Choosing not to become bitter…

What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?
04/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

I wish all of you a very happy janmashtami…!

May Kanha ji remove all sorrows from your life and bless you and your family with happiness and wealth…!

I think I’ve become someone who hasn’t been affected by how life treated me…!

Loss of loved ones, people giving up on me, relationships falling off and many other disappointments which would force me to become cynical and shut myself off forever…!

But,

None of that happened…!

On the contrary,

All of those became a learning lesson…!

I embraced those who departed this world one last time and etched them into memory,

Spending nights remembering the happy moments and shedding tears once I remember the last embrace and continue living my life the next day like it never happened,

The same thing to repeat a few months later…!

I let people go without pretending that I never loved them…!

It was love from day one and sacrifice on my part whenever I loved someone and put my faith in them…!

And,

If after years of being together they decided to walk away from me,

It was love from my side always,

Because it was their choice to stay with me and once they were over, well the feeling or the purpose of my friendship or relationship was over their presence was not found with me…!

And,

Never it was my right to berate them or speak ill of them because they left me…!

Because i will never be in such a place to speak ill about anyone…!

There are a lot more things that happened but, if I tell them they will make you feel worried, anxious and have pity on me with anger on the other person—

But,

It’s not something I ever want…

Life is precious including each moment spent in it,

And if it’s spent with someone who you don’t like or someone you don’t want to be with—

Its purpose is ruined…!

Khair

I hope those who aren’t with me that live a life that is blessed with the presence of people who they love and are far better than than me…!

Song of the day is here

Second love

Nothing like the first love…!

But the love that we give to someone after being with someone who we deeply loved…!

The song talks about how a flower blooms on a land that was left barren—

How conversation sparks about first love and remembering the things that they used to do with them;

Cherishing the moment and running away from them too…!

I’d say Jassa Dhillon would be the present day Amar Singh Chamkila…!

Second love by jassa Dhillon

Cheers 🥂

Questioning traditions and talking about love that isn’t reciprocated…!

What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?
03/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It’s one of those late night post as I had some paperwork that I had to fill and get it to the bank before leaving for work…!

So I ended my walk took some rest and formulated some ideas and saved them here and left to accomplish the task in hand…!

Before I could think about completing this prompt I was at work ready to work on the piece that I put in the chuck last night…!

And it was late in the evening when I got an idea to make this prompt…!

And,

How it could be different from the rest and how differently I live my life if compared to the rest…!

Doing things differently from the world…!

I think the way I approach love, people who are/were attached to me, how relationships play out and how emotions make us choose things that might not be good in the short run which might make us regret our decisions later on…!

I believe that loving someone doesn’t give us the right to claim them…!

Not every time you end up with the people who are your crush and even if they do it might not be that they love you back…!

And,

That doesn’t give you any right to claim them…!

The above street cat let me pet him once and then all I got was angry hisses and sharp claws aimed my way…!

Yes

You can love them, live for them and exist with their memories in your mind forever;

But,

Nowhere does it say that they are yours to choose and keep in hiding from the world…!

Questioning authority and inherited beliefs to get the reason behind them…!

I was told just like the rest of us to believe in what our parents got from their parents and they got them from our forefathers…!

But,

I do think many before me tried to question and were punished, suppressed or even threatened with strict discipline—

To the point they never had enough I don’t want to say courage but lack of the word forces me to use it…!

Even,

This day when I was under my parents I had to agree to what they believed in until I wasn’t a little kid anymore and I was free to choose and practice what I like,

And I chose none…!

Well not nobody;

But bowing in an essence to the truth and the the power that blew into me the first breath which continues to this day…!

I wish some of this was inherited but really none was…!

It was something that happened after I pushed myself,

Angered more than a few people when I chose not to bow down infront of the elders and these beautiful sculpted statues…!

Did it cost me…?

Yes it did,

And,

I paid a price with my conscience and with that price eve thing became evident,

How respect was mutual and none of it came to you just because you were a few years older…!

I understood it earlier that I cannot be myself if I ever gave into the sense of belonging to a group or a community, instead of being an individual self…!

Too long to go over,

In Crux I talked about how I questioned things and gave respect where it was due and only if I considered the person on the receiving end to be worthy of it…!

Do you guys even listen to the song of the day I post here…?

Or should I stop…?

Khair

Until I don’t feel like giving upon it I won’t…!

Another one from the dream journey…!

Naina morey taras gaye by ustaad shoukat manzoor ali khan ji…!

Whenever this song or blessing reaches my ears I cannot get enough of it and I play it on repeat atleast twice maybe thrice…!

There is something in his voice that brings me peace and drops me back into this sense of despair and longing…!

🥲🥲🥲

Listen if you can…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

Five apps around which I live my life…!
What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone?
02/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It feels like a good morning to me, I woke up around 7:30 brushed my teeth, went out for a walk, returned home, had my granola with milk and now I’m writing this prompt…!

