    Technologies that brought us close to each other.!

    Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?

    18/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I woke up with a news today,

    Mr Sonam Wangchuk who was sitting at the protest for all of students who are considered the future of our nation Was picked up by Delhi police who came in casual clothes around 7 or 7:30 this morning…!

    Just because they wanted his health to not deteriorate anymore,

    And Supreme Court passed a judgement that the state has a duty to preserve life of a person who is on an indefinite strike…!

    This is the angle they chose,

    To save the life of a citizen instead of thinking and acting on the demands that include removal of union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan,

    Because of 20 neet students suicide and recurring failure and lapse in education sector and job creating sector…!

    A dark day in history today…!

    The outdated technologies that I miss are few but I remember them because they remind me and I guess all of us the time spent with our loved ones…!

    First would be cassettes…!

    I remember going to places with my family and we had a cassette player installed in our car and we used to listen to old songs from movies like Mughal-e-Azam;

    When I was a kid I didn’t used to understand the meaning of those when I was a kid,

    But,

    Now when I look back and see my father enjoying them and listening to it as a way to pass time,

    I remember him happy and all of us used to enjoy them…!

    Second would be the bulky tv’s

    I know all of you know the tvs which were huge and had the length of an arms length and they were heavy…!

    Those times are remembered because we used to sit as a family, eat dinner and enjoy the time that we had with each other at night..!

    Limited were the channels but we used to watch movies together and shows which were available at that time…!

    Lastly

    Those close doored PCO booths

    I know it might be too vintage for all of you,

    But I do remember going to pco to call my grandma with my mum;

    Up until we didn’t have a landline at home..!

    There were other things which forced my mum to not use home phone as people at home thought of it as wrong to call her mother every time…!

    We used to enjoy standing in that booth and I think I saw her crying a few times in that booth,

    Which caused pain but we were not aware of what was going on…!

    But,

    Those technologies brought us to who we are today..!

    Today I carry two phones, a laptop and many other things but the distance between us got to much broad that even with all of this connectivity we have moved far away from each other..!

    (Khair)

    Call a loved one today and tell them you care and if possible check up on them on video call…!

    (I know the last part is a bit far fetched but maybe drop a message first..)

    Cheers 🥂

  • Excuses that save some time and help us avoid confrontation with situations…!

    Excuses that save some time and help us avoid confrontation with situations…!

    What is the best excuse you have heard lately?

    17/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Once you become clear with human nature and in how many different places it can run you can hear many excuses,

    And they differ in such a manner that you cannot even fathom it…!

    “Excuses like I’m sick or I’m feeling under the weather” for plans they made and then bailed on later are common,

    And,

    Later finding them enjoying themselves a day or so later made me realise the problem…

    “There are instances where I understand that the excuse is genuine” because I already know them and if they could actually go through the situation that they’re talking about,

    Because people can easily tell someone passed away just to cancel plans,

    But,

    If I knew someone was running sick or had short time on this G0d’s green earth,

    I understand and go to them to give some ease and take some responsibilities off their shoulders…!

    Someone once told me that they thought the plan was of the next day and I sat there dumbfounded,

    Cancelled all my plans and made time from my tight schedule for them and our friendship and guess what,

    Neither that friend exists nor does the friendship anymore,

    We just gradually drifted apart from each other…!

    There might be reasons beyond my doubt or even my comprehension but,

    These excuses make me up,

    You up and all of us up…!

    Sometimes a lie is something that saves us from meeting the person or spilling us out of a situation that we don’t want to be in…!

    And that’s how even the worst of the excuses come with a reason which is to deny your presence or maybe deny a thing or an object that you have problem with letting others take it from you…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Experiences that resonate with the feelings within…

    Experiences that resonate with the feelings within…

    Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?

    16/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I think things that happen around us shape our mind into developing and finding ways out of a problem and develop into something that we are today…!

    I believe in the fact that if you grew up taking hits, blame for others, often being thrown under the bus or even neglected;

    It made you feel that your life didn’t had meaning or you were born to take blame for others…!

    And that shaped you into being precarious about things even someone who was approaching you with positive intentions—

    It made you feel that the world was out to get you and that experiences shaped you to into being scared of any possibility of positivity coming your way…!

