Hope your Sunday goes well, you wake up well rested and do get to spend some time with your significant other…!
.
While people like me spend their time at work…!
😅😂
Well,
I can tell you what it felt like to meet someone who I considered to be my significant other…!
We found each other broken by people and with next to no hope that we will ever love anyone anymore—
Through an app where we expressed how we felt and who we were after we found loss in our love lives…!
It was a random piece of text,
That made her realise how lonely I was,
And after that a story that made her feel how lonely she was…!
So,
She decided to connect with me,
On an app where we remained anonymous and I would see her like,
Her comment,
Or a side note which gave that piece of text a life in the sense that there was some longing in her heart and mind too…!
And,
From that side notes we went to talking to each other about things,
About life,
About who we were and who we are—
And what we wanted to be in our lives…!
Things went from talking to discussing future in the matter of half a year,
But,
Nonetheless,
There were things that she was fighting and one day,
Something came up,
Well,
Someone did…!
An ex,
And,
She told me what happened,
How she couldn’t control herself and how she still had feelings for him,
And guess what happened ahead…?
Our paths forked,
Occasionally I get a call, a message or two where she talks about how she is and what is going on in her life…!
And,
I talk to her about everything,
Everything but love…!
Because I know that won’t happen ever again…!
How we found our significant other’s,
Who still weren’t over their past and those who did them wrong…!
In no way this piece of text berates her, there was love, sincere one in our hearts—(well I can tell you that I had in mine…)
And if we didn’t end up together,
I wish she ends up with someone who she loves and deeply cherishesand he does the same to her…!
Don’t we want that when we truly love someone…? 😶
Song of the day is here
One of the biggest people in Panjabi music right now,
Arjan Dhillon…!
The whole album sikhar is a recreation of poetry written by the pillars of Panjabi literature where they express through these words how they felt about the lives they lived and the loved ones who they lost…!
The song “hawa banke” is such a great poetry that explains how someone passed through them like wind does to the trees, rustling through the leaves…!
While someone like us we are left there just like a thin stemmed birch tree…!
Well not now because I’m involved in a lot of things but even back when I was a kid;
.
I used to fall asleep mid movie or watched it but didn’t pay any attention to it…!
It was rare for me to sit for an hour and a half and stare at the screens,
And now that the size of the screens have reduced to the point that they can fit into our pockets,
I rarely get enough time to watch them too…!
More than movies you will see my YouTube Home Screen filled with videos taking me to ancient civilisations and exploring deep science…!
Now those are the things that pique my interest…!
Coming back to the answering the prompt…!
I rarely get a chance to watch movies,
But the TV series called dark…!
It’s ending made me cry,
Well cry to the point where I was in my room bawling my eyes out…!
Because of the fact that these two who were madly in love realising that they were the problem in the matrix and if they were gone,
Well,
Well not present—
It would return the time back to its normal state and let everyone and everything return to its peaceful nature…!
It tells us how the fragments survive even after we are not meant for each other…!
Even if not in memory—
They continue to live on in the feelings and cause us both pain and happiness when their thought comes to our mind…!
Coming back to the song of the day…!
Tyson Sidhu
I know you must have heard about him a few years back and he is coming back with a boost which makes us think of the past and how much we all loved him…!
This song is from 2023 and stays in my playlist because it slaps…!
The last one was from 2025 called Dhokhe and it is something that makes us realise what we missed…!
What’s a conspiracy theory you actually find believable?
18/08/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
There are many conspiracy theories that roam my mind and they range from a few which are believe able like the evil nature of people who we choose and elect to represent us and run the nations we reside in;
To—
Something that would sound fiction like each and everyone who is at the top is in fact an alien being who controls the flow of money to keep poor people poor and let the rich stay rich…!
But,
A well presented partially told truth is much better than hiding it all would be rhe conspiracy I’d go with…!
I think the way that the people at the top(whom we chose to be our representatives) selectively release stuff and information many years later when it would prove to be fruitful to us common public…!
And their method of release might be vague, like black taping many things like we see in the 3pstein files—
How a lot of information and images are taped over to protect the victims but within that a lot of people who should be incriminated are also maybe on purpose hidden…!
Khair
There is this concept of letting us feel unwanted and away from the information that would compromise people in authority,
And when that sort of information seeps through the cracks and causes chaos amongst those whose reputation would be harmed—
They try their best to cover it up and postpone its release until later date until the person is no longer in power or maybe not alive anymore…!
