  • Lessons from a Morning Walk in a Restless World…!

    What is the last thing you learned?

    Hey…

    .

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    .

    A pleasant good morning to everyone…!

    .

    As per my routine I’m on my morning walk and it’s 7:45 in the morning…!

    Something happened last night and I can’t put my finger on what it was but I was up at 6 and spent a good half hour on catching up on some news, the geopolitical situation around us,

    And it’s safe to assume it’s not looking good for any of us as there is a lot of tension and stresses that we are going through global and personal too…!

    …

    A thought roams in my mind that isn’t this war or war like situation a coverup for not releasing the 3pstein files which physically incriminates a lot;

    I Mean A whole Lot of our top officials and those in power and their cannibalistic behaviour or their predatory tendencies that harvest our young ones..!

    ..

    There is a lot that’s going currently and it’s also supported by something fake that is built up by Ai;

    So a plea from me to you is,

    Kindly check any sources that you refer to and if you’re forwarding a video that someone sent you,

    Confirm it’s genuineness from them and if it’s not credible enough;

    Don’t share it ahead and advise them the same…!

    ..

    Anything can be morphed and changed to your liking or what you want it to be;

    So beware before sharing anything that seems even a tad bit sketchy to you…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Last thing that I learnt

    This life that we all have been blessed within it are things that we learn all along…

    In my personal life, I learnt that there are some quirks that I have and some people have told me how they feel threatened by it…!

    When I am talking to someone I look into their eyes and many have told me that it feels like I am threatening them or trying to extract some information that exists within them just by making them feel scared…!

    .

    To which my reply always is,

    You don’t have anything to hide do you…?

    .

    And on hearing a objection worthy and a questionable “No, I don’t. ?!” as a response from them I draw my conclusions and continue to hear them;

    Because I’ve already got my answer from them…!

    In my business life,

    I learn something new each day because when you have employees who don’t care about the machines and infrastructure;

    There are new problems you run into everyday;

    And you have to tackle them in a new way each day—

    On top of that having a habit of noting each thing down in my notes app and the way we do things so it’s easy to see it later and jog our memory is something that I haven’t seen anywhere yet…!

    In my professional life

    This is something that might be very common with you all;

    There are lot of people who are just on this face of earth to make your life miserable…!

    They push work onto you that aren’t yours to begin with and then they take credit for it too;

    ..

    So it might be easier to just tell them no beforehand and give them the reason that you have in your mind of their wrongdoing and it would be better to make it public so that other people don’t fall in their trap again as you did…!

    ..

    You will save may lives going down that miserable path,

    Only if you have proofs for the fact that they are mooching your work and calling it your own; only then can you call them out otherwise it’s you all alone in that fight…!

    Other than that there are things that we learn each day by bettering ourselves each day…!

    Being true to your own self and taking action where things aren’t matching your ideology and what you planned when you started all of this…!

    It might be a hard path ahead but,

    Changing yourself today means that you can be better tomorrow and that tomorrow never comes until you make an effort today…!

    Life’s full circle in the above line…!

    So,

    What are you waiting for,

    Go do a thing that sparks that change and makes you better…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • When society tries to decide your timeline….!

    When society tries to decide your timeline….!

    What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s 7:57 in the morning as I’m beginning to write this, on my morning walk per usual…!

    And I can’t believe how getting this morning sunlight has helped me in so many ways;

    Earlier when I used to just sit in my bed and write prompts;

    it used to feel vague and I used to feel empty while writing them;

    But,

    This change that I’ve brought within me—

    Has turned my life into a better one…!

    I genuinely feel less depressed than I did before,

    Plus there is a new inflow of ideas that come to me as I sit on my terrace and take all the nature in..!

    I would advice you to do the same and if you don’t have a garden you can visit a park near you…!

    Even visiting it once maybe twice a week is something that can be beneficial for you…!

    But it’s upto you to go or not;

    and I might be a medium that can give you the final push to do it like someone did it for me…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Question I hate to be asked and the reason why

    I mean I think all of you have been asked this and still many of you are being asked each day by your parents or your relatives that live around you…!

    “When do you plan on getting married…?”

    Last month when I cut my birthday cake it was my family and a few loved ones who made this life worth living;

    Later I had a long conversation with myself that night…!

    The same day I got many congratulations from the people around me,

    And,

    Amongst them were a few who asked my age and after giving them a reply they asked me the million dollar question…!

    When do you plan on getting married…?

    I told them that there is still some time and I need to bring my business to a level that it needs to be and I still need to achieve a level of success in my personal life before I think about settling down…!

