Finding people you can connect to when travelling…!

What’s the best way to meet new people while traveling?
08/10/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It was a good day until I woke up around 4:30 in the morning after something happened to me in my dream…!

Which becomes a post for the night later today…!

Well—

Talking to them would be a start…!

For example,

If you make a pit stop,

Maybe refueling your car/bike if you are travelling in your own vehicle,

And,

You come across some people who are local,

You can hit up a conversation and ask them about the local traditions and some place that they would recommend which you can check out while you’re in the vicinity…!

You can meet someone that you know from your friends or family…!

Imagine you plan on exploring India,

And extended family of yours lives up north—

You can visit them and get to know your roots and talk to them about how your family ended up here…!

Also,

You can talk to them about traditions and what are things that an outsider should be aware of when they explore the town…!

But, don’t be a burden on them by staying with them all day you don’t know how they are doing and you don’t want to barge in on someone’s privacy…!

Now,

Imagine you are using public services like plane,train,bus or any other transport that exists like ferry near water bodies…!

You will have to talk to strangers,

If you plan on hitchhiking like asking strangers to drop you off wherever they are going…!

But,

For that,

You will have to be humble and expect to be rejected until a saviour comes and takes you near to the destiny that you have in your mind…!

You can strike up a conversation with people who are sitting on the berth next to you,

And,

If you find someone who shares the same destination as you,

You can ask them to give you some heads up and be prepared for what they might have to face once you land or arrive at your destination…!

You can join groups or travel in one of you don’t feel comfortable travelling all alone,

This way you can meet strangers and talk to them as much as you want…!

Which is supported by people who will take care of you but for that you will have to pay the amount upfront…!

These would be some ways in which I would find companionship while travelling,

Well some of them can be my relatives too…!

Can’t they….?

Cheers 🥂

Morning walks under sun and decluttering life…!

What are some life hacks that you practice?
26/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

There are a few life hacks that I practice to keep myself sane tbh…!

Even these things that get labelled as monotonous help me live my life to the fullest…!

Well firstly,

I pen down anything that I have on my mind the first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up before going to the washroom or during the time I’m sitting on the can…!

Secondly,

The morning walks that help me declutter my mind,

And,

It helps me get a fresh perspective into life while looking at these flowers, leaves and people who surround us…!

Thirdly

I think I sit on a lot of things and believe the fact that everything that comes to me doesn’t necessarily has to be an inspiration that I can work on at that very instant,

But some of them are a fragments that I can conveniently place in a story line later or somewhat of a life lesson which helps me picture a piece later..!

Fourth

When something hurts me,

I turn to writing about it from both gendered perspectives which gives me an insight to work on later…!

This thinking from both ways has given me an insight into how it feels to the feminine character too…!

Lastly

I manage my time a whole lot,

I try to fix my hours at work and not overwork myself because that gives me less and less reason to continue it the next day…!

And,

But,

All of the things come to a halt when I’m writing…!

I guess these four hacks are the top most of the things that I do,

Honestly—

To live this life in a fuller way and better way than to rot in my bed…!

An activity that is somewhat of a fixed thing that happens on my day off…!

🫪😂

What are the life hacks that you have which let you life a better life…?

Do let me know in the comments…!

Cheers 🥂

Being spontaneous and planning a trip to Shimla…!

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
23/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Well,

The most spontaneous thing that I ever did was to leave…!

To be honest I left home in the late hours before my day off i.e. A Sunday and travelled…!

Well,

I ended up exploring Delhi that day…!

I went without a thought just my phones and a wallet with some money in it…!

That’s it…!

I ended up talking to a friend of mine who lives in old Delhi and told him that I was in the vicinity and if he was free and to my coincidence he was…!

It was paranthas at first which we shared and later it was Karim’s where we worded butter chicken and mutton mughlai with plain rice and butter naan…!

My mouth feels like it’s watering right now remembering the flavor…!

🤤🤤

Another one was crashing at a friends place after I called him out of blue and asked him about his well being…!

We hung out for a while, had coffee and decided to crash the night after getting dinner and this guy was a pure vegetarian so we grabbed some snacks chaap and paneer and the ol reliable black dal and a kadai panner with butter naan…!

Lastly,

I’d call the most spontaneous thing that I ever did was the trip to Shimla…!

Yes,

I just got paid and decided to spend the time with a friend who shifted to America..!

We planned the trip and were out of our homes with a bag and another one with the booze that we carried on ourselves…!

We reached Shimla, booked a spot and went out during the day and drank at night with company,

Snacks and a light dinner later…!

Even if it feels like I’m not that spontaneous,

I’ve had my share of romance too…!

I mean I surprised my now ex who lived an hour away from my residence where I surprised her with a cake and a plan for a night out which was refused by her because her parents being strict and all…!