And what would you do to the person who is no longer alive…?
Once the leak confirms the act or the thing that causes real harm to the public and trust in the government and its working…!
For this sole reason,
Only a selective portion of information is released to the public,
Enough to keep us in a close loop hooked onto it until we discover another path that causes us to discover even more things much more tragic in nature…!
Fr@zzledrip would be one of them..!
(It’s very gruesome and I’d recommend against you checking it out , but if you have a strong heart, I’d recommend it to you…!
Let’s not forget the song of the day…
Exploring Marathi hip hop…!
Sambata
The name is enough to bring fear into the minds of the people who hate him…!
A upcoming rapper and hip hop artist who bring such an agressive flow that people bow down to his talent and art…!
From Pinnak (another one of his songs) to now an album Maaz—
Every beat that he has spit over becomes something of a cult classic..!
Do check it out if you plan to listen something new, fresh and a different language’s perspective on gangster rap…!
Do check it out and show love to upcoming artists because they are our future…!
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…!
If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say?
14/08/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Well,
Didn’t we answer a prompt like this before…??
Or maybe I think I’m confusing this prompt with something that was along the same lines…!
The message written on a piece of paper would be—
You are not going to understand everything that will happen in the near future, keep the curious nature of yours just the way it is and keep on answering questions even if they are to yourself…!
Keep on penning those strange ideas that you think won’t belong anywhere, not on the internet or someplace public but store them in your notes app and give them a space in your phone instead of your mind…!
You aren’t born in the wrong place or the wrong time, you are born perfectlythat too in a place where people need truth to their face and how life is different from person to person…!
Remember to spend time with your dad and your friends who will leave you one day and you won’t be able to see them ever again…!
Also,
Cherish those who are around you when they are around you…!
You will spend most of it thinking how you were pulled from what you were supposed to become and what you became…!
You will learn that you will not be able to control it so for backup in the corner there will be a few winning lotto numbers which will help you in life…!😂
Also don’t go to but each lotto ticket yourself buy it through people and share a portion with them if those numbers win…!
(Buy a few duds too so no one thinks you got this letter from me…!)
😂😂😂
Khair
Keep on living, surviving and being who you are…!
Let’s not forget the song of the day…!
Wazir patar to the world..!
Khamakha a song that tells us how a pair separated but when they think of a reason now it feels that, that reason wasn’t valid or feels childish now…!
You probably know him by the popular songs that he has released like notorious…!
Or one of the biggest songs he produced for Sidhu Moose wala,
GOAT OR MALWA BLOCK..!
He also sings and bring to us songs that fill us to the brim with feelings and emotions and makes us wonder about those who were with us when we had nothing…!
A dinner would be a nice time to discuss the things and aspects about life, relationships and all the interpersonal conversation and relations that we have or try to have in our daily life…!
Well instead of choosing a single author why can’t I have something like the last supperwhere we discuss things and arrive at conclusions together…!
First would be Fyodor Dostoevsky
A dinner that would destroy me mentally but I wouldn’t give in anytime soon and ask a follow up question after questing my sanity and processing a reply Of course the food would get cold as I think and ponder in my imaginative world and form a reply or another question…!
Second would be Jorge Luis Borges
We would discuss(well argue) about the time and its constrains,
And if the time or the passage of it is made up just to extract more from us…!
And we would discuss the infinite traps that we are currently experiencing as we try to wiggle through each day…!
We would end up creating a person in an imaginative world and give them all of the problems that we deal with on the daily and try to revive them each time they fall or aren’t left with any more hope…!
A complete science experiment within our heads that’s what it would become at the end…!
Third would be Khalil Gibran
As you know my obsession with the author and the type of work where everything is answered in a poetic fashion which would become lame after the first hour and I would beg them to talk normally—
We would discuss love, grief, human nature and its complexities, and by the end we would probably be swirling wine/drinking whiskey neat with some ice as it cools the glasses as we process every problem that exists and will exist in the near future…!
Last would be Rabindranath Tagore
Yes,
A bit of a polar opposite,
But,
We would discuss poetry, love, spirituality and love for our country that we share…!
Well,
For once my thoughts and ideas would be heard and ideas would flow in our native language rather than taken as critical comment and handled with hostility—
I’d have room to learn and explore my own self and a chance to expand my horizon too…!
