk about…!

    Things people with p•rn addiction don’t talk about…!

    They don’t talk about the addiction—
    how it kills them,
    their will to live too…!

    They don’t talk about waking up at 3 in the morning,
    when everyone around them is asleep,
    —-

    They wake up contemplating in their mind the niche they plan on exploring,
    searching links that they saved,
    maybe a suggestive reel online,
    or somewhat of a revealing one that’s pushes them over the edge…!

    ——

    They find themselves submitting to theses urges and complying each time to whatever the mind wants them to do,
    Not thinking it will be the one who will be the one spilling all the hate later…!

    ——

    They find themselves on their beds,
    or on the can,
    or in the shower,
    trying not to think about committing the act,
    but they often loose the battle;

    And when that happens,
    it brings them immense shame,
    Which comes bundled with hatred,
    a lack of empathy for self
    And a loss of respect for not being able to even think in a positive sense,
    much less sparking a change…!

    ——

    Before committing the act,
    it’s like they are neutral in a sense,
    Until they feel the urge to do the deed,
    it’s due to one of these readily available media that comes at their disposal,
    maybe Instagram reels or TikToks that are suggestive,
    and those clips make them think about the person behind their screen in a certain way,
    which is far from normal…!

    The corrupted thought to violate them and those ideas are sent to them on a platter by their mind…!

    Later,
    They feel a certain way about them,
    bundled with disgust,
    and hatred towards the person who they saw on the screen or imagined in their mind…

    Blocking them,
    or telling the ai,
    not to recommend them,
    and,
    If one of them slips though the cracks,
    the same cycle repeats itself…!

    ———

    Sometimes,
    they wake up at three,
    contemplating a thought——

    Knowing they will have guests over later,
    and won’t get any time free from
    them;

    So,
    their mind improvises on its own,
    it tells them to get up——

    Get up at an odd hour,
    and look at them without letting anyone know about it,
    And after being in a confined place like-
    their room,
    Their brain tells them to get off because it will be impossible later…!

    And that’s how they spend their early morning,
    finding the right clip,
    and,
    imagining themselves in the place of the person in the clip and make their mind feel the same,
    and once the act is over,
    they cry,
    cry at their sad miserable selves,
    knowing they are neck deep into this problem that shaves at their consciousness…!

    They try to talk to their G0d,
    asking for help as to get away with this way of thinking,

    asking for forgiveness as soon as they are done watching it,

    asking for a blessing that might come and save them from this problem that takes their will to survive away;

    But,
    nothing of sorts happens;
    and,
    The utter amount of shame kills them.
    And,
    when they try to open up to the people they trust——
    They are made fun of,
    and,
    they never speak about it ever again…!

    Well,
    they’re made fun of about it because that sort of things breeds within that group,
    maybe all of them are going through it,
    maybe,
    all of them are in the same boat fighting the same reality

    and for them,
    joking about it,
    or making fun of someone who is in the same boat is the way to get out of the problem…!

    A problem,
    That breeds like an infestation,
    overtakes their complete will,
    and leaves them hanging like a dead man…!

    A fight,
    they keep on losing and re-fighting,
    until—
    they erode the version they were and this person who is no longer a real one in their own vision,
    Who tries to slither and make their way,
    often failing more,
    and fighting even more,
    each day…!

    Two encounters that brought my hopes up…!

    Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

    18/04/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It was a tough day at work yesterday,

    As I had to stand on my feet all day and compete a job that required my regular interference as we are running against time here…!

    it will be another couple of days like this and I’ll have to spend them on my feet, which will for sure hurt a bit this evening…!


    Other than that,

    All of the preparations are done just the essentials that are to be bought next week are left…!

    Some of which can be bought on spot and I’ll confirm the rest this evening to a mithai shop in Pahar Ganj soon..!

    only thing that will be left is paying the rest and picking up the boxes on the day of the function..!

    (This is somewhere we see money is everything, you pay an advance and they will happily make anything/everything you want…!)


    Coming back to the prompt

    A random encounter that stuck positively…!

    It was a cold winter’s night as I was returning to home from work…!

    I had to take a detour and drive through todapur/inderpuri area,

    The road that follows Pusa(IARI Indian agricultural research institute)

    Also called dev Prakash Shashtri marg…!

    I was travelling there on my scooty and it’s drive belt snapped in half mid drive;

    Coincidentally no one was home and I was all alone,

    as I pushed it for a good 10 minutes and looked for a mechanic but u couldn’t find anyone…!

    So a Stranger,

    A person sent from almighty came and asked me about what happened…!

    On telling him about the belt,

    he agreed to push me to the nearest mechanic;

    which was a good four, maybe five kilometres away…!

    So he put his feet on my scooter’s silencer and pushed me to the nearest mechanic,

    before I could get off near the mechanic and thank him,

    he drove off and raised his hand not above his soulder level and his palm facing inwards and he drove off away from me…!

    it was one of those instances where I wanted to thank, but I couldn’t but I really did from my heart and wished his well being…!


    Another one would be a complete stranger,

    Asking me about my well being,

    while I was sitting waiting for the last train back from Shaheed Sthal station after securing some payment from a client and maybe it was showing on my face but as soon as I opened my camera app it looked like I was on the verge of dying…!

    So he asked about me,

    Where was I from and such things,

    and if I was well…!


    On giving limited answers and not revealing much about myself,

    he sat next to me and I opened up to him,

    it was a few months after a death happened in our family and that old person told me the genetic answers,

    It’s the truth,

    and we have to accept it,

    and many other things…!

    One of the last things he told me was that the person who I liked/loved who’s no more; They won’t be happy if i kept myself in this condition any longer…!

    Those words hit hard and even if they’re no more,

    and I was living without a purpose;

    I found these strangers words like a ointment to my wounds…

    And he too walked away climbing the stairs and by that time my train came too and I boarded it and reached home…!


    Sometimes a stranger’s words do more better than anyone who is near and dear to us…!

    G0d save all those who get out of the way to check up on the people who feel like they’re carrying dread in their eyes…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • A perspective and a conversation about cremation ground…!

    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 🥂

    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…!

  • A call that changed the course of the night…!

    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.”

    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…

    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 🥂