    And,

    Guess what—none of them were looking for answers like that,

    All they think about is ladening us with this responsibility and think everything will be sorted out later as we try to find ourselves,

    Maybe our space or place in this newfound relationship with a stranger…!

    When I asked them, why don’t they get their children married;

    I was absolutely shocked to hear their answer….

    They said that their kids don’t believe in marriage and they walk away as soon as they hear this conversation…!

    And there was this moment;

    Where I blurted from my mouth,

    Your own kids don’t believe in what you say and you think the world outside will fall for your words…!

    Then my mom came in to do some damage control as I walked out of the room;

    And I saw the look on their face,

    Distaste , disrespect and anger all mixed together…!

    Well after they were gone,

    I told my mom to ask me before inviting them ever again…!

    And she laughingly told me,

    Will she ever come back again after what you said…?

    And she was right,

    It’s been a month now and they haven’t come to our home but we do see them walking away from us without meeting our line of sight…!

    They still talk to her when I’m at work and I don’t think they have asked anyone again about marriage from that point on…!

    A sweet relief it must be for all those who avoided them just because of the cross questioning about marriage and its benefits…!

    Well,

    I don’t condemn the sanctity of marriage,

    It’s just that you shouldn’t rush into it just because someone says you should;

    And,

    Finding someone who loves you and stays with you no matter the state of your life; is more important than doing it just because you’re pushed into it by people who surround you…!

    A thought…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • The Discipline of Quiet Growth

    The Discipline of Quiet Growth

    How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s a beautiful day today as I am out for my morning walk and it’s 7:44 am in the morning as I’m writing this…!

    The weather is shifting from cool to a little bit of prickly heat as the sun rises Infront of me

    have a look…!

    The dot in the middle is sunlight reflected off my camera lens don’t worry…!😉

    Occasional breeze cuts through the heat as I walk on my terrace as per my usual routine…!

    Let me be clear—

    It’s not like I do any of this to gain any traction or satisfy myself with likes or clicks…!

    But it’s more about keeping at it and honeing the already existing talent and system that I’ve built myself around;

    An outcome of which can be something that I can use for my benefit later on in my life—

    But,

    For now it’s only keeping myself in the shadows and continue to work to better myself each day…!

    Well I cannot say coming back to the prompt now as we have already backed into a territory that I failed at earlier…

    (Khair…)

    Repeated failures that set all of us for success…!

    You must have heard that there is a stronger chance of succeeding once a person tries to better themselves each day…!

    I can give you two answers how this has turned out to be true for me and how it has changed me as a person both from inside and outside too…!

    First

    If you haven’t been connected with me long enough it would be new for you but,

    I came from a commerce background and I was pushed into an engineering field due to reasons that we shall discuss some other day—

    In which I failed daily,

    Because learning while working in that field was tiring,

    The change in the environment, the loss that we had to take on parts and equipments—

    Let’s now walk into the fact how many injuries were there—

    Often I fought with myself to call it quits but I didn’t loose hope and trusted the process more than myself and now things happen automatically;

    Like my mind on its own dwells into any problem that is thrown my way and starts to look for solutions each time a problem arrives at my workplace…!

    Something that was a dream that I had,

    first few months into this job;

    Well I wouldn’t call it a job because it’s our family business…!

    Second

    All of this writing,

    It didn’t happen just because I had a knack for it,

    Well something changed within the last few years of my high school and I decided on my own that I will write and initially there were a lot of problems,

    A lot of things came at me at a single time and with the fact that my dream was taken from me I had a lot of things on my mind to a point that I thought about ending it all…!

    Funny times now that I look back at them…!

    But,

    Amongst all of this I found comfort within these words as they were with me when I was all alone and had no one to talk to…!

    And these words were the only thing that pulled me out of my misery and if it weren’t for them—

    You,

    This whole world wouldn’t have Waakiye writing daily for you all;

    My dear readers…!

    So,

    Anyone and everyone that likes to read what I write,

    Even those who scan past it;

    You have become a part of my success story and you will remain within my books as long as I live and breathe on this G0d’s green earth…!

    And even last night,

    when the world felt heavy,

    I found myself writing again.

    Questioning. Wrestling. Trying to understand what cannot be explained.

    And this was the outcome of it…

    To a G0d who cannot save their wards…!

    Discipline is not just repetition in comfort. It is consistency through confusion.

    Cheers 🥂

  • Two phases in my life that were hard to let go…

    Two phases in my life that were hard to let go…

    Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to.