A dinner well staring with appetisers and leading to main course which happens all of us are done grabbing at each others throats and maybe end with a cold dessert which would bring some cool and calmness into us after which all of us would leave after bidding our goodbyes to each other…!
Before going check out the song of the day…!
Gagan kooner and my obsession with Panjabi language…!
One of the best upcoming artists who loves to create his own music and write his own lyrics,
And brings the listeners to the brim of emotion and cause them to feel very much once the song ends..!
If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?
11/08/2026@Waakiye
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
If I were on the receiving end of the message that my future self sent us,
I hope it would go like this—
“We made it…”
I know what our goals are and how long term both of us think when we are trying to achieve these short term goals which become a stepping stone to achieve those bigger dreams of ours…!
And,
I know from what point are we talking about-
It’s either everything or nothing that’s sorted,
And if i receive these words from my future self, i know they had a meaning and the purpose is sufficed once they reached me…!
We know the person we are today and what all is happening around us and how it changes who we will become today but the dreams that we have in our mind,
They won’t change….!
And I don’t tell my dreams to anyone because they end up spoiling once they reach ears that shouldn’t…!
I hope that I receive these words soon because it has been a long while since I’ve been putting in efforts tho,
But,
I know I need to amp it up more and deliver on the promises that I made to myself and those around me…!
Song of the day is here…!
Shamoon Ismail is here guys
One artist who is like a blessing to my ears is from the other side of our Panjab…!
Shamoon Ismail finds his place in my playlist every now and then,
But a lot of content is hidden due to India not allowing Pakistani content and content creators access to Indian subcontinent due to disrupted ties amongst us…!
Khair
I wish these borders could vanish one day and we could go and have chikkad chanay for breakfast and they come here to have amritsari kulche and lassi for breakfast with us…!
What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?
Hey…
I know it’s a late update but I had guests that came on my day off at 7 in the morning so,
And I planned to sleep in but you already know that’s not possible once I have people over especially if they’re from Panjab…!
And let me tell you they brought a sweet that my father used to love,
And by love I mean he absolutely devoured them whenever he got them and also bought them himself whenever he got a chance to go to Ludhiana…!
It’s called besan(Literally gram flour) because that’s the major portion of the sweet burfi…!
The single piece on the bottom left is gone because I just inhaled it..!😋
Well,
I do explore wherever I go,
Because the type of food that each places bring us is different from each others,
Well there can be similarities like the same dish being cooked but the flavor profiles cannot be matched…!
This mornings breakfast was kachori, bedmi puri and bread pakoras
The place that sells the best kachoris in Rehgar pura…!
They sell absolutely lip smacking samosas in the evening which people com from a a far to eat daily timing for the Samosas are from 4 pm onwards to the time they close at 9 at night…!
Last week I got an update from the brownie point that they started selling Russian honey cake(also called Medovik)
I can share a pic but the top layer of it has been eaten by the kids at home and I am sure they are waiting to eat it once they come back after visiting my brother in law’s house…!
There were two in the box originally, the residue suggesting it..!
Let’s have some Chinese grapes for the time being which I bought this morning as I was out to buy the Kachoris…!
550 a kilo and I died a Little when that rate reached my ears,
Khair
I bought it and I have to enjoy it…
While shedding some tears 😭
Whenever I visit the states where my family lives or even if we go someplace on a whim;
(Well not so much these days but when I was younger…)
We used to find places to crash in and move on the next day..!
We once event to narkanda and enjoyed siddu there…!
Which we absolutely hated from our guts…!
I don’t know why but maybe it wasn’t properly cooked or something else,
And I’m willing to try it again…!
A year back I got a chance to go to Jalandhar and I visited lucky dhaba…!
What I would give to go there once again and eat parantha with a small cube of butter, curd and after a while tea which they make all day…!
My mouth is salivating right now…!
And the grapes are long gone now…!
Do eat and drink(if you do and within your limits) when you go and explore a new place/city or even a country…!
Song of the day is here…!
🙇🏻
Shirkiwal, Anamika and Yashraj Mishra powered by Shakti studio sounds here in noida..!
All of them are hit and making music for the culture instead of going for commercial success(I know they dabble in that too but that is essential for an artists survival because the rent is due too…)