I just found out that being lactose intolerant is a skill issue…!

No lies,

It says that you should just micro dose your milk;

And build resilience to it…!

(In no way I have the degree or a respective education that says I can confidently say that it will help…! Do your own research before proceeding ahead….!)

Coming back to the prompt

Five favorite apps on my phone…!

This in no way is in order that reflects my favourite-ness…!
- Notes/Journal
Yes, even before anything was announced or made public or posted here on my website…!

Everting started and ended in my notes app…!

First it was in my old Oneplus 9 pro later it was the Oneplus 12 until I bought an iPhone where all of the data moved permanently…!

Because moving it across devices was getting harder and more time consuming for me…!
- Jetpack
Yup,

This app takes a space and a chunk of my time to explore and find things,

But,

Now that it has become some time going through this app, it feels easy to transverse and save things…!
- Instagram
Yup, just like you, even I have an addiction with the insta app even though I have a timer on it but those additional 15 minutes add up very quickly…!

It has become a source of my inspiration and motivation too which brings me ideas from across the world to my eyes and mind…!
- Threads
Yes,

An app where I post or try to post daily and these daily prompt end up there on one account…!

The other one gets these random thoughts and ideas that spring in my mind but aren’t that big for an entire post…!
- Instants
This would be the last one where I take photos each day which stay on the app for 24 hours and after that they are gone…!

Well not gone but only I can see them, some of them are with a purpose, some are just random snaps with reasons locked in my mind…!

The above were the top five apps I use(in no order…)

I almost forgot about the strong contender—

YouTube…!

Which eats away almost 4 hours of my day…!

Song of the day is here….!

Luna Sung by Diljit Dosanjh

The song is one of those which comes from the album which has a lot of bangers like Hoops and many others…!

But,

The reason I pick this one is because it was written by Arjan Dhillon…!

And,

Even though the audio masks the voice the song has a vibe that people don’t understand…!

Finding a long lost friend on a random outing…!

What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?
01/09/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Let’s make this a short one without ranting about my day today…!

The best thing that I found on the streets were the hug of a friend I knew from the school times…!

I was walking to a shop in old Delhi where I buy my silver from…!

So,

On the way to the shop I encountered a friend of mine who used to study with me in high school and I came across him,

On a random Monday as I was out to make a business purchase…!

And,

To be honest,

I cried in his arms,

As I opened up to him,

How there was less and less people to talk about things and instances haunting me in life….!

So,

I hugged and talked to him about life,

How my dad died and a good friend of mine had moved abroad to look for better opportunities,

And I was all alone here…!

Khair

I found,

A person who cared for me,

Back then…!

And I talk to him once a week and if I get a chance I see him twice, maybe thrice a week…!

Where we talk about life,

About business and things that go on in our lives on the daily…!

It wasn’t something I could purchase or a piece of object that I found,

But,

It was a loved one who really cared about me and I did about him…!

I hope you really have someone like this in your life…!

Do you guys even listen to the song I post here…?

Do let me know the song of the day that you feel resonates with you the most…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

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 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

Capturing life at right moments…!

Share a hobby you’ve picked up recently — what got you into it?
29/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It was a good day today because I was able to focus at work and hack away a good chunk of it,

And I hope tomorrow is a tad bit better and I complete a major chunk tomorrow too…!

This evening was a nice one because I got to talk with a friend of mine who went out to New Zealand for work—

And he’s perusing masters course in Auckland…!

He’s in desperate need of work and I’m trying my level best to find some for him by hitting up my people and relatives who live near him…!

I hope he finds some work so that he can manage to work and study at the same time…!

Cross my heart

Coming back to the prompt

A hobby that I’ve picked up would be taking photos…! 📷

Well,

It’s nothing special to be honest right now,

But,

It’s something that I’m doing…!

And it’s not because I have to prove something to someone,

But,

It’s more of keeping a memory of what I did…!

Well,

These prompts are coming and going,

And I’m trying my level best to bring a perspective, well my perspective to all of you and if that helps even a single person,

My purpose has already been fulfilled…!

Well,

The these photos currently only have a home in my instants app on my phone,

Available for 24 hours only;

But,

They are being used each day for the image of the prompts or any other piece of texts I write here each day…!

I’d like to give you an example…!

The last image was snapped this morning…!

I’ll upload another one of the images tomorrow…!

Until then

Song of the day is here

Confess by Jerry…!

This song exactly portrays what it feels like to confess to a significant other and they don’t do what they usually do like breaking people hearts,

But,

They handle your feelings and your love with care even though they have the world chasing them…!

A beautiful song with an even more beautiful meaning and Jerry’s voice with prodgk’s music is a dangerous combination…!

Confess by one and only Jerry

Goodnight to everyone and happy Sunday…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

Rakhi celebrations and coincidences that shocked me…!

What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?
28/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

Another one of those late nights upload,

Because of Rakhi celebrations in the morning leeching into the afternoon,

And we had some job that was pending that we completed today…!

