  • The wishes that no one wishes

    You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    The genie and his blessings are onto us today, and let’s get the best of our abilities and think of something that helps us in the best way possible without harming the world(not necessarily causing harm but also helping it in the process…)

    The first wish would be something that hurts my deepest core; developing a machine or a process that brings up survival of newborns, I know this might not seem like much a big deal to all of you but there are a lot of things that go wrong when a child is born (the mind forgets to breathe, a lot more things go wrong and may a times the children are born with diseases that hinder their lives ahead if they successfully survive…

    (In short having a system or a process that helps bringing up infant survival the first 48-72 hours)

    The second wish that I have within this mind is that no one goes to bed hungry ever;

    The world is tricky in itself and the survival of an adult seems tricky, often in that many people who are not able to earn their keep they often go to sleep hungry including the children which in itself is such a bad thing that the parents are not able to afford for their kids much less themselves…

    (In short no one goes to bed hungry anymore including the adults and kids too)

    The third wish is something that I feel really selfish about asking;

    The final wish is to have a vibrant life, a life that is well lived and the people around us are caring and helping in ways that makes their and our lives better, by helping those in need and bringing up those who are not fortunate enough…

    In a hope that when it’s their time to depart and go to the spiritual being that they bow down to, they are able to tell them that they lived a fulfilling life and without any guilt, asking more for the people they are survived by and wishing that the absence of their presence hurts them less…

    (In short each person lives a life that is well lived according to them)

    With that being said the three wishes are up and it’s my time to take my leave from you and I will be here yet again tomorrow…

    Cheers 🥂

  • What Improves with Age? Discovering Taste, Wisdom, and Confidence

    What Improves with Age? Discovering Taste, Wisdom, and Confidence

    Daily writing prompt
    What do you think gets better with age?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    There are a few things that get better with age,
    that I can think of,
    at this very instant…

    Taste…

    Your preferences become more filtered,
    instead of the crude and in their raw versions they were before;

    You acquire taste in various fields like,
    Music, fashion, food and art,
    and these choices become yours,
    because they are acquired through trial and err,
    and they now show a great part of you…

    Wisdom and a vision for perspectives…

    As you grow and work,
    you gain skill,
    an insight into seeing the bigger picture,
    even the missing one which you have to create to achieve that level,
    But,
    that does mean giving up on things that are unimportant at that time,
    which can cause you to feel left alone or isolated,
    because things like these aren’t visible in the early years of life,
    and if it were,
    you’d most probably spending much time alone contemplating them,
    by planning ahead from an early age…

    Controlled grip on emotion…

    As you age and get reality checks,
    setbacks that make you realize your position,
    In life and in society,
    capping your goals and framing your life within a few things that were within your reach,
    you start to understand and have your views on things,
    and when you come to know the actual reality of those around you,
    the different way they are bound to you,
    some just like you…

    then you gain control over your emotions and built a stamina for it,
    which makes it harder for you to take an unnecessary fall,
    which can be made on early deductions…

    Foods and beverages…

    There are certain things,
    certain foods and drinks that become your acquired taste,
    like fine wine and pairing it with specific cheeses;

    Taste of truffles is one of them,
    it feels weird at first and after consuming it often,
    it becomes a taste that suits your palate…

    Just like wine,
    the taste of good whiskey is acquired through many trials and errors,
    you try expensive whiskey and drink it using some ice and little water,
    and it doesn’t hit you back like the cheap ones usually do,
    their buzz is consistent and not something that becomes a high or low within a matter of few minutes,
    But,
    that doesn’t mean it’s good for you;

    Anything and everything in moderation is better…

    Awareness of self and boost in confidence…

    With age,
    one becomes adamant on their rules and regulations that work for them,
    all of the outside judgment is ignored,
    and one becomes more comfortable in their own skin;

    Which in turn builds confidence,
    by not having a constant pressure of surroundings,
    and growing at a pace that seems comfortable for self,
    which sparks this feeling that’s-

    “MORE ABOUT KNOWING LESS ABOUT PROVING”

    with that being said,
    these are the things that I think,
    get better with age,
    What about you,
    do mention them in the comments below…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • From Scrolling to Creating: My Social Media Shift

    How do you use social media?

    Hey

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The use of social media has changed significantly for me in the past couple of years.
    From the outside perspective,
    it would look like a drastic change.