And we spend the few hours that we had with each other and after grabbing coffee and cutting the cake I dropped her off at her home and she invited me in which I refused because we weren’t a thing at that point…!

Khair

Let bygones be bygone…!

What about you…?

Did you do something that you would consider spontaneous…?

Well it doesn’t have to be every day, these instances were months apart to be honest…!

Cheers 🥂

A girl who changed my perspective…

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
31/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well..!

Yes,

I wanted to write and I am beginning to write this prompt at exactly 00:02 hours;

A few minutes before I submitted the daily prompt which I had to on 30th…!

I think it will be a good day, because I have a whole lot planned and I will try to complete it by the evening…!

Returning to the prompt…!

The kindest things that someone has ever done for me would be to tell me that I was worthy of love and I deserved it as much as any other person did…!

I lost that girl a few years back because I was not in the right place for a relationship or even marriage…!

And to be honest I was never in a place to reject someone but,

I did,

And that moment still haunts me to this day,

Because I haven’t found someone who would love me like her…!

But,

There’s nothing that I can do, because she is happy in a relationship with someone who deserved and treated her in a much better way than I ever could…!

Khair…

It was her,

And,

Even when life was not kind to her she was kind to me,

And that is something that I learnt from her and tried to incorporate in my life by looking happy and carrying a smile on my face;

And wishing everyone with much more love and respect which I used to do before…!

Khair again

She taught me it was possible to love someone even when you are broken and trying to mend yourself…!

And I genuinely wish,

Whenever my heart cries out—

I wish this life was a bit less cruel to her and she could have found the person who loves her before those people came into her life…!

I think this will be a right place to end…!

Song of the day is here

Nseeb

A name that rang with respect, admiration and a voice that makes even the established people weak in their knees…!

Freestyle 21 brings out the aggressiveness that hides within and how people move in the shadows and show their true intention when they come face to face with their problems…!

And it’s the end of either one of them…!

That is who

Nseeb is and will be forever…!

Business owners and their fight each day…!

If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why?
30/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Yeah,

It’s late at night right now and I have to give you a perspective,

A peek into my mind and what it thinks right now…!

It was a good day,

A bit hectic and pushing a few deadlines to the day after tomorrow I.e. Tuesday; we packed up today…!

Coming back to the prompt…!

Well,

If it ever became me chasing money then this business would collapse the very next day…!

Because,

It would genuinely be better to work any other job that paid consistently every month…!

No matter what package you chase;

Seven figures, eight figures, in the matter of a year

Or

a matter of a few months,

Or

Each month…!

I heard there are some who are flipping bricks and making their bosses the same amount that you and I spend an year chasing;

In a single day…!

But,

You cannot ignore the risks that come with doing that kind of work…!

Let’s stay on the legal path for now…!

If I were ever in any job that has the inconsistency that a business owner faces,

You’d start kicking the managers and other top level executives before talking and settling things…!

It could be that you can achieve your monthly salary today,

And,

You are sitting in a few ten thousands figure the rest of the week and that is how it remains…!

If I were to be paid my monthly salary and pushes into a field that is different from this,

It would most likely be teaching or working as a supervisor in some other place,

Or,

Be a better writer who writes how he likes and people gobble it all up,

But,

How does that even happens before we leave this earth for good,

And,

Someone accidentally stumbles upon our stuff one day…!

(Khair…)

Not to sound so negative,

But,

That’s how life is…!

You might think not for you—

But,

It’s important that you know life is like that for all of us,

We have to take rest in death’s embrace and we won’t be able to share what it feels like to anyone ever..!

Let’s be a good person before our life comes to an end…!

Answer prompt,

Read them,

Comment how they mad you feel and let me

Know if there is a need to improve…!

Song of the day/night is here

Iykyk

I know you heard it in cassette or cds and now they exist in your Spotify or YouTube playlist…!

When you feel like nothing makes sense in love life,

Or,

You’re generally upset in life…!

You’ll find vibing with Mughal-e-Azam songs a whole lot…!

Watch/listen to ponder life or someone who left you…!

Cheers 🥂

Famous restaurants in Delhi…!

Which is the best restaurant in your city?
15/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Happy independence day to those who are celebrating…!

Maybe you are planning to host a get-together, or you will be joining someone who invited you…!

Or maybe you are going outside with your family to eat and this prompt couldn’t come at the right time…!

Even if you would like to stay at home and order in that would be perfect because of delivery services like zomato/swiggy…!

Or,

Maybe you’re like me munching on some matar or some matthi straight out of the box like some caveman…!

I guess this box will end by the evening and I’ll need to buy some more for later…!

And I don’t take any questions about the box because it was thoroughly cleaned before I put matar in those…!