    The same can be said the other way around if you grew up in a positive household,

    Or people around who loved you and helped you grow and didn’t scold you at each mistake,

    But told you how you were wrong and taught you how to correct your behaviour or not repeat the same mistake,

    You grow up with a ray of positivity and that is what you reflect into this world and try to help someone who is down in the dumps all the time because that is what you experienced and that is what you turned into and now that is tho you are…!

    There are many who walk on the fine line in between,

    They are broken even though the people around them are positive and try to help them all the time,

    But they are so much in love with the negative side that they cannot give it up,

    And it has become their whole personality and that is what they resonate with…!

    Then there are those who are taking hits each day but still try to walk with a smile on their face and the environment around them bends towards negativity but they don’t give up on it and still try to shine and glow amongst those around them and try to bring a wave of positive energy,

    In a hope that someday the people who are around them might…!

    But,

    At the end I think,

    Who we are shapes how we perceive things that becomes learning experiences in our lives…!

    For example if you grew up in a calm household and there is happiness around you;

    A stressful or a sad situation like G0d forbid someone passes away,

    You feel even more emotional about it…!

    But,

    The same action can bring some ease into the mind of the person who takes care of the person who’s health deteriorated day by day until their passing away…!

    How your mind developed into who you are today matters into creating how you perceive an experience and that in turn develops your character…!

    So keep on living, experiencing and resonating positivity and be a ray of hope in someone’s sad life…!!!

    Because I know you already are…!

  • Soaring above these clouds like an eagle

    Soaring above these clouds like an eagle

    If you had to be an animal for a week, which one would you be and why?

    15/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey..

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    If I were to be an animal for the week I’d probably like to be an eagle 🦅…

    They are apex predators and they cover a lot of ground in a single flight…!

    They are occasionally seen flying in a group but I’ve seen them going solo too…!

    The thing that appeals me is that they are very different from other birds and they generally fly much higher than any other bird that exists in our human knowledge…!

    If I were able to cover long distances and watch the world from such a distance it would be somewhat of a dream come true for me…!

    Other than that,

    I know most of the bird’s life is flying (around 75%) and the rest is mating, resting and other activities that they do…!

    To be in the air and scavenging/hunting for food with my buddies would be a dream that I would call one of the top 10 I’ve had…!

    And it would totally be awesome…!

    Contrary to popular belief eagles rarely fly above clouds,

    And,

    There is nothing called a 150 day moulting period instead the process is ever continuing and they pluck their feathers both from each side to maintain balance;

    So you know the eagle has enough knowledge about what they are doing and how they can achieve stability…!

    Finding their prey from approximately three kilometres and being dedicated enough to grab them by their talons and kill it and enjoy the prey with their mate and their offsprings…!

    A bird that is dedicated enough towards its family and competitive enough towards the outsiders,

    With enough power to crush their enemies to death;

    An eagle would be the perfect choice for me…!

    Take a gander

    Cheers 🥂

  • Exponential technological growth and advancements that we will see in near future…

    Exponential technological growth and advancements that we will see in near future…

    What’s a piece of technology you’re convinced will exist in 20 years?

    14/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A few things that I think will be active and for all of our use are part of this Ai advancements…!

    Interactive Ai assistants with much broader experience and expertise

    I think when we use things like Siri or call out for Google;

    I think they will be more immersive like you can get them to do tasks for you like booking a ticket or checking your groceries in the fridge and order them to stock up in essentials that are running low;

    They can also help in booking an uber faster like you can have type of a speaker to which you can call out things that you need to get done(much like Alexa but more advanced)

    Bots for physical work or work that require higher strength

    I think this is a long shot but,

    Right now Ai is working it’s charm amongst the people as they are leaning towards using agents to use for tackling problems that they face on the daily…

    Even managers at various levels push their employees to use Ai for tackling problems that they face ranging from basic excel problems to asking so for the outline of the email,

    To bigger problems like tacking a task with fewer people and asking how to avoid mistakes that can cost millions…!

    Curated medicine for each one of us

    Whenever we feel under the weather or are facing a bigger problem in life like a life threatening health issue-

    It could be that we have technology that can help us revive even when we have a health issue that is life threatening and we have technology that can curate medicine specifically for us and monitor our condition in real time amd according to that tweak the chemical composition and help us be better soon…!

