  • Swift action against the perpetrators and the disrupted water flow…!

    Swift action against the perpetrators and the disrupted water flow…!

    If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A good morning from me to all of you…!

    As I got something I wanted from a long time, a seiko watch that was delivered to me yesterday evening…!

    I know it’s an older version but I wanted to own one which had a white dial and now my collection has one more watch…!

    It might not feel like much to anyone looking from outside but a seiko watch like this was something that I wanted…!

    Maybe I’ll do a post about all of the watches I own someday…!

    (It goes into the idea basket of mine…)

    It was a bit problematic morning as we had a water shortage, the tanks that we keep on the terrace were already half empty because of the use and without having anything to check or any update from the Delhi Jal board(Djb) [The governing water body of the city];

    They have been disrupting the flow of water more and more as time goes on..!

    Under the context of cleaning the water plants and sometimes the excess amounts of pollutants in the water…!

    I know they are doing their job and providing us with clean water but this was never the case earlier and even if something like this were to happen we were made aware a few days in advance…!

    ( उन अच्छे दिनों के उम्मीद…)

    (Still waiting for those good days we were promised)

    Coming back to the prompt

    Change one law and the reasons behind it…!

    Have you ever thought that a person who takes the life and dignity of someone without even a single ounce of fear and a sense of humanity in them…!

    It is something that has been so much prevalent in these days that the news has become a common thing and we scan past them like it’s a common occurring…!

    Same can be said about the human lives that are lost due to poor or improper constructions that happen due to cost cutting and when heavy infrastructure come down crashing and takes the lives of several people within a span of few seconds;

    There should be some action taken against such people and it should happen before the pyres of the of the now deceased person are put to flames…!

    In the first case, the person who was the perpetrator/s should be charged to death, because taking a life should have the same impact on yours even if it was done under the influence;

    An accident or a mishap should be viewed from that view too, the company that picked the tender should be held responsible and accountable for the accident that happened if the fault was found in the quality of the material or if the quantity of the safety measures were skipped…!

    Not a single life lost should go in vain, because this life is precious and losing it has a ripple effect on those around them…!

    In crux

    A swift and effective approach is needed to bring justice to the victims and bringing the perpetrators in the vision of the law system to punish them accordingly…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • The polluted fresh air and a feasible dream home…!

    The polluted fresh air and a feasible dream home…!

    Write about your dream home.

    Hey

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A not so cold morning it is and after cleaning my cabinet and properly putting in my clothes that were sitting on my bed go god knows how long, I will be making a pit stop to drop all of the blankets and other things at the dry cleaners and pick up the remaining stock with them and bring them home before going to work…!

    After all of the mess(clothes) that I properly set now I need to deep clean my bed and room,

    Maybe use a wet rag to remove all of the layer of dust that has accumulated,

    Even though an air purifier runs in the evening and the morning, the so called fresh air that comes in the morning is a must and all the windows and doors should be open…!

    Even if the AQI outside reaches 400, we must open the windows and let the so called fresh(polluted air) in and clean that air all day long…!

    Dilemma 🫩

    Coming back to the prompt

    My dream home

    I know a lot of you would want a cozy home surrounded by a garden and plants that bear beautiful flowers and fruit and vegetables,

    All of the necessities that you need are available nearby, but people don’t understand that all of this dream require constant upkeep; that is something which isn’t clear to many people…!

    The upkeep like maintaining plants, keeping and collecting firewood, getting all of the essentials, this is a huge challenge that isn’t thought by many;

    On the contrary

    A dream home for me would be my old home with all of the necessary services already available, provided that we pay for them each month after their use;

    It would be my dream home because a joint family would exist and all those who are no more with us would exist with us too—

    I know a lot of dynamics are in play in a joint family and someone always gets the short end of the stick, and I’d like to do away with that…!

    A dream home of mine would be a dream home for all those who live within it too—

    It wouldn’t be called a dream home if someone were living their life serving others after killing their dreams would it…!?

    A thought…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A visit to old Delhi and maintaining a constant state of neutrality…!

    A visit to old Delhi and maintaining a constant state of neutrality…!

