    What is good about having a pet?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    There are so many things associated with having a pet,

    All those who have one they know it all too well for those who don’t I’ll tell it to you too…

    Imagine returning home and having someone waiting for you ready to shower you with love as soon as you step into the main door,

    Waiting for you hours upon hours…

    As soon as you walk in that door they try to climb you, god forbid you sit on a couch that they can climb on and then they’ll show you how much they missed you, their soft howls will tell you how much they missed you,

    As they rub themselves all over you…

    Don’t even try to eat infront of them because they will force you into giving a portion of your meal to them,

    Oh those sad eyes look at you like they haven’t been fed for weeks…

    A dopamine rush is felt when you pet them, brushing their fur even when you play with them but be aware of changes in their moods which could mean they are getting angry or upset with it…

    But all in they help you by bringing down any sadness that comes your way as soon as you sit near them and thy come on their own to console you…

    I know this is very dog centric that’s because I have two and the life is just so much better with them I cannot tell you how in words…

    Well that’s it for the day,

    Another week has started and I hope this one is better than the last one…

    Cheers 🥂

    Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well there are many purchases that I’ve made for other that might be more expensive than what I’ve purchased for self,

    I’m a person who sees the worth and time that thing will pay itself off before it’s of no use to me anymore or has to be scrapped…

    I’m very heavily invested in music and I have made purchases of expensive bass tubes and speaker sets when they were launched by the company…

    One would be a Samsung wireless sound bar with wireless subwoofer which when launched costed me around 22,000/- INR;

    Another one was a wired multimedia speaker launched in 2016 which was approximately 5,000/- at that time…

    Another purchase was a garmin watch costing 10,000/- I think it was a Vivosmart hr+ and it was when all of this wasn’t even a hype back in 2016…

    More recent purchases are a Samsung tab and an apple device from which I’m writing all of this…

    Nothing of a major purchase but all these little things that help me live my life better and get me the happiness I need,

    Bring me all the peace I need…

    And hey it’s a Sunday again make sure you are well rested and take it slow and also treat yourself if you haven’t…

    Happy Sunday

    Cheers 🥂

  • Some laughters and life lessons worth hearing…

    Some laughters and life lessons worth hearing…

    What podcasts are you listening to?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well there aren’t many podcasts that I’m in these days but there are a few that bless my ears…

    One of the podcasts that I used to listen to was “Violating community guidelines” by Sarah Schauer and Brittany Broski;

    I know weird names but they complimented each other and the funny instances on their podcasts were so hilarious that I often laughed out while working making people think that I’ve gone crazy 🤪..

    48 episodes discussing the trends on the social media and what went on during the year 2022 and the end of it,

    Started in January of ‘22 ending in December of the same year, Ive found myself to go back to it year after year and boost my mood and give me laugh whenever life pins me down…

    These days I’m invested in a podcast called Alan watts daily wisdom and yes they’re sharing the timeless teachings of the philosopher Alan watts through ai in his voice to all the world to listen and view too…

    Started a month ago and 24 videos in gathering a whopping 108k followers as we speak (on yt) I’ve found it very helpful and informative by giving me insight to live this life better in ways that are often overlooked…

    Hope you will find these worth your while…

    Cheers 🥂

  • A lesson that still stays with me.

    A lesson that still stays with me.

    What was your favorite subject in school?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Those times were the ultimate, we could play and be ourselves(our real self) without bothering anyone and do things that we liked instead of what we are right now,

    how we act today to get what we want…

    Leaving it at that,

    My favourite subject was history, in specific ancient Indian history, which I found very interesting due to a dedicated teacher and her clear vision to impart everything that she learnt during her life to her students…

    The lessons were long according to some students (45 minutes) but I couldn’t get enough of them ever, also there were people who hated it from their very core;

    But there were others who loved it too and along with them we formed a group who were very much in love with it and wanted to learn as much as possible within a short period of time…

    We went on walks, explored locations and visited historic sites along with our teacher and learnt all the facts firsthand…

    Many years have passed and most of us still remember the lessons that she used to teach us and often we remember how much condensed information she fed to us within a span of two years…

    The best years of our lives…

    Hope you find a teacher/sir in life that sparks such interest and curiosity in you that has ripple effect all over your life…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Life saving advices to cut screen time…

    Life saving advices to cut screen time…

    How do you manage screen time for yourself?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I’m pretty sure most of the world is suffering with this disease of a very long screen time, hooked on Instagram reels, YouTube shorts and videos, clips on TikTok and many more…

    Time seem to pass by so quickly when we are hooked on them that it feels unreal;

    You started watching them at 10 at night and suddenly it’s 1:30 before you can see the time on the phone which was there all the time…

    There are a lot of things that I use to achieve my goal of reducing screen time a few of them are->

    • Having a separate phone for doing writing without any distractions so that I can focus when otherwise I would find a way to stop writing and doom-scroll Instagram..
    • Tracking screen time on both my phones just to keep in touch with how much I used a single app and how much I need to cut back…
    • Presetting a timer on each app which I use a lot for example I set a timer for an hour on Instagram which is a lot less from 4-5 hours which used to happen without knowing…
    • Trying to avoid using phones for the first few hours I usually wake up and pen my ideas or any dreams that I had, which makes all of it interesting as it boosts my writing skills and also imaginative skills which help me remember what happened in my dream world…
    • And at last, I keep my phones a bit away from me like for charging away from me when I have free time so I’d have to walk to it to get it as I’m on my bed, which cuts the interest in getting up and grabbing it a bit more…