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It feels after a long time a prompt has come that I haven’t answered, and I’m all in for making this one a good read also to explore an avenue in my life that I suppressed…!

    A view into my life first, I’ve been looking for banquets each day after work and I’ve decided on two who are near the gurudwara which makes the travel easier and other programmes seamlessly connect with each other…!

    Well both of them are far from our home because we don’t have a banquet near our home…!

    So a lot of time has went into considering a good place and getting more out of our money…!

    Other than that,

    Work is going well,

    Because we are working each day and exploring new avenues and way to achieve the goals that we desire…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    A phase which was difficult to say goodbye to

    It isn’t easier to let go of things that made an impact in our lives isn’t it…?

    But,

    There are certain things that make them all worth your while and leave an everlasting impression on you…!

    Well losing someone who’s close to our hearts would be the first one…!

    A female dog birthed two kids and passed away right infront of our house;

    We took in her kids and within a span of few weeks both of them passed away as they were very little and weren’t able to get their mothers feed which was very important for their growth and their first few weeks here on earth…!

    We tried to get another female dog that also birthed a litter of puppies a few kilometres away but she rejected them and tried to bite them when we let them within her litter…

    On the offset that she might run away from her kids we brought them to our home and tried our best to save them—

    But fate had something else planned…!

    (Khair…)

    Another one would be parting away from someone who we thought were the love of our life…!

    Imagine you building your life around someone and they give up on you because their family planned something else or they found a more viable partner…?

    Something that breaks you from the very core and a mere sense of trust that you had breaks and shatters, making you lose yourself…!

    Well I hope it doesn’t happen with anyone else ever again…!

    I think,

    The things that happen around us shape us in a way that we were meant to have a grab of—

    I don’t mean passing away of a loved one is something that is good or builds character;

    But,

    It gives you a chance to see into the life by letting you see who is a real one and who was in just to leech off of you…!

    Who stands with you when time isn’t working with you…!

    And who all move away from you or face away when you get the short end of the stick…!

    Let’s not forget that all of us have to taste the sweet embrace of death once in our life and we won’t be here to witness what it feels like…!

    Keep those who are near to you near and tell them you love them…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Doing away with dual meaning and walking away from people…!

    Doing away with dual meaning and walking away from people…!

    If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Another already answered prompt forcing me to cut short my answer and get into one of my saved posts or getting into my notes app to find something worthy of your time…!

    Well an answer for the prompt would be something like this…!

    I wouldn’t necessarily ban a word because I’m not in a position to do that,

    But,

    what I’d like to happen is to do away with the dual meaning of words that happen after another generation picks it up…!

    For example the word

    Cooked,

    Meant that the “food was ready” but these days it means something else entirely…!

    These days in slang it means “to be in big trouble or exhausted”

    This duality has ruined a lot of words like

    Slay

    Glaze

    Bet

    Tea

    The list goes on and on…!

    I would do away with this duality because it’s hard for me to search for the meaning behind the slangs all the time…!

    One of my posts underneath ⏬

    You only see what you want!

    Don’t you…?

    No…

    Sometimes,

    They only show what they want to be seen as,
    and they’re so good at it,
    you come to know this later…!

    They aren’t even a speck of what they act,
    like their behaviour and their actions can be the polar opposite of what they are with someone else…

    Glad I came and distanced myself,
    or rather,
    I’m glad things came up and brought distance between us…

    Now that I sit back and see,
    I cannot agree more with those pointing fingers at you because of who you are,
    rather,
    what sort of a person you are…

    I’m glad and breathe in peace,
    That,
    There won’t be any fingers pointed at me,
    for the fact that I am still in contact with you…!

    (P.s.
    I might have been in contact with you once,
    but,
    all of our connections are long gone,

    And I have not a single speck of regret for that…!)

    Cheers 🥂

  • Planning my next few months…!

    Planning my next few months…!

    What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The last nights prompt took away a lot of things that I wanted to say today…!

    🙈

    But, after a long time a prompt has come in that I haven’t answered and this has given me some ideas…!

    And a break from me posting my unusual stuff that I write…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    Biggest challenge that I will face in the next six months

    It’s a bit crazy how the world moves, because up until beginning of the year 2026;

    I didn’t have any concrete plans, they were still to lay low, work hard in the shadows and come back out with more power in a year or two…!

    Making this year of struggles and winning some personal battles with myself and things that hold me back…!

    Until, the marriage of my sister was decided in the month of April…!

    For which everything has sprung into action and there are things happening that are done by me and taken into account to guide anyone who comes to me in the near future for help on how to manage or do a programme like this one…!

    There will be many things that will happen and they will change my viewpoint on now to view people, their behavior and also how those who will sit in our blind spots and fill the ears of our relatives and question how we were able to afford these things…!

    Everything will happen…!

    Including us missing the presence of our father as all of this happens…!🥲

    A huge lump that all of us carry within our hearts and can never ever seem to fill…!

    Otherwise it’s all good and future will be the witness to all that’s yet to come…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • A busy day and an advice to my younger self…!

    A busy day and an advice to my younger self…!

    What advice would you give to your teenage self?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I’m making this prompt at 8:32 at night,

    A nice change of pace this is…!

    There are a lot of things that I had to do today, one of them being looking for banquets for my sister’s wedding function…!

    And let me tell you this,

    The prices are outrageous, even if we have a programme for lunch they are quoting 3.5 to 4 lakhs for a programme that lasts 6 hours—

    10:30 am to 4:30 pm…!

    I’ve been dead tired spending my evening from these past few weeks searching one or two banquets each day…!

    Things that you have to do when you don’t have a father figure in your life…! 🤷

    Well it would have been a better support and something of a confidence booster but,

    There are something that you have to do on your own and life pushes you to do them too…!

    Coming back to the prompt

    An advice to my teenage self…!

    Spend as much time as you can with your parents and grandparents because they aren’t going to be in your life much longer…!

    And no matter how much the difference comes in within your thinking and theirs, you can nod your head and continue to work on things that you like, things that you love…!

    Even if this won’t give you money or earning in the short run it will help you get experience and a way to live this life better…!

    They won’t be available for all the time so just enjoy their company and the time that you can spend with them…!

    Maybe ask them about their childhood;

    How were they brought up and what they used to do…!

    You’ll for sure hear some tales that you can tell your kids someday and if you’re fortunate enough you can get your kids to hear them from them directly…!

    Well not in my case but it can be possible in yours…!

    Well don’t forget about telling your younger self about buying bitcoin in bulk and keeping it until 2026…!

    Remember the last advice and this is a last moment update(🙏🏻)

    Cheers 🥂

  • Eyes of children who never forget…!

    Eyes of children who never forget…!

    What bores you?

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I don’t know how to tell you this but being consistent on this app has made me come to terms with the fact that most of the prompts are recycled…!

    This prompt was answered by me back in 2025 somewhere in the month of February…!

    I really got bored of the thing that I have to recycle,

    Well not recycle but sell you the same prompt yet again which I think hurts my creative front because of a promise I made to myself before I began writing…!

    So instead of the prompt you get one of my write ups today too,

    But it will be disguised in the form of prompt to give all of this a push that it definitely needs…!!!

    Eyes of children who never forget…


    There linger some feelings,
    Some emotions unspoken of;


    Some words with-held,
    Not brought to these lips,
    To keep those dear to us near…

    Whom we considered our own,
    Once pure,
    Now they won’t stay with us,
    Those known faces became unknown…

    They call our eyes droopy,
    A face that seems off,
    Hasn’t witnessed a shread of happiness in years,
    Dark circles that grow day by day,
    And the light of the eyes that diminishes as each day pass…!

    The eyes,
    Those eyes never forget…

    Unkept hair,
    A bunch of facial hair that grows haphazardly;
    Those dead-fish eyes that scare everyone,
    And staring into them feels like a slipping slope;


    Once you fell into them—surrounded by darkness you feel,
    With no clue what hurt them or continues to,
    they walk away from you without a care in this world…

    A sense of relief is seen in them when they indulge in their vice,
    A line of pure white,
    A pill with a happy face,
    A tab or two,
    Or a bottle that’s waiting to be emptied;

    When the white of the eyes turn red,
    Bloodshot—
    Only then,
    In a sense of euphoria,
    A sliver of smile comes on the face…

    On rare occasions we wish,
    These vices weren’t the only thing that made us smile,
    Made us feel— More human,

    But;


    As the buzz wears off,
    We are back to our self,
    Our usual miserable selves…


    With those eyes,
    We stare,
    With a sense that tries to find a meaning in everything;

    A thought comes to our mind,
    Here we are—
    “Here we are still alive…”

    Those are the eyes of children who never forget…

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • A question about prompts and thoughts I get when I look up towards the sky…

    A question about prompts and thoughts I get when I look up towards the sky…

    Another already answered prompt telling me to cherry pick one of my draft posts…!

