Well this question is a curveball, my favourite websites, the answer to this question has changed so much in such a short time that even I cannot fathom the change when I look back at it…
Earlier when there weren’t any streaming services and we had to watch movies/videos, only thing available was a shabby copy of it online, sometimes a torrent file other times a website whose name isn’t coming to mind right now but those were the good old days;
Nowadays they’re replaced by Netflix prime Hulu and whatnot, leeching money away from us slowly and steadily…
These days the media that we consume is replaced by shorts i.e. YouTube and Instagram (YT shorts and reels) being one of the most easily consumed short length media which effectively eats up all the time until you remember to look away from the screen and it’s 2 am in the morning and you have work at 9:30 😭…
Even I watch some anime there’s a website called Animekai it’s a bit tricky to operate a little slow but when you get a hang of it it feels like the world has brought it to you firsthand…
For writing this is the app that I prefer WordPress where I can freely write what I feel to my content and call them truly my own,
I’ve had my series of problems, content deleted without notification, a few apps shutdown so I had to scramble to get all of my stuff copied because they wouldn’t give me an official copy when needed, but still there’s no hatred in mind for no one…
And this place is what I call my own where I can truly be who and what I like to be…
For music I use
YTmusic(YouTube music for short),
A single subscription for my family allows me to use it and I use it to my full content because I love to listen to music no matter the borders that we are bound in by the people…
With that being said this post comes to an end,
I hope your Sunday goes well and the coming week is a bit soft on you…
What’s something you believe everyone should know.
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
Something that I believe that everyone should know is human nature and its repeated cycle…
If a person has wronged you or even something simple like making delays in giving payment for a job that has already been done(from a business pov)..
They will often repeat this behaviour again in the near future and until you continue to be in business with them, always something will come up, always something will happen;
One day it will be something the next day it will be something else until you take on a crude form and make them agree on your terms…
Same thing happened with me the day before, an old client with such behaviour took some material that our company prepared and it took him a whole month before he came back to pay the dues,
(Even in that he held back a few hundred just because it was a big deal)…
But making them understand that the payment was due for a whole month and the money received at that point would have been utilised in a way that it would have grown by some significant amount until yesterday
But all of these things go over their heads, like I spoke in a language unknown,
As they drove off and I returned with the payment there was a sense of relief that that there was one less persons to worry about brought me some ease…
In a few weeks another order will be placed and its payment will be delayed just like the usual but I do plan to make sure that I receive it on time if I hand it over in person and I can receive the payment in full without waiting,
But not everything goes to plan right…?
Until next time where we can learn something new about the cyclic nature of human and the way they make excuses to get out of situations by giving excuses…
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…
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 🥂

This is exactly how it feels when some prompt like this comes in… (Ai generated image…)
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…
Theres a reason I don’t go without a face mask outside my house, I might not be popular in any way but I have a lot of people that recognize me from way back, and to be honest being disregarded for being myself for the last two years, I chose to cut everyone but two, they’re my brothers and i shall till the end of time be available for them because they were too…
This is something that happened 8 years back and i still remember it crystal clear as it happened just yesterday…
There was a program that was supposed to take place in our high school and being one of those who was supposed to be a part of the management (student board), it was mine and this one girl’s duty to manage the smooth flow of the entire program without any complications;
Tbh I have been the type of person who loves to work alone, that way I can control all the variables and get the work done faster than having to spend time discussing and waiting for a half-baked response that would have no base or wouldn’t even have any concrete base…
Thats the type of person i was back then still am…
It was the schedule of this program we were told four weeks in advance that it was supposed to take place, and we were to work however we could within the school provided budget, so there were these 3 weekends that were in between the date we were told it was supposed to take place thinking we had enough time i took it to myself to budget, thinking of equipment that we’d require and had to acquire and all the technical things…
During our lunch break a girl from the board visited me being from the other stream, on enquiring about what was needed she told me to come to the cafeteria area during the last period if it was free, coincidentally it was free as the teacher that we had was on leave during that time;
On finding her waiting, the cute face, cat eyed glasses, grey and white school dress, and simplistic watch on her left hand in which she held an apple which she was gnawing on every other minute;
Being the socially awkward person I was back then, I just came up to her and put my bag down in front of her, we exchanged greetings and i asked “if the was something that she needed from the cafeteria?”
On hearing my offer,she thought to herself a bottle of apple ocean would be nice…! I said okay and got up and went to the stall that had what we needed…
As i returned with two coffees and a bottle of electrolyte water, she was surprised of sorts, no-one brought her things she said on a whim, but she did thank me for it…
As we began discussing the plan, how and what we would need for the smooth flow of the plan, before any other thing could leave her mouth, I handed her the document requiring all of the stuff needed, all the people that we needed to contact and along with it their contact details, and minimum budget required for all of the things and with them the alternatives if the one mentioned weren’t available;
Reading the document of 10 pages and in awe of me she asked “if i knew this was supposed to take place weeks before because all of us were told yesterday only…?
Yeah i told her slyly as i already knew something like this was supposed to happen around this time watching it from last 3 years and all of our seniors butchered it ruthlessly…
So I prepared it weeks before and finalized it yesterday, … There was silence for a few minutes as she scanned the document, and in awe she looked at me the moments after as I had cracked open my cold coffee and began sipping it;
How…? How do you already have things ready on which we have to spend the next week and a half…? We have all that we want and need, for the entirety of the plan, all that remains is going to the places, negotiating and buying the things that are needed, which could be done over this weekend…!!!
How did you manage all of this that too all on your own…?
That’s how it has been from the past 1.5 years, I’ve given my very best and you know how smooth the fest has taken place the last year too…
Before coming to you, I submitted a copy to the president of the student board and the teacher in charge too…
Is there something else that you needed…?
NO, I mean yeah, I thought we’d spent time jotting down things needed and spend actual time buying and arranging all of the items and such…
That is something that can be left on the teachers and upper management, the final negotiation and things are to be approved by them only..!
I pushed the other coffee that I bought towards her and as she opened it her face sulking as she took a sip out of it…
Having zero clue what has happened and what was supposed to happen, as the last bell rang, marking the day to be over…
I started to pack my things, As I told her, “there’s an afternoon class that I am supposed to take, and if i didn’t leave within 10 minutes I’d be late to that…”
Having no clue what has happened, she also packed her bag and started to stand up and walk towards the gate with me…
And on reaching outside the gate, my path went to the left and Her’s to the right,
In a low voice she hummed, “If you wouldn’t have done all of that we could spend the weekend discussing and planning all of it over the weekend at each other’s place or some cafe…”
HUH?, I asked, is there something that you’d like to add or remove from the list, maybe we can discuss it over call or something…?
Her mind running haywire that her plans were spoiled, She ignored my last line.. (My mind thinking she was trying to leech off my work just by being seen with me working on something…)
As we parted ways, She began walking down her and I went down mine, She met one of her friends and I met one of mine, Looking back at each other our eyes met…
NEVER TO MEET AGAIN..
(How stupid it was of me…)
Cheers🥂 (To the fool I was back then…)

This is exactly how I walked my way back home that day and whenever I remember how much I fumbled back then….