    You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A Tuesday morning it is and it is warmer than usual because I was feeling sweaty in the blanket and I removed it somewhere along the night, as I woke up it was on the other side of the bed away from me at 7:10 am as I snoozed my first alarm…

    Yesterday was a good one, there are many a things that I planned to accomplish like buying a ring for myself, few essential oils and diffusers from our home and in a single sweep I bought some jalebi(a type of funnel cake that is dipped in sugar syrup and served hot…)

    I bought it from the shop that is very famous in old Delhi,

    By the name of “Old famous jalebi wala…”

    This is the shop

    And if any one of us gets a chance to go to old Delhi we do buy like half a kilo maybe 750 grams, in three maybe four separate packets because the people around us love it and they request me that whenever I get a chance, I get some from them too, which I always do…!

    (They were 700 Rs per kilo when I bought them last evening(09/02/2026)[DD/MM/YYYY], they also have samosa (fried savoury pastry) which are available in potato 🥔 and another one is pea 🫛 filled)

    And the evening was perfect as we spent it coming to conclusions about life and plans ahead as we have to get the dates for my sister’s wedding too…!

    Which means that I will be under a lot of pressure in the coming days but, it will be easy once the basic things are finalised and then we will be at some ease…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    First thing I do on receiving fantastic news

    Anything I talk about ahead does not mean I’m a negative person, but—

    Have you ever heard the paradox of happiness…?

    It means when you place a huge chunk of importance on being constantly happy and when those expectations aren’t met; you feel extremely disappointed ultimately which leads to less happiness in your life;

    That becomes the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve…

    So,

    As a person who has some happiness in their life, any amazing news no matter how big it is, it’s taken as something that is at a normal level…!

    This isn’t out of spite but this mindset is born out of necessity and survival of myself as a human being because constantly shooting for happiness leads to falling more, so maintaining a net state of neutrality becomes the norm…!

    When you stand at the neutral line, it feels easy to come back up once the life hits you with something bad likewise when things are going good it becomes easy to fall back down to the neutral line…

    In a crux,

    Having a constant neutral state is better than being either happy or sad all the time as either one of them has their own problems associated with each states…!

    But let’s not forget that you seem antisocial when you constantly run on this state of neutrality, because it becomes a norm for you but not for others as your smile comes to halt mid talking or your sadness disappears when you come to term with it…!

    Making you look like a psychopath…! 😂

    Telling you this from the personal experience…!

    🥲😅

    Either way, this state works for me and I hope it was an interesting read…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Favourite candies and coming to terms with life…!

    Favourite candies and coming to terms with life…!

    What’s your favorite candy?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s a Sunday and I hope you wake up well rested today and this prompt finds you in the best of your health…!

    There is a lot that went on my mind yesterday and no matter how hard I tried I wasn’t able to put my 100% focus at work, all I could was remember Milky(May his soul rest in peace) and because of that I woke up and had another dream today which I wrote in my notes app…!

    Maybe some of the dreams come to me when I am under different types of stresses and I’m incapable to process them but, I did talk to myself about that and know that the circle of life works this way only,


    Maybe we work through our lives everyday to prepare ourselves for the new life that exists after this one ceases…!?


    Maybe all of this is a test and prepares us and makes us strong enough to look at death in the face and embrace it like it’s someone/something that we knew all along…!

    (Khair…)

    Too much talks about the cease of existence makes me sound a bit too optimistic about it, because some think of life as a trap and the release from it to be the true reality…!

    Imagine returning to a place where you stay with all the souls on a standby and your place stays empty for a while; (A while being 70-80 years for some…)

    And when you return to your original home you are content and happy to be with those who have stayed with you for an eternity…!


    Returning to the prompt

    What’s your favourite candy…?

    This couldn’t have come at a right time because a lot of the things are going on in these days the first week of February leading to the Valentine’s Day..!

    Well there is a vast difference between sugar candy and chocolate confectionery and let me draw this line that we are strictly talking about candy(sugar candy) only…!

    Because all of us remember eating eclairs and melody all through our childhood and that is something that I love too…!

    Melody that we all love and still can’t answer the question (Melody inti chocolaty kyon hai…?)
    I hope all of you remember eating this as you got it as a gift from birthday boy or girl during your schooling years…!

    Yes,

    These two would take the spot for me as one of the most favourite candies that I love…!

    And a lot of memories are attached to these two too…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • An ideal day and some exciting news…!

    An ideal day and some exciting news…!

    Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Another cool morning its said to be 10 degree Celsius; waking up at 7:14 with an alarm that I set for 7 AM made me realise I felt colder than it should…!