    I’d like to ask this to you,

    Do your opinions on things change within a single year or it takes a bigger/smaller span than that…?

    Real question of which I’d like a real answer…!

    When I look towards the sky…

    I’d like to talk to G0d,
    But the sky’s empty.

    I’d tell him how they fear his name during the day,
    When the sun’s up,
    Just above their heads,
    But as soon as it sets,
    They come out of their veils of fear and shyness..

    They skilfully remove their masks,
    And show their real faces,
    Those which can’t be faced without covering one’s eyes,
    Or having to spit something out of your mouth like when you taste something distasteful…

    These veils,
    Cover the horrors they show to their victims,
    By lacing someone’s drink,
    Or abduct them up as they’re returning home to their safe haven—

    But no,
    They had some other plans on their minds…

    As soon as they are done with the bodies alive or not that they caught,
    They throw them out,
    Dispose of them as waste and leave them to rot,
    Or die as a consequence of their actions…

    The very next morning,
    They pick their masks and wear them;


    To cover themselves up in a veil of deceit—

    A material that makes them immune to the normal eye,
    But—

    On seeing within,
    Deep within their cold, soulless eyes,
    As they sing praises of almighty’s name,
    Or go to place of worship above and beyond,
    Only to show their humble nature—

    A game of deceit they play with him;

    He who knows all about them,
    And what they do when they think they’re not being watched,
    But—

    As soon as the sun sets,
    The real version of them pops out…

    I’d talk to G0d,
    And tell him about his creations,
    But,
    When I look up,
    The sky is empty—

    The sky is all empty, because we buried his concept and anything that relates to him when we first decided to lift our veils…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Real life problems here in India…!?

    Real life problems here in India…!?

    Another day of already answered prompts telling me to go into my partially written saved posts…!

    For those who don’t believe here’s the proof that I can provide you…!

    A screenshot with all the prompts answered…!

    If you stay with me, you will be safe…!

    These are the exact words that left his mouth when I told him that I didn’t want to go with him…!

    Set aback I was, before I could say anything as his words once again filled the room…!

    “There are many who are ill mannered who will tease you, belittle you, call you names, maybe touch you inappropriately and what will you do then…?

    Who will you call out to…?

    Who will you look back to for help…?

    Will you cry out for help…?”

    Don’t you think it will be a terrifying experience…?

    And you won’t be able to move or even make a cry of help when something bad happens…!

    You don’t even call it out when you’re surrounded by people you call your own, because you think they’d think of you in the wrong way…!

    And you think you can go alone safely there without me…?

    His words cut deep,

    But they were true, I should have left early and made all of the necessary arrangements before I planned to travel there, even if it were to travel all alone…!

    I know this seems weird, A lot of dependence on a person, But what if I told you it was the absolute truth for me…?

    Last week another girl just like me was picked up by goons as she was going back home from school and she was assaulted and later left on the side of the road(literally to die);

    Until a passer-by recognized her and shouted to attract more people;

    The already distressed parents ran as they weren’t able to lodge a FIR,

    Denied were their basic rights just because the presiding officer assumed that she must have ran away from home due to some tension or stress from her parents…!

    They also brought them shame by telling them to their face and all those around them that,

    She must have ran away from them with her boyfriend and they must have planned to marry each other…!

    As soon as they reached along with other police officers after an already pre decided sum was received by them in a form of bribe and they were looking to pay a part of it to the family to settle the matter;

    They said girl was still alive and confessed the name of the people that were in that car because they belonged to the same town;

    And they loaded her up in their police van instead of an ambulance and drove off towards the hospital…!

    The parents of the girl stood there and after a while they shook themselves to consciousness and found what had happened…!

    They paddled their way to the hospital but their daughter was declared brought dead;

    The parents also died as soon as they heard the news…!

    As the hospital staff decided to change her to remove all of the blood soaked clothes,

    They began the investigation and found conclusive evidence that it was infact a sexual assault and this would;

    Should be a criminal activity;

    But those so called enforcers of justice came empty handed when she was laden into the police jeep and gave up on the drive towards the hospital,

    Or,

    She was deliberately killed on the way to not get a witness testimony…!

    The words still ringing in my mind,

    If you stay with me, you will be safe..!

    Would I ever be safe, until this mentality stays that I need someone to feel safe

    And when I am alone I will—

    I should feel unsafe…

    Only when there’s someone around me I’ll feel safe…!

    Isn’t this mentality broken enough to push women back into the place they worked so hard to crawl out of…!

    Cheers 🥂