Why do we call it matar you ask,

Because it’s in the shape of a matar or a pea pod 🫛, well without the peas of course…!

Also,

Can you call it a day off when you don’t wake up early and everyone who is at home wants you to work early on in the morning…?

I was woken up by the maid cleaning our house and mom having a loud conversation about her life, her daughter and how her son is going out of her hand…!

And to someone who just woke up, it felt like they were having a full blown fight and I ran into my living room,

And guess what,

They were having a normal conversation and I tried to go back to sleep,

Emphasis on the tried to…!

So guess what,

I had to help my sister put up curtains and our ladder broke and after fixing it my sister decided to make breakfast..!

And after considering a while and deciding on poha which I love,

She decided to make vermicelli…!

😅🥲🥲

So I guess we will be having vermicelli after all…!

Back to the best restaurant in my city…!

Well none of these are in order and they will give you want you want and how you want it to feel…!

First would be Pukhtaän

If tou know what I’m talking about you already are familiar with the flavor of the Padma shri awardee chef Imtiaz Qureshi’s son Ashfaque Qureshi…!

I was able to enjoy once in Rajouri Garden and taking home delivery more than four times in Karol Bagh(which was recently closed down due to them not being able to secure enough well paying crowd here…!)

Everything slaps here,

Even its black dal or red meat…!

You are paying good amount for the food and your expectations will be exceeded for sure…!

Second would be New Tera hotel

Situated right next to where the pukhtaän was in Karol Bagh,

You will be greeted by a handsome Sardarji with a warm welcome and a big smile where you can either place your order or dine in at any given time of the day…!

I’d recommend the paneer bhurji and their double fry dal along with parantha or naan I’d recommend to try to garlic one…!

A pure veg restaurant which uses ghee for cooking all of the dishes,

They can swap out garlic too but you’ll have to confirm that yourself…!

Third would be Panjabi Angeethi

A place that I get delivered my food from every now and then,

Even if it’s only for you or a party that you’re hosting, they have awesome deals like paneer, daal, chaap, pulao,rolls etc…!

You can have food and never get tired of it…!

Last would be Prem Dhaba…!

From veggie options to all non veg options you can have food at their venue, infront of the restaurant in your car or get it delivered…!

I have been having their food ever since I was a kid and you cannot match that they serve because it’s mixed with nostalgia for me…!

You can check them all out one visit at a time, if you plan to visit Delhi or Karol Bagh any time in the near future…!

Let’s not forget the song of the day

Die young

Don’t we wish to rush and earn big money and die fast…?

Well,

Not if you want to leave a legacy and live a long life and set an example that the people around you can look upto…!

The obsession that some of us have with gangsta rap is something we cannot explain to others, while we drive to our desk job or office…!

Gagg-E and Deep Dhaliwal…!

Happy Independence Day to those who are celebrating…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Being minimal and still ending up with cleaning duty every other day…!

What’s your home decoration style?
29/07/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Well,

I’m not that into home decor but there are certain things that I want that I will get once I get to that earning level…!

To be honest, being the only one earning in my family and spending money only on my family and essentials is something that I was taught to do…!

And when I do have some spare money or something that I can spend,

I usually buy my mom and sister something nice 😊

Because who am I without them…?

Now about the actual decor…!

We have a combination of cream and walnut brown as a basic tone of our house…!

And we have a clean and minimal decor and none of the things you see in a fancy movie where you watch a Indian household with big chandeliers or canvases spreading along the walls or ornaments that collect dust and demand regular cleaning…!

With only three people at home I think we can avoid a lot by cutting our times which would be wasted on regular cleaning and maintenance…!

I mean you can have it however you like, but there is already a lot of clutter in our home and I feel that we have to clean it every other day…!

But,

That cleaning and arranging it takes a lot of our free time and it makes no sense that we spend a chunk of our time here…!

Khair

Cleaning has to happen each day anyway and we can make it interesting by listing to some music and that brings us to the song of the day…!

You know we never forget our roots and this song takes us back to our culture and brings out in a single song how panjabi’s are…! Loud AF

Karan Aujla all the way…!

Listen to it if you have time,

The link is just above…!

Cheers 🥂(to Karan Aujla for existing and bringing Panjabi music on top…)

Love Waakiye 🤍

Artists who transform lives with their penmanship…

What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?
28/07/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

If you don’t already know I listen to music and whole lot…!

Not music videos but music in the form that I have my wireless buds in my phone and I listen it to wherever I go…!

To be honest music has been one thing which has kept me sane,

And kept me alive up until this point of time…!

Imagine not having anyone to talk to and music being something that heals you and provides you with comfort that you wanted…!

Comfort that I sought from someone else when I had no one around me…!

So these songs and music became something that saved me from these disruptive thoughts and suicidal tendencies that I had some years back…!

The real truth…!