    As I went to use the bathroom and brush my teeth after putting my phones on charging;

    I thought about today’s prompt, what it would be and how would I write all about it…!

    And on seeing this prompt at 7:33 it felt like it’s been ages since I’ve lived one of the ideal days…!

    (Khair)

    There’s something I want to share with you, my sister’s friend bought a new car and she came to our home last night to show us the car and we were overjoyed when we saw her car and I quickly ordered a few chocolates as a gift from blink-it it was a Ferrero Rocher and a Cadbury one; I ordered a air freshner for her car too but that guy couldn’t reach me because his two wheeler’s engine seized like 10 minutes away from me so he made me cancel the order…!

    It is a Kia Sonet and it’s white in color…!

    We are more happy for her because she grew up infront of us and now she’s become a person who practices law under a senior lawyer and works hard to make everyone around her happy…!

    A noble soul she is…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    An ideal day for me

    It would be to wake up well rested at 7 am…!

    And after waking up it would be great to get a nice walk or a workout in that lasts maybe forty five minutes to an hour that keeps me energetic throughout the day…!

    Then it would be writing one of these prompts which takes around an hour and a half at max and then it would be great to go to work and everything happens according to a predicted schedule and all the outcomes that were thought were reached and the work day ended at 5 maybe 5:30 or last 6 in the evening nothing more than that…!

    After reaching home some plans were already made and I reached there on time and me and my friends hung out, got some snacks and then reached home safely…!

    At home I had my mom and my sister waiting for me and I had a good dinner with them, maybe outside maybe at home and then we took a walk outside and then hit the bed…!

    A day well spent it would’ve been to acknowledge all those who made me who I am today and their constant unwavering support which pushed me into the direction which i love today…!

    An ideal day it would be…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Three major life events and a morning walk partner…!

    Three major life events and a morning walk partner…!

    How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A cool Wednesday morning it is and I woke up by the air purifier hitting my face with cold air that it blew at my face, the time was 7:56 as that’s the time I saw on my phone and watching the 71% battery on it made me breathe a sigh of relief…!

    And I went for a morning walk with my dog and it was amazing;

    There are so many things that we see, giving us perspective on life too, as we see people from walks of life, making it an interesting thing to observe too…!

    And, now I have to clean my room as I’ve returned home at 8:58 hours…!

    But,

    The morning walks makes it better as a fresh perspective is taken in the morning and it helps me think about things in a different way than what I usually am sitting within these four walls…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Life events and its influence on our lives

    This topic came on the right time,

    As many things are happening around me as life unfolds infront of me…

    A marriage

    It usually looks like two people getting together just to live together and have a kid in the near future but that’s the perspective from the outside;

    But, when looked at from the vision of the couple- the man, the woman or whoever is your significant other is—

    It gives you a whole different perspective as they aren’t just tying knots, they are marrying each other and it involves understanding the nature and the quirks that your partner has and adapting to things they don’t like and providing them with love and care that they need…!

    Well this isn’t understood by someone who isn’t married or doesn’t plan to get married anytime soon and it’s their choice…!

    You get to understand a person in real time and unfurl them in a way that gives you understanding who they are and why is it the way they are…!

    People just call it marriage and that’s what their mind lacks to think and believe…!

    Childbirth

    One of the most crucial thing- that welcomes parenthood and shapes you in a way when the peaceful nights turn sleepless as the newly born child needs attention and your support…

    It’s very tricky in the first place as not all of the conceptions end up in having a child and there are many helpless parents that are working hard to have a child of their own; and when things don’t work out adoption becomes an option…!

    And this continuous tries to have one of your own pulls the love out of intimacy..!

    Yes you might not have heard that but tracking your ovulation days and being ready on a specific day/(s) kills the spontaneity and turns it stressful and a task that requires accomplishment instead of being fun and full of joy…!

    (If you know this I’m sorry for you and I hope you have a child of your own someday…!)

    And viewing this from the outside it feels like something you can’t care about,

    But when you are in the shoes of such a person you come to know the real meaning of having a child and when you’re blessed with one, it feels like the almighty rewarded you with something of a miracle themselves..!

    Death

    Yes, one of the things that makes us who we are and prepare us for the world beyond this one, the sweet embrace of death,

    Something that all of us have in common that we have to taste it once and we will never know when it will be our turn, but the fact that this is the common thing that all of us share and have kept on sharing and will do until our end…!

    It breaks a person if it’s close to you, your S/o, your father ,mother, brother or sister…!

