  • Failed attempts at remembering my childhood…

    Failed attempts at remembering my childhood…

    Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

    Hi…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    (I hope Halloween went for all those who celebrated..)

    I’d love to live a specific age in my life once again, well tbh I’m not that old yet but there’s an age which I’d like to return once and live my life to the fullest…

    It would be my childhood i.e. the age when I was between 6 years to 12 years, because I see people remember their childhood,

    but I really have no clue as to what my childhood was or what were my quirks or things that I used to do…

    I’ve seen people remember their childhood with photos and memories, but it’s all a hazy flashbacks for me, every once in a while someone will ask how my childhood was and I’d remember bits and pieces of it nothing more ;(

    I know it might feel sad to hear, but when you actively fight for survival after being the sole earner, things tend to fall apart real soon…

    Every once in a while someone in my family will say do you remember that (A core memory from my childhood)..?

    I’d shake my head and agree with them even if they lie through their teeth, because I have little to no recollection of what happened back then…

    It’s sad and disappointing but that’s how it is for me, so I’d like to live my childhood once again…

    Cheers (To some dreams that might come true in the near future) 🥂

  • 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 🤍

  • The wishes that no one wishes

    You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    The genie and his blessings are onto us today, and let’s get the best of our abilities and think of something that helps us in the best way possible without harming the world(not necessarily causing harm but also helping it in the process…)

    The first wish would be something that hurts my deepest core; developing a machine or a process that brings up survival of newborns, I know this might not seem like much a big deal to all of you but there are a lot of things that go wrong when a child is born (the mind forgets to breathe, a lot more things go wrong and may a times the children are born with diseases that hinder their lives ahead if they successfully survive…

    (In short having a system or a process that helps bringing up infant survival the first 48-72 hours)

    The second wish that I have within this mind is that no one goes to bed hungry ever;

    The world is tricky in itself and the survival of an adult seems tricky, often in that many people who are not able to earn their keep they often go to sleep hungry including the children which in itself is such a bad thing that the parents are not able to afford for their kids much less themselves…

    (In short no one goes to bed hungry anymore including the adults and kids too)

    The third wish is something that I feel really selfish about asking;

    The final wish is to have a vibrant life, a life that is well lived and the people around us are caring and helping in ways that makes their and our lives better, by helping those in need and bringing up those who are not fortunate enough…

    In a hope that when it’s their time to depart and go to the spiritual being that they bow down to, they are able to tell them that they lived a fulfilling life and without any guilt, asking more for the people they are survived by and wishing that the absence of their presence hurts them less…

    (In short each person lives a life that is well lived according to them)

    With that being said the three wishes are up and it’s my time to take my leave from you and I will be here yet again tomorrow…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Essentials for a Fulfilling Life: Beyond Money

    Essentials for a Fulfilling Life: Beyond Money

    Daily writing prompt
    What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
    View all responses

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    If you don’t have an Indian origin,
    you must have never heard of this phrase,
    “Roti,kapda aur makaan..”
    this directly translated to having the basic necessities required to survive,
    “Beard, Clothing, and shelter…”

    A time like this where I’ve seen people survive with a single wish,
    to provide them with these three things,
    3 square meals a day,
    Some cloth to cover their bodies,
    and to have a roof over their heads…

    But sadly,
    many aren’t able to afford the basic necessities too,
    which makes each and every day a barely surviving one,
    much harder if there are dependents who need your aid and support…

    For me,
    the most important thing is money,
    many a people spend their lives chasing it,
    but aren’t able to take even a single rupee with themselves…

    If I have money,
    and can afford all of the necessities,
    and much more beyond it,
    what more is needed…?

    I mean you must have heard,
    that money isn’t the most important thing,
    but everything has its worth that can be purchased,
    a person’s closure,
    good food to eat,
    a night out to remember,
    taking shots at the bar,
    gifting the entire cooking staff with beer bottles,
    or having someone who spends night and goes away on their own in the morning,
    but,
    the thing is,
    you see someone earning money,
    and good amount of it,
    and automatically its assumed they are alone,
    all alone with the money they earn…

    Until it’s seen from a perspective,
    from the one earning it,
    and the absolute necessity it strives from,
    BECAUSE THOSE DAYS HAUNT WHEN EVEN THOSE THREE WEREN’T THERE…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Are You a Leader or Follower? Discover the Truth

    Are You a Leader or Follower? Discover the Truth

    Daily writing prompt
    Are you a leader or a follower?
    View all responses

    Hey…

    I hope each one of you reading this are doing well…

    This is the first time I disagree with the prompt,
    because there should be both the qualities in a person;

    They should be capable of leading as well,
    and even be quick to follow when they come across a concept that is unknown to them,
    or if you have less information on,

    because all of us are humans,
    we have limits,
    limits to our knowledge and capabilities,
    which makes us different from each other…

    There are times that I’ve led people on with these words,
    giving them vivid stories to read,
    also live in,
    but,
    I was led on by them too,
    when they provided me an insight into a concept that was foreign to me…

    For example,
    A person,
    Whom I cherish,
    told me about her life,
    How her mother separated from their family,
    brutally which led to her forming extreme issues,
    but,
    the story of the said person is coming out of it is so brave,
    that,
    it makes all of the other problems seem small…

    There’s no such thing as being a leader,
    without being a follower first,
    You followed someone footsteps,
    even if you are unaware that you did,
    IT HAPPENED,
    You unknowingly followed and aren’t aware,
    OR
    knowingly followed but choose not to admit,
    because you think it makes you a smaller person….
    BUT;
    the day you admit to this,
    is when the real growth happens…

    Cheers 🥂

  • Life Lessons from Personal Quotes

    Life Lessons from Personal Quotes

    Daily writing prompt
    Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
    View all responses

    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)

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    CAN’T CRASH OUT

    ✅CAN THUG MY WAY OUT OF THIS ONE, SO

    I WON’T CRASH OUT

    These two are the ones I often check out,
    there are more but those are some other ideas,
    prompting some other feelings…

    For the time being,
    you can read them,
    save them,
    make them your quotes too…

    Cheers 🥂

  • 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…