Khair

I’m happy, those times are a thing of the past now and I feel really happy that I didn’t give up on life,

Thanks to music and a few people around me who helped me continue this life even if they aren’t a part of my life anymore,

I am happy they chose their own life and developed into beautiful and vibrant people who I come across every now and then…!

Walked away from the prompt there, let’s circle back..!

There is a song called

This is how it feels(feat. Superdupersultan)

The person who wrote and sang used to be called Boljani earlier but now he goes by the name Jani…!

The song in question…!

The song(An Understatement) takes you(the listener) on a path that gives you a perspective on how sadness and loss of a loved one feels…!

I cannot point out a single line or a bar from the song but,

If you can do listen to it and tell me how it felt to you and if it was able to spark anything in you…!

(Urdu lyrics written in Hindi)

उदासी का घड़ा हूँ फिर आ भरो ना मुझको,

ऐसा करो ना, के मैं फिर से किसी का ना रहूँ,

बुलंदियों पर हूँ खड़ा, पर वह सताह ही कहु;

Translations

I am an empty vessel of sadness, please fill me up once again,

Do something to me once again that I feel shrouded by nothingness and I lose the sense of my belonging,

Today I stand on the top but I feel like I’m troubled and tormented by your absence…!

I would love you to listen to it once and let me know “ this is how it feels” to you…!

Cheers 🥂

A smartwatch for my mum..!

What is the best purchase you have ever made?
23/07/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

There are a few purchases that I regret making in life and think about how I could have saved money if I was sensible enough back then…!

But,

Today’s prompt is on the contrary,

The best purchases we have made with money-

It could be your hard earned money,

or it could have been a partial payment was made by you and rest was taken up by someone,

Or you are still paying emi’s for it…!

A purchase is a good one only if you can pay it off without worrying about how you will manage the rest…!

For me,

One of the best purchases I made for myself is the iPhone that I bought for myself,

Even if it was a second hand one, I have been using it ever since I bought it and it’s the medium that I use to connect with the world and bring you all of the posts…!

I made the payment in full and was gifted some accessories as I got it from a friend who runs a small business of selling phone accessories and it belonged to his sisters friend and they wanted to sell it because she was upgrading it..!

Khair

I ended up with this iPhone and I’m using it each and every day since then…!

There was a different happiness as it is my first apple device and I bought it from the money I earned through hardwork…!

The best purchase that I made for my mom was a smart watch…!

She wanted to track her progress and steps but she told me that she couldn’t carry her phone with her all the time,

So it was a noise smartwatch which tracks her steps, heart rate and sleep which gives her an insight into what she is doing right or wrong…!

Oh the happiness on her face when I took it out of the box and tightened it on her wrist and paired with her phone…!

And she was overjoyed to tell me that she listened and made her first call on that watch…!

Which made me realise how fast technology has changed and one day as I was returning from work I made a call and asked her if we needed anything for home…?

she recited a list and I wrote it on my phone..!

And she was overjoyed to tell me that she picked up that call on her watch and there was so much happiness on her face I couldn’t comprehend it…!

Yes the call was a bit choppy but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that so I kept that piece of information to myself…!

These are the two of the best purchases I made the latter one is much more close to me…!

I hope you have a good day and this read brings you some nostalgia..!

Cheers 🥂

TV shows I’d like to watch once again…!

What’s a book, movie, or TV show that you wish you could experience again for the first time?
20/06/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

I’m not that much into movies but I do watch when I’m with someone like a friend or a group of them and we decide on watching one;

Reading has been my forte and it has helped me grow to who I am today…!

but,
there are different perspectives I gain when I’m reading it from different pov’s and it always is like a new read for me whenever I pick up a book…!

There is a TV series that I’d love to rewatch once again,
and experience it once again;

It would be,

The Office

I know it might be a choice that many people might choose but,
there is something so funny about the premise that makes me forget everything that is looming over my head and helps me relax as I watch clips of it on YouTube…!

I’m at a point where every other video is the pranks jim played on Dwight or a collection of bloopers that happened during the recoding,
let’s not forget the deleted scenes that didn’t make the cut…!

If I can ever get to watch the whole series once again with a clean slate along with the bloopers at the end of each episode plus the deleted scenes at the end of each season it would be a blast…!

Another TV series.
Well not technically TV but YouTube series would be

The Big Lez Show

It’s such a good movie that started at ms paint and led to what it is right now,
I watched it a few years back as it was recommended by someone I know;

And it changed my view on Australian comedy…!

So much effort when into it and it was such a sad ending when the show came to an end that it broke something within me…!

They are still working on mini series and standalone series of characters who were the part of the main series and it is such a good recap as it brings back a lot of memories…!

These two TV shows I’d like to watch again after forgetting all of the memories that i currently have of them…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