    It hurts to a such a degree that sometimes the pain and suffering becomes unbearable and the person takes their own life as it becomes unbearable to live a life without them…!

    I’ve seen people do that and leave behind kids that were underage, some were working;

    It wasn’t something of a Sui(ide but the loss becomes unimaginable and the person gives up on living their lives and then something happens; their car swerved out of control, they fell and the blood loss was too much—

    “They cherished each other so much that they couldn’t live without each other” that’s what they say after it happens;

    But, the love that they had for each other couldn’t be shaken or taken apart…!

    (Khair)

    The life and its perspectives haunt us and make us think about who we are and what we live for;

    It might feel like it was a long read but it was necessary and worthy of each word as anytime any one of the above happens it becomes a life altering experience and changes us and our core…!

    Cheers 🥂(to a long read and a new perspective)

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • A deep question and sincere apologies to our pets…

    A deep question and sincere apologies to our pets…

    If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    A not so cold Thursday morning it is, honest to G0d I slept in shorts and a single T and even then I was feeling hot in the blanket so you know what I did; I put one of my legs outside and the rest of my body was in the blanket…

    Haha 🤣

    The morning walk was brisk and good and I met the street dogs as usual and I will remember to carry some dog biscuits for them tomorrow morning…!

    Also;

    I wrote a question on my WhatsApp status and got good answers too,

    It was

    What counts as a fulfilling marriage to you…?

    And I got soo many responses;

    it was crazy to jus keep up with them…

    It would be great if I could get some answers so I can come up with a post late tonight about this topic as I’m working on it right now…!

    A fulfilling marriage indeed, is it supposed to be fulfilling according to you…?

    Coming back to the prompt

    Making your pet understand one thing…!

    It’s such a beautiful prompt that all of the pet owners have something that they want to let their pets(well in some cases their children) known…!

    They want to make them understand that they are loved,

    And basic things like you shouldn’t poop in the house like the couch or the carpet, outside would be good …!

    We go to work to earn money for treats and the shoes that we own aren’t toys because they cost an arm and a leg maybe the whole left side(considering the amount of shoes my dogs have chewed till this date…)

    For me,

    The most important thing would be a dual question…!

    The first would be,

    What was the dream in which you started to shake which happens once every blue moon…?

    I’d like to decipher and protect them and let the entire world know how can we help them and prevent it…!

    It was a dream and dreams are not real is what I’d like to make them understand, and they are safe within this warm house and in our embrace…!

    Another one would be something that is selfish on all our part(Most of our part…)

    We(each of us pet owners) would like to apologise to them, for pulling them away from their mothers…!

    This is a guilt that we all carry in our subconscious, I know;

    Well one of my dogs is a rescue because their mom passed to the world beyond this one and she left her child infront of our door and in the morning, and we found her breathing her last breath infront of us because she was poisoned by someone…!

    Cruel world…!

    So we took her in and embraced her as a part of our family, and she lives happily with us…!

    These two questions(one question and another statement) are something that I’d definitely ask/tell them…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Cold winter mornings and some words from my heart…

    Cold winter mornings and some words from my heart…

    Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A cold Saturday morning that started at 7:34 AM for me, I found myself surrounded by my electronics A tablet, my phones and cables;

    I don’t remember when and how I fell asleep last night without putting my devices on charging and I am waking up with 12% on this device and 15% on the other one…!

    Let’s leave it at that…!(Wait no let me put them at charge first…)

    A Saturday it is and I hope you are in your beds have a quilt over you that is providing much needed warmth in this cold harsh winter morning…!

    There are a few people in my group that become addicted to Old Monk as soon as winter starts to hit them, some just bring one or two bottles of Morpheus(enough to last the whole winter) and take a sip of it in hot water as soon as they start to feel under the weather (Dawa Daaru…) 🥴

    And then there are people like me who just sit in their beds and fall asleep just like that and run on sheer dedication without the support of any external forces to guide them, and when we get sick(Rarely) it usually means running to doctors and pharmacies to get our medicine…!

    This in no way advocates that drinking is good for your health; there are things that won’t ever be good for your health—

    drinking and smoking being a few of them…!

    Coming back to the prompt…!

    A positive example of when I’ve felt loved…!

    How can I say this, but I’ve always been on the short end of the stick; I’ve seen people feel emotional and talk their heart out to me;

    Trust me with their secrets, found acceptance and answers that they weren’t ready for yet…!