After returning home around 18:00 in the evening, I picked up a delivery of a Raksha Bandhan gift for a friend of mine who went to New Zealand and his family was all alone here…!

I reached south extension around 19:28 and talked all about life and how they are doing,

Some discussions about life, about how this government is ruining this country and how biased has people become along with their thoughts and ideas…!

After much talking I left around 20:30 reached home around 21:00–

Even I was shocked because nothing like this has happened ever before…!

Like I reached home from south ex to my place of residence within a span of 30 minutes…!

Khair

Coming back to the prompt

Weirdest coincidence that happened to me

Well,

I live a relatively simple life and nothing much happens that is spontaneous or seems weird to me,

But there are instances that shock me,

Like how predictable life has become…!

They range from simple things like me guessing on the first try what is made for lunch or dinner;

But not breakfast because my senses don’t work so early in the morning…!

To already predicting what will happen because I saw exact instances like that happen somewhere in my dream…!

From a relative visiting just like it happened in a dream,

To,

Witnessing a death in the exact moment like I saw in my dream…!

Yes exactly what I typed above…!

Let’s wrap this up before the clock hits 12…!

Song of the day is here

Lataa mangeshkar ji is here…!

One of the songs that brings us line souls comfort…!

For all of you to witness and bless your eyes and souls

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍

Unread books that demand our attention and Rakhi celebrations…

What’s a book you never finished but still think about?
27/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

The day is almost over,

It started later because I took my sister to apply mehandi on her hands…!

Because tomorrow is Rakhsha Bandhan…!

This was the design that she had in her mind even before she visited…!

She chose this one from 50 designs that she took screenshots of from Instagram and many other sources that she won’t reveal to me…!

There are many books that I have in my nightstand,

In my almirah,

In my storeroom,

And one in my bag…!

The books range from religious scriptures like the Quran,

To,

Mein kampf…!

And,

Most of them are on my reading list…!

Some of them are in the paperback form,

Some are in EPUB form,

Some are sitting as just as titles in my notes app…!

But,

All of them are waiting to be read,

Explored,

And perceived from perspective different which gives birth to ideas far beyond life…!

Look at the view this evening…!

Song of the night is here

Ranjish hee sahi…!

All you need is headphones or surround sound earphones;

Maybe a glass half full with some spirit and yourself in the arms of a loved one…!

Mehdi Hassan feels like ointment on your wound and something that brings you peace…!

Do go through this if you can…!

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍🤍

Escaping to middle earth for vacation…!

Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in?
26/08/2026@Waakiye

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…!

This day is a special one to be honest because we have Onam and Milad Un-Nabi coinciding with each other on the same day…!

So,

Happy Onam to the people who celebrate Onam and I know the flower decorations are more beautiful than what seems to the naked eyes…!

And no matter if you make or order Onam Sadya, I hope everyone enjoys it with you…!

The same with Milad Un-Nabi or Mawlid

The birth of the Prophet Mohammad

I know there will be public processions and religious gatherings where verses from The Quran will be recited…!

Meals will be prepared and donated to those who are needy and poetry will be recited in the name of the god…!

I hope,

God accepts and gives you more in abundance when you help those in need…!

Coming back to the prompt…!

Vacation in a fictional world…!

It would probably the middle earth from the lord of the rings…!

Not where I have to fight orcs and dragons while being on my tippy toes,

But,

The shire would be a start…!

Imagine waking up in a hobbit house and having breakfast, walking through hills and luscious greens and having nothing urgent to do or any distractions…!

It would simply mean peace,

Reading books, having conversations and talking to people about how they reached here and how their lives are…!

It would be impossible for me to leave even after spending a week there..

The areas like Gondor, Rivendell are also a part of the lotr series where I would love to explore and fall into love with…!

Gondor would throw me into the question,

Who was here before…?

Who did they lose to…?

Who were the survivors…?

What was built here before…?

I would leave with more questions than answers and it would be perfectly fine…!

Rivendell would be another one of my choices because it’s a place full of knowledge,

Centuries of history, languages spoken, songs or sonnets, stories of the past, maps identifying the fallen kingdoms whose existence exists only in those pages…!

Waiting to be explored by someone…!

I would gnaw off the mind of someone who would answer one of these questions and I wouldn’t leave until I was beaten out of the place…!

With my increasingly specific questions to gain as much knowledge as I can…!

🥲

(Khair)

Fictional world is fictional for a reason,

Yet,

I hope all of us have a space where we can escape if push comes to shove…!

Song of the day is here

Away by Cheema Y

There is a reason that we want away from the world or the silence or a way out of from all these distractions…

Cheema Y accurately described how there is a lot going on and how no one is innocent and there are a lot that happens when you return to a place where you are wanted(by law due to his popularity…)

The song is a plea to people on how day ones flip and how everything seems like it’s out to get him and use him…!

Away by Cheema Y

Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