    Replacement of handheld phones and shift towards smart glasses

    I know it feels something that has been going on for a while,

    But,

    I think the handheld version of devices will soon be the thing of the past and AR glasses will be more of a norm as they easily track your movements and get results to you quicker which in turn gives them more data to compare and an insight into individual human thinking…

    Curated results and changed answers according to your personality and trait would be something that could be seen in the near future…!

    These are some of the things that I think we will be achieving technologically in the near future…!

  • The habit of going back to books that saved us…

    The habit of going back to books that saved us…

    Which book have you read more than any other?

    10/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    To be honest with all of you;

    Reading Books is something that has become a rare thing for me now…!

    The cycle of life and coming back from work has taken a big chunk of my time and whatever free time I do have in life,

    I try to spend it with loved ones and penning things and ideas that I like…!

    But nowhere that means I’ve lost the love for reading…!

    It can be reading a post by my fellow writers here on WordPress too,

    Because there are many who write here and they write so well that I often get inspired to write and explore a mindset that makes my writing sharp…!

    There is something that I have been chipping at for the past few weeks now and this is something that has been on the list for a long time and now that I secured it,

    Reading it was a dream up until I couldn’t find the book and now that I have found it, I can’t seem to get the time to go around it…!

    (Khair)

    The book in question

    Yes,

    I know it’s an old book but I did want a paperback version because all of the online ones make me switch from one app to another very easy…!

    So I bought this books and now it sits in my drawer until I switch my habits and actually kick off this habit of reading and getting another concept in my mind of how the lives were back then…!

    For an answer

    I’ve read the prophet(standalone book) and complete works of Khalil Gibran more than a healthy person should…!

    I’ve sought answers to things and behaviour of people and this is the only book that has stood by me and given me enough clarity and understanding to be the person I am today…!

    I hope you do read a little bit each day if you’re trying to add reading and growing into your life…!

    And I will try to get atleast a few pages in if not a whole chapter…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Two often intersecting lines called learning and growing;

    Two often intersecting lines called learning and growing;

    Are you a lifelong learner?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well and this Sunday is treating you good…!

    I agree to today’s prompt wholeheartedly that I am a lifelong learner because each day I learn something new…!

    Yesterday after talking to friend I found out how she got cheated into talking to a person who told her that he was single and thinking of her as her lifetime partner;

    But,

    When she explored deeper and found out the actual reality, she was heartbroken…!

    Turns out he lied to her about all of the things and that person was married and had two daughters and the span of his marriage was over six years…!

    She was absolutely devastated and crying her eyes out and she called me to talk her heart out and tell me how she found all of it out;

    This has been a learning point in my life because I never approach a woman without making clear who I am and what my intentions are;

    And,

    That clears things for me and for them too…!

    Coming back to the prompt;

    Yes I am a lifetime learner because of the type of work that I’m in after all of this writing things settles down…!

    I am a business owner who loves to work by his hands and it gives me chances to learn new things each day and make this life even more fulfilling and worth living…!

    And I do believe in the fact that once you stop learning you stop growing;

    So—

    To grow and be a better person and a more successful person it’s important that you never ever stop learning…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • A habit that helps me live a fulfilling life…!

    A habit that helps me live a fulfilling life…!

    What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?

    11/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    A singular habit that has improved my life a whole lot is writing and penning down my thoughts that I have…!

    Earlier I used to think and think a whole lot about things that I used to observe on the daily, but as soon as I started to pen down this thoughts which came to me,

    No matter how poorly defined they were,

    My mind automatically became a blank slate which would have thoughts which are filled to the brim with feelings and emotions that people can feel if they try to read it…!

    And due to this habit of penning down my thoughts and ideas I can get to places where I haven’t been in this body;

    For example—

    “If I were to imagine a scenario about how loneliness feels once a mother is all alone at home after her S/o has passed away and all of the kids have gone to start their own lives”

    Now even if I were to think about the scenario first you would think it would be impossible for me because I don’t have the same gender so I cannot feel what goes on in her mind,

    But,

    For that in my mind;

    I start to play myself in her role and when the role feels normal to me I put this character through hardship,

    “Like the loneliness and how the empty wall feels and how her mind plays fragments from the past on how she used to take care of her kids and how she used to sit with her husband and drink tea while it was pouring outside…!”

    Just imagining little details here and there gives me a general idea where it aches and how it is supposed ro feel and where is it supposed to feel…!

    And after getting a general idea,

    I begin writing it all…!

    This thinking critically and going in depth to understand how and why things happen has given me an edge and perspective into many lives and roles people play…!

    And due to this all of my life has come along with it,

    Like when I’m done writing I clean my room and make my bed and after doing that I leave for work….

    And that has given my life a fixed path on which it moves each day,

    Giving me a sense of direction and a purpose to live this life—

    To the fullest…!

    I hope you too have a habit that has an impact to improve your whole life…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Three chapters that shattered the veil of reality for Waakiye;

    Three chapters that shattered the veil of reality for Waakiye;

    What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There are three chapters that I’d call the hard years of my life and I’d like to share it with all of you and the reason behind it too…!

    First would be the year I was forced to quit all of my dreams to join our family business…!

    It was the year 2018 and I was preparing myself for the yearly exams of my B.com course from School of open learning…!

    And my father decided it was my time to quit funding my education and I was forced into work and the first two years I basically killed myself forcing to learn the work that I didn’t study or train for…!

    And thinking back about it I kept my head down and worked hard and I didn’t got paid for two whole years because they thought it was a better way to help me learn the skill…!

    Yes I was fed and I could go anywhere on my day off but,

    Imagine hiring your kid at work and not paying them and telling them to work without pay…!

    (Khair..)

    The second chapter that impacted my life a whole lot would be the 2020 lockdown…!

    It ruined all of ours mental peace and well being of which we still face repercussions of to this day;

    I know we do;

    Children glued to phones not eating or drinking without it and the things we did just to kill time…!

    Let’s not forget the everlasting effects of vaccines that made our lives miserable;

    I know people who suffered tremendously after the shot and they still feel things like night tremors, depression, and many other symptoms that they didn’t feel before but do now…!

    The third time would be when the tragedy happened right at home;

    It was when my father passed away…!

    It would be three years this September and we miss him in our hearts and minds each day…!

    All of the things happened in a single year;

    Terminal intestinal cancer and I was given less and less of a chance of survival;

    A year max and countless hospital visits that made our lives miserable…!

    The thing that broke me the most is something that he did the day before and I hope I don’t have to tell that to anyone but my eyes seem to tear up every time I remember him in that situation…!

    Yup,

    No one said this life was easy and neither was mine…!

    But I do hope when I see a stranger that their life is a bit easier than mine…!

    To loved ones who departed before us,

    One day we will meet again and share how it was for us to be endure and face the world all alone without their support…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Instances that deserve sequels…!

    Instances that deserve sequels…!

    What’s a book you think deserves a sequel?

    09/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know the world read a lot of books and each day there are many books that are added in various forms into this world..!

    It can be in the form of an e book or some another chapter added on Wattpad or it can be a physical form of a book that you yourself gave to the bookseller to sell by putting it on the shelves or paid a publication house to pick up all of the load…;

    All of us live a life that can be portrayed in the form of a story,

    And when we talk to someone who loves to write and can bring out your life into a form of a book or a short story;

    That piece of text has the power to become a life lesson or even somewhat of a help when the right person reads it and finds a way out…!

    And when such scenario happens, the goal of the writer and the person who endured it becomes complete…!

    There are many books that leave us on a cliffhanger and force us to imagine it all using our own mind and thought process which differ from person to person;

    For those books which leave us in more shadows that they began with I definitely think they deserve a sequel which answers questions that haven’t been answered in the last one,

    Just so that we readers can sleep peacefully at night…!

    No other reason 😂😂

    Then there are some books which change us after we go through them, and with each passage we learn and adapt;

    Sometimes there is shock,

    Sometimes there are tears,

    Almost all of the time we walk away changed when we witness love or anger or frustration of a character intensify when something happens to the character they love or adore or hate…!

    These books don’t deserve a sequel because they on their own are fulfilling and in a way help us to be better…!

    And the books whose author/authoress have passed away—

    They shouldn’t be touched ever…!

    If someone tries to make an edit or change the outcome or come up with a sequel that downplays the previous books;

    It doesn’t deserve a sequel ever…!

    These are some of the instances that I think deserve/not deserve a sequel…!

    Some books do deserve a sequel by Waakiye 09/07/2026

    Cheers 🥂