    Earlier I used to spend a lot of time on social media.
    I was just scrolling away from one app to another.
    but,
    these days it’s the polar opposite…

    Any spare time I have is spent jotting down ideas.
    I feel these ideas will hit the right bone,
    or they will help develop my consciousness.
    This will give me a better insight into someone’s life…

    Initially,
    I used it just to chat my time away.
    But
    this social media has helped me meet beautiful souls who aren’t just expressive.
    They are also much better writers than I am.
    Because of social media,
    we managed to connect with each other.

    I would be here writing, editing, and making images just for my social media handles.
    Also, I would also be working on my blog.
    It was like shooting arrows in the dark…

    I still haven’t got used to the type of change it has brought.
    I have had to undergo many changes to become a better version of myself.
    All for the best,
    isn’t it …?

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    What we see here is an effort to grow from a point where even the mere thought of existence is a threat,
    but here we still are,
    still trying to make the best out of the situation that this life throws us in,
    and just like this bud growing from a crack in the wall,
    this seed has had a life too,
    and,
    I wish to hear his side of the story too…

  • Chaos to Clarity: My Writing Journey and Productivity

    Daily writing prompt
    When do you feel most productive?
    View all responses

    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    The prompt of this day,
    forced me to think the duality of the life I am living…

    One where I manage and run a business,
    another one where I do all of this writing,
    it has been a chaotic mix of feeling thing and tirelessly working my b|_|tt off..

    All of us know that living two lives within these 24 hours isn’t possible but we all have to manage right…?

    The most productive I am during work is the afternoon hours,
    i.e. 12 pm to 3 pm,
    but,
    it’s the exact opposite for this writing between 12 am to 3 am;(IST)

    Waking up early to set things in order,
    and then working on them including this blog,
    and Instagram post before I have to leave for work,
    the fine line between night and day blemishes,
    and for weeks it feels like I haven’t taken a day off,
    but,
    the show must go on…

    So,
    I think you get a gist of the type of broken schedule I live on,
    necessarily the dependent on caffeine is hard and takes a toll on this mind and body too…

    But,
    both parts of my life requires different strengths,
    different capabilities,
    very drastic shifts in focus,
    and,
    with that I need to have a very cool, calm and a composed mind…

    But,
    from the chaos that I’m in,
    generates a world so vivid and well versed,
    that it feels almost surreal..

    And,
    this is the type of blessing I seeked all along,
    to live a vivid, beautiful life with,
    hard work too so i can get a good nights sleep…

    Cheers 🥂

    That’s how I am staring at nothingness some of these days…

  • How Emojis Reflect Our Emotions and Memories

    What are your favorite emojis?

    Hey,
    I hope all of you are doing well!!!

    I guess you’re reading this on a Sunday afternoon or morning (or even late Saturday night,
    to those who just came home after enjoying the weekend…!

    This came to me as such a curveball because i don’t use much of any emojis,
    because these words portray the message that i have in my mind in a crystal clear way;

    On looking at my phone’s emoji section i see some that I have used in the past and I shall give you a roundabout


    😂
    With the absolute saddest resting b face i send this one,
    when something is really hilarious,
    and i feel like i have to show laughter…

    ☕
    The only thing that i live by these days,
    a good cup of coffee/tea that wakes me up and give me a will to live,
    a new one every morning…

    🤍
    Do you ever feel like this,
    what do you think this means to you..?
    To me it feels like the white heart is a meaning of peace and doesn’t carry the same meaning as the red one that gives off any unwanted ideas,
    it signifies absence of disruption,
    and focuses on the essence of self…
    i.e.
    understanding the need to reach stability, before disrupting someone’s…

    😇
    the ever grateful one,
    who feels blessed even in all of the stresses that he endures,
    just because he trusts that his efforts shall be paid off…

    🎗️
    The yellow reminder ribbon
    This one will go with me forever and,


    ITS A REQUEST KEEP THIS ONE TO YOURSELF TOO…
    the significance of yellow reminder ribbon goes beyond life itself,
    it helps you to remember your goals, ideas;
    the thoughts that keep you alive,
    what makes you,
    you;

    Your real version…

    Cheers 🥂

    The image that i took with the timestamp on that too..
    Do you ever think how something like a photo can help you relive a memory?
    Also according to me, black and white helps in giving the image a life that is only understood either if you were at the place where the photo was taken or;
    it helps us to have our mind fill in the dark and light shades with the colors that we see fit…?
    isn’t it???