    I’ve been the support system for many;

    Some of who are still in contact with me, some who aren’t they too have turned out to be vibrant people; living their life to the fullest and I’m really happy for them…!

    I’ve helped people come out of their slumps, talked them into giving another chance at love and found their partner;

    But;

    Never I’ve been on the long end of the stick,

    I’ve always been the one who lends an ear, hears their heart out, their secrets that will stay with me until the end of me;

    And that doesn’t mean that I haven’t had my share of love;

    I’ve had support of my best friends, my cousins and a loved one who I parted ways years ago; due to reasons….;

    Let’s not go there, it’s supposed to be a happy scenario that we have to paint here…!

    I’ve truly felt loved by someone who stays within this heart even though the distance between us has become too far now;

    Their embrace, their way of talking, the whole person they were they were loved;

    And when that person went from my life it was a wound that never filled…

    (Khair…)

    The loved ones can even be your family who look after you,

    A brother who works hard to make everything happen in the background,

    A mother who prepares meals for you, checks up on your well being when she sees you down,

    A sister who always awaits you, waiting to talk to you, is ready for your defense and even fights those who bring dirt to your name,

    A father who loves you but can’t express it…!

    Maybe you’re surrounded by love,

    but,

    you only want it if it’s coming from a single person,

    And that person isn’t that interested in you…?

    A dangerous situation to be in it would be…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Different perspectives and goals that affect us…!

    Different perspectives and goals that affect us…!

    What could you do differently?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    First thing it’s scary that it’s only Wednesday today when this could have already been a Thursday for me,

    And we are already first week into the new year as we speak…!

    Another lie that I cannot seem to believe at all…!

    Well I’ve felt that time flies past quickly these days; but I’ve never ever felt such haste…

    Coming to the prompt because thinking that makes me go crazy…!

    What could I do differently…?

    Another one of those broad questions of you ask me,

    I mean what i could to differently in life, at work, at relationships or what; the horizon is so broad…!

    Well for beginning,

    I want to be up early and stay awake for the some time and complete work that I’ve taken upon myself (writing short stories and some skits…)

    Second would be to have enough energy left to join a gym after work because that is something I want to involve myself in…

    Third would be to be more active and great at conversation and keeping up either my friendships and relationships that I have with people (both in and outside of work…)

    The last would be to be a better person than who I am right now, because there is suffering that I see around me, but I’m not that loaded that I can help everyone that I see;

    So I just want to be in a better place so that I can help those around me, well if not strangers I’d be happy to help those who are a part of my family by helping them get up on their feet and give them a much needed boost that will pull them out of their slow and stagnant life…(only if they need my help…)

    There are many things that can be done differently, much of it depends on the perspective of self and those who is affected by the change isn’t it…?

    Well to a better future shall we tread…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A billboard promoting mental health…!

    A billboard promoting mental health…!

    If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well …!

    There’s something that I want to try,

    I don’t know what time zone all of you are in but, my last post which I made by sheer accident late at night got many likes and views,

    So I’m trying something that makes absolutely no sense right now, but nothing hurts if it gives the content that I write a boost…!

    Well,

    When it will be uploaded,

    Most of my day would be already over,

    And I’d be home probably trying to have dinner or already in my bed that I cleaned this morning trying to sleep…!

    Coming back to the prompt,

    A freeway billboard(first time I’m hearing this because there are no such things here in India…)

    But I guess it would be either promoting my business or this writing work that I do;

    I know there are many billboards that also play videos;

    Maybe I could make an advert to promote safe driving by making an ad that tells to not drink and drive;

    Or,

    Another one would be to be on a proper sleep before driving because that causes a lot of accidents ;

    It wouldn’t truly be mine without having something in writing that separates my content from others;

    So it would be catchy;

    Like-

    One of my Instagram posts

    Like this one (⬇️)

    And this would be in an auto shuffle if it’s a working billboard or it would be collapsed into a single one when it is needed…!

    I know it wouldn’t be an immediate hit,

    But it would linger enough to make people search it,

    Maybe click on the link and watch the whole post…!

    That’s exactly how I feel…!

    With that being said it would be a great thing to see and look at,

    And I’d click my photo standing under it too,

    And it’s going to make people around me proud too…!

    A whole billboard belonging to me,

    I’d call it a dream come true…!

    Until next time…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍
