  • On the brink of extinction, the human nature

    On the brink of extinction, the human nature

    What will your life be like in three years?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    With times uncertain as they are right now some days I really think is there any chance of survival for us as humans in the next couple of years…

    With Ai at the brink of an explosion which gives it power to compute much beyond humans (its super intelligent form),

    Which would mean a lot of our our jobs will be taken over and we will have to find other means and sources to make do what we are doing or love…

    The texts that you and I read and write; for them a lot of Ai tools has come to refine them or make them better which means that in coming years too a lot of content that you will read will either be a part of Ai or wholly made by Ai;

    What will happen once everything that is made has no connection to humans whatsoever…?

    A fearful scenario to think about but it’s not that far into the future maybe within the five year mark…?

    Fear inducing thought…!

    Cheers (To all our survival) 🥂

  • 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…)

    Cheers 🥂

  • Untitled post 1162

    What are your favorite websites?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Well this question is a curveball, my favourite websites, the answer to this question has changed so much in such a short time that even I cannot fathom the change when I look back at it…

    Earlier when there weren’t any streaming services and we had to watch movies/videos, only thing available was a shabby copy of it online, sometimes a torrent file other times a website whose name isn’t coming to mind right now but those were the good old days;

    Nowadays they’re replaced by Netflix prime Hulu and whatnot, leeching money away from us slowly and steadily…

    These days the media that we consume is replaced by shorts i.e. YouTube and Instagram (YT shorts and reels) being one of the most easily consumed short length media which effectively eats up all the time until you remember to look away from the screen and it’s 2 am in the morning and you have work at 9:30 😭…

    Even I watch some anime there’s a website called Animekai it’s a bit tricky to operate a little slow but when you get a hang of it it feels like the world has brought it to you firsthand…

    For writing this is the app that I prefer WordPress where I can freely write what I feel to my content and call them truly my own,

    I’ve had my series of problems, content deleted without notification, a few apps shutdown so I had to scramble to get all of my stuff copied because they wouldn’t give me an official copy when needed, but still there’s no hatred in mind for no one…

    And this place is what I call my own where I can truly be who and what I like to be…

    For music I use

    YTmusic(YouTube music for short),

    A single subscription for my family allows me to use it and I use it to my full content because I love to listen to music no matter the borders that we are bound in by the people…

    With that being said this post comes to an end,

    I hope your Sunday goes well and the coming week is a bit soft on you…

    Cheers 🥂

  • The dreaded partition of 1947

    The dreaded partition of 1947

    What historical event fascinates you the most?

    Hi…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    There’s so much fascinating things that happened in our past that piques my interest, but if I were to point out a single one of them it would definitely be partition of my country INDIA…

    Aftermath of that are still faced to this day, I’ve seen people without purpose and reason just existing on this side and on the other side too, sometimes all one does is question themselves are they born on the right side…?

    Being from a family whose ancestors travelled from what is now Pakistan and settled here in India a sense of love and friendship still exists somewhere in this heart of ours, even though a lot of bloodshed happened in retaliation of which we also picked arms and caused harm of equal or more intensity…

    Imagine leaving your friends, your ancestral home, your neighbours, your world behind and travelling beyond the line that was etched onto a map and now enforced by setting up boundaries and on it army personnel letting you pass only after checking…

    It was chaos, there was so much loss and the place that my ancestors settled was covered in grass that was as high as knees length which contained mutilated body parts of the people who resided here before us who became victim of the violence that took place which uprooted them from the very place that they settled in to raise their young ones…

    It was such a horrific incident that the survivors still tell us the tales of the horrors they saw from their very two eyes and all of it plays in their mind like it happened last night…

    A truly horrible happening that shaped our very core, fascinating all those who decide to step into this thought of process and try to feel how they must have endured it all…

    Cheers(to those who live to tell this tale to us)

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • Navigating Risks: Security vs. Adventure Mindset

    Navigating Risks: Security vs. Adventure Mindset

    Daily writing prompt
    Are you seeking security or adventure?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    Today’s prompt is a good one,
    and it categorizes the life and its teaching into two main points,
    how you grew up,
    what sort of beliefs you have,
    what sort of beliefs were you provided and,
    what sort of beliefs you accepted and adapted yourself with them…

    For me,
    I seek security with a touch of adventure…

    I’d go for a new dish at a restaurant,
    every once in a while,
    and order the usual on the regular days,
    and if I don’t like it,
    I won’t send it back,
    but,
    save it as an adventure that went the other way…

    When we go out,
    and there is a new experience to achieve,
    I’ll think about it for a while,
    and if it’s not as safe as it looks,
    I won’t do it,
    but,
    at the same time,
    the adventurous me looks at the scared me,
    and speaks nothing when my mind warns me about the safety issue…

    The same happens in the workplace,
    if there is something a pitch or an idea that involves some amount of risk factors,
    but the outcome of it shall place me at a higher level than those around me,
    I’d happily opt in and research it through and through,
    and bring it up in meetings or in private too,
    but,
    with a lot of calculations,
    I’d consider it,
    if it was worthy of taking the risk or not…

    Generally,
    it happens that all of us take a mix of it,
    a sense of security comes in when there is too much to lose,
    and a sense of adventure comes in when we don’t have much care,
    but,
    consequences of it still are there on one’s mind,
    making it worthy of taking the risk…

    That’s it for the day,
    enjoy the last day of your day off today,
    spend some time being productive and preparing for the days that are yet to come…

    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 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

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

  • 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 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    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 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    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 I Conquered My Nerves at a Theatrical Play

    What makes you nervous?

    Even though I’m quite a reserved person,
    there are some things that give birth to nervousness within me….

    Being the person that I am,
    I’m not that open to new experiences and if I want to experience new ones,
    it feels like my mind already has planned all of the outcomes even before I am to undergo the “Said” experience…

    For example;

    I once went to a theatrical play and I was running late,
    I had a fixed seat which I booked a few weeks in advance.

    On reaching there a little late,
    the host had already opened with the introductions.

    …….

    As I entered and looked for my seat and saw someone else sitting in mine,
    on telling them this was my seat,

    He told me he had a seat in the middle somewhere which he booked outside the hall,
    can I take that one..?

    On telling him that I couldn’t
    because I booked this seat weeks prior and I will sit here;

    Nervousness creeped in
    as he didn’t get up even after asking politely,
    and after that in a stern voice,
    after a few moments the staff came in as he stated to raise his voice against me.

    Knowing this was a public place,
    and they reserved the right for our admission,
    as I showed them the ticket and he was politely told to go to his seat,
    which he refused.

    On pausing the play for a moment all the lights were lit,
    and the said person was told to move to his seat or to be escorted out of the venue by security.

    The smug look on his face now wiped clean as he murmured something in his mouth and squeezed himself to his seat in the middle..

    That thing made me quite nervous.

    But thankfully I booked in advance and the staff were really helpful…!

    Overall,
    A good day that was.

    Apart from me losing my sh|t there.

    Cheers 🥂

    The first pic I took as I reached the destination after transversing through roads that were small and had a great abyss on the other side; the hazy memories of those times stay just like these pictures in my mind!!!