    The last one is a big mind thing I know…😭😂

    And I hope these works for someone in need…

    Cheers 🥂

  • A holiday tailored for yourself…

    A holiday tailored for yourself…

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I’d like to point out this days prompt, there are other holidays too, there were people who were pioneers who shaped our city our country this entire world too,

    But even on their birthday or the day they passed away we continue to live our lives without giving any single thought as to who they were and what they achieved in their life which continues to affect us till this day…

    How one celebrates is entirely upto them if one feels that they can live their life fully by shutting themselves in,

    Or by taking a few more hours of sleep,

    Even an extra long bath,

    There are so many little things that affect our lives in the long run that we forget to live them…

    It might be spending time with a loved one or visiting family that lives far just for a single day…

    A holiday that would be spend according to your own needs would be a holiday in actuality, no matter what the mind desires and it’s able to achieve/do that…

    That’d be the holiday where you can follow your own routine that you make for yourself and nothing matters to anyone but you…

    A dream holiday where everyone does what they want at their own pace

    “A holiday catered to your own needs”

    (A new week is upon us and I hope it’s a smooth sail ahead…)

  • 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…

  • A Journey Through Life’s Stories

    Daily writing prompt
    What topics do you like to discuss?
    View all responses

    Hey,
    I hope you all are doing well…!

    Today’s prompt forced me into exploring my notes app and the pad that I carry on me,
    he|| even the conversations I’ve had with people up until this point…


    It was and has been a fever dream of sorts,
    I’ve talked on human psychology (of all age),


    I’ve talked about love,
    pretty vocal about two people meeting and some intimate scenes too,
    (I don’t know if they are safe to upload here…?)

    I’ve talked about addiction (its consequences too…)
    and numerous stories about people finding true love,
    some about losing their better halves,
    and many losing their lives too…

    There were many a things that shaped me into who i am today and i utilize them wholly
    even the little things that i see as I’m driving from or to work…

    But all of this for a cause greater than life itself,
    to provide each and every one of you a version of life that’s unseen from a place that isn’t explored by many,
    even if we all have it,
    what we call our mind…

    It is maybe due to meeting people from so many different fields,
    some being doctors,
    aspirants of government jobs,
    psychology students,
    teachers of high schools,
    businessman/women
    and many more that are skipping my mind…

    All in,
    it has been a journey that is to be remembered forever,
    and it shall be with the type of influence I’ve got from these godsend people…

    Cheers 🥂

    This is the one place where I found myself,
    the essence of self,
    the being that I am today,
    there were a lot of problems that came within the path of reaching this place,
    but when I stood there,
    and took this picture the breathtaking view absorbing all of it in,
    it felt like I found a new love for the things the same things that existed back home…

  • A risk bigger than life…

    When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

    Hey,

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    One of the biggest risks that I’ve taken on till date is to start all of this,

    Yes, this writing;

    No one in my family had what is called a said knack for writing,

    So,
    All I’ve been doing is hitting it day in day out,
    without skipping one day,

    Also managing my business where I work by hand
    (because I love to do that…)

    There isn’t any said time that I can afford to take out of my day for writing specifically,

    but,
    the ideas that I jot down in my note’s app are really good ones,
    and one day I will start to share them in the form of stories or maybe some short one-two liners that work here…

    Part of the risk is that some days these posts have a better reach, even though I just reached 20 posts here last morning,
    But,

    Being a writer means that you have to tackle this world along with the fight that goes on within,
    to be expressive sometimes vocal about your dreams and wants,

    But,

    At the end of the day
    you can get a good night’s sleep knowing you wrote and expressed how you felt,
    and maybe changed an aspect of someone reading your posts…

    Cheers 🥂

    There’s no such thing as the next moment, until there’s a proof of existence that was acknowledged by someone around you, i.e. your proof of existence is confirmed by those who are around you who know you, like you; and when one shall return to the form that it all began from their presence shall be remembered and the words unspoken shall be regretted forever…

  • How My Cousin Inspired My Writing Journey

    Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

    Hey,

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    This is a basic idea
    The relatives (from your extended family) are the absolute worst people because they pray for your downfall, just because you’re doing a bit better than them..

    But,

    There’s a cousin sister that I have;
    She has been an absolute blessing for me because she has been there for me at times when I couldn’t write or do anything..!

    It was her who pushed me into this direction;
    to write to be expressive to read more books,
    To write random scribbles that come to my mind,
    I still have that old notebook with me where all of this began…

    It was her in our family who pursued English honors and masters and has a good job educating students,

    To be honest even I became a student of her’s in this way,
    and learnt a lot,
    She bought me G0d knows how many books some of which are still left unread,
    but all of this-
    Planting a seed of this writer belongs to her and the nurturing of it belongs to yours truly…

    It has been quite a while that i sent her some of my work that i wrote these past few weeks
    sometimes i upload it on platforms other than this blog,
    but this is a place i can certainly call mine and be truly expressive without any boundaries;

    And i really thank the powers involved and my curious mind for being on the toes and always ready to learn something new,
    just for the heck of it…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye

    A canvas blank this world is, the thoughts and ideas that exist beyond the horizons of our mind, always a quest to conquer, this ever going conquest called our life…
