  • 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) 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

    Hey

    I hope you all are doing well…!

    There are a few sentences that i live by,
    they aren’t necessarily quotes,
    but they’re self-drawn rules that I live by,
    Well,
    I think each and every one of us should have some,
    rules or something that helps you set,
    what is right or wrong,
    in a situation…

    Quotes are those who are written by a writer and such,
    and when you are one in the making,
    what’s better than looking at something that you wrote,
    to keep yourself in check,
    during times that you thought would be the end of you…

    The said quote(s)…

    1)

    THE FALL TAUGHT ME TO GET UP AND MOVE FORWARD,

    IT DIDN’T TELL ME TO STOP AND SIT DOWN,

    IT TOLD ME THE REASON FOR THE FALL,

    AND I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING,

    NOR I’M STOPPING,

    DIDN’T STOP YESTERDAY,

    WILL NOT STOP TODAY,

    WONT STOP TOMORROW,

    BECAUSE,

    I DIDN’T STOP LEARNING…

    ★Didn’t stop learning★

    2)

  • 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 🥂

  • 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 🥂

    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…

  • An experience

    A fortunate night

    What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

    There are many things that have helped me, in a way to shape the being that I am today…

    I’ve had my trust betrayed by those whom I considered mine, actually too close to me and when I caught them in the act, they brushed it off like there wasn’t something to begin with, even after all of the chaos, they came back to me and told me that what they said was in the heat of the moment and they didn’t mean it..

    But I told them anger brought out what they really thought about me and my place in their life…

    So slowly I drifted away from their lives…

    Occasionally I see them from afar,

    And when our eyes meet,

    There’s a sense of consideration that I see in them,

    But,

    That phase has long gone so we cross our paths like we are strangers while still acknowledging our past,

    And,

    We walk on our own paths,

    Away from each other…

    (Wishing nothing…!)

    Cheers 🥂

  • HIS WORLD THROUGH HER LIPS…

    Even if there’s no one,
    you’ll always have yourself,
    There’s always someone who will look at you and admire you,
    the type of person you are,
    the choices you make,
    even if they feel they are not beneficial at present,
    they shall be in the near future,
    I know that,
    but,
    the world needs to know that too…

    I know you walk alone on paths,
    because you still remember,
    how hard it was to bring yourself up,
    when nothing was going right,
    when you lost the entire world,
    that Wednesday,
    early morning,
    when the entire world was dead asleep,
    you know you lost yourself,
    you lost something that mattered to you,
    and was there someone who had your back,
    was there someone who patted your back,
    was there someone who took you in their embrace…?

    That’s why…

    There isn’t going to be anyone,
    and therefore, there shall be a place for no-one…

    (That’s really cruel to anyone who tries to come near you with the right intentions…)

    But,
    who will…?

    Who will indeed..!

  • Someone else for a day…?

    If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

    This life has been a downhill slope,

    Oftentimes I wanted to leave it for the best,

    But,

    I was provided this one for a reason that I’m unknown to, till this point of time…

    Maybe I was meant to work hard, in the shadows and provide for those who are around me and try to live within all of those moments that are left within these days…

    That’s what I have been doing since…

    And I hope that I can do it till my last breath…

    The question of being someone else is intriguing, there’s a lot that’s left to explore and providing a perspective would give possible answers to many such questions…

    But,

    Wouldn’t that raise your standards and make your expectations high from what they were supposed to be, how others act/react…

    Planting a seed of thought that makes you think the way you’re treated or the way they act towards your compassion, making you; forcing you to make less efforts because you might think they aren’t paid back in equivalence…

    To answer the question,

    If I could be someone else,

    “No“

    I’d rather spend the day with those who mean more to me than this life,

    I.e. those who make this life worth living, the efforts worth continuing much further…

    Cheers 🥂

    (That’s for thought…)

  • Just one…?

    What advice would you give to your teenage self?

    Oh soo many,

    Try to get better at studies and enjoy school life too…

    Try to spend more time with the family because later in life you wouldn’t…

    Invest more time in people who care equally about you…

    Try to be more ruthless when making decisions about your life but think about them before taking actions because your words might be engraved in someone’s heart and they will remind you what and how you broke them with your decisions…

    When thinking about starting some connection with someone like making a Friend try to go with them to places and watch how they treat other people,{if they’re aggressive or calm and composed and how they treat people((like waiters and common staff…))}

    Don’t be worried about things in the long run just keep your head down and work with dedication whatever path you choose you will flourish in it…

    There will be a time when things will feel like they are coming for you they’ll feel and sound like the end of you(your existence) but they will pass and you will thrive once again…

    Yet again..

    Cheers 🥂
