    Ek aisi jagah jo dharm nahi dekhti…!

    निकल रहा था मैं उस जगह के आगे से,
    आते-जाते दिखे सड़क पर वह,
    मिले वहाँ भीड़,
    जिस पल आप उसके आगे से निकले;

    कुछ लोग आए वहा चोरी के लिए,
    तो कुछ लोग आए जो आदी उसके,
    घर बर्बाद कर दिए उस चीज़ ने कईओं के,
    तो कई अमीर-तरीन लोग दिखे आपको वहा;

    कैसी बात है,
    मिले वहा आपको कई मेरे जैसे लेखक भी,
    औरतें भी,
    इंसान जो अभी-अभी १८ के हुए,
    वह भी जिनकी टाँगें कब्र में,
    कई मिले आपको बाहर खड़े,
    तलाश में अपने जैसे लोगों की;

    ना दिखी किसी को कोई ज़ात,
    ना दिखी किसी इंसान ने उसके सिर पर सफेद टोपी,
    या सिर पर कोई पगड़ी,
    ना देखे कोई साफ़ा लपेटा हुआ,
    और ना देखे कोई अगर एक बाल भी नहीं उसके सिर पर;

    सब जेबों में से पैसे निकाले,
    कई अपना फ़ोन आगे कर,
    क्यू-आर कोड की डिमांड करे,
    लड़ाई भी हो जाये जब पैसे कम पड़े,
    गाली-गलोच भी,
    लात-घूसे भी;

    अंदाज़ा हुआ के नहीं…?

    कुछ देर बाद,
    ये देखने के बाद के भीड़ छँट गई है,
    वह दुकान का शटर उठा ले,
    और फिर वह हताश भीड़ वापस लौट आए;

    कई उतरें महँगी गाड़ियों में से,
    कई स्कूटर पर से,
    कई पैदल आए,
    आता हर कोई ये बात पक्की…

    एक सूखा-कमज़ोर,
    तीली जैसा आदमी भी आए,
    और सेठ भी,
    लदी जिनकी उँगलियाँ सोने और हीरे से,
    चेन भारी गले मैं लिश्कती;

    जाऊ मैं भी,
    और आप भी,
    तरीके से इस्तेमाल करे तो ठीक है,
    और वह भी जो नाजायज़ फ़ायदा उठाए,
    और तबीयत ख़राब कर बैठे,
    नियत जो बिगड़ी उनकी;

    अब तो पहचान गए होंगे आप लोग-
    के अभी भी नहीं…?

    अगर नहीं,
    तो आपको बाहर निकालकर अपने आस-पास रहने वाले लोगों को देखना चाहिए;

    मिल जाएगी आपको आसानी से दुकान,
    उसके साथ चिप्स-कोल्ड ड्रिंक भी रखता वह,
    सिगरेट भी,
    चखना भी;

    जी हाँ,
    लगता है अब समझ आ गया हा आपको——



    English translations

    A place that doesn’t see any religious beliefs

    “I was passing by that place,
    Saw them on the roads, coming and going,
    Found a crowd gathered there,
    Whenever you walk past it;

    Some came there to steal,
    Some came because they were addicted to it,
    That thing destroyed many homes,
    Yet you would also see the wealthiest people there;

    Strange, isn’t it?
    You would find many writers like me there too,
    Women as well,
    People who had just turned eighteen,
    And those whose legs were already in the grave;
    Many stood outside,
    Searching for people like themselves;

    No one saw anyone’s caste there,
    No one cared for the white cap upon a head,
    Or a turban resting above it,
    No wrapped saafa was noticed,
    Nor whether a man had even a single hair left on his head;

    Everyone pulled money from their pockets,
    Many stretched their hand with their phone forward,
    Demanding the QR code;

    Fights would break out when money fell short,
    Abuses exchanged,
    Kicks and punches thrown;

    Still haven’t guessed it…?

    After some time,
    Once he saw the crowd had dispersed,
    The shopkeeper would lift the shutter again,
    And that desperate crowd would return once more;

    Some stepped out of expensive cars,
    Some arrived on scooters,
    Some came walking,
    But one thing was certain,
    everyone came;

    A frail, dried-up man,
    Thin as a matchstick, would come too,
    And so would the wealthy Seths,
    Their fingers loaded with gold and diamonds,
    Heavy chains glittering around their necks;

    I go there too,
    And I hope you’ve went there too,
    If used carefully, it is fine,
    But there are also those who misuse it,
    Ruining their health,
    Their intentions already corrupted;

    By now, you must have recognized it—
    Or still not…?

    If not,
    Then perhaps you should step outside
    And observe the people around you;

    You’ll easily find the shop,
    The one that also keeps chips and cold drinks beside it,
    Cigarettes too,
    And snacks to go along with them;

    Yes…
    Seems like now you finally understand…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Thanks mom

    How do I express,
    show the love I hold for you in my heart…!

    After Papa,
    it was you who took care of both of us,
    and we both tried—
    tried our best so that you would never feel the emptiness of Papa leaving this world…!

    There were many moments,
    moments that tested us,
    that tried to pull us down,
    but—
    we all stood strong…!

    I’m grateful we had each other,
    and even today,
    I often remember Papa too,
    the man from whom we came,
    but I still cannot understand, Maa,
    how you managed to keep living through it all…!

    I’m thankful for one thing, Maa—
    that you never left us,
    never abandoned us—
    instead, you kept us close,
    and never gave up against anyone;
    you kept fighting till today,
    for a better life,
    for your two children…!

    Were there not moments
    when you could have surrendered?
    When you could have said,
    “I can no longer bear the burden of us,”
    and left to live your own life…
    but you stayed.

    First, you gathered yourself,
    and then you gathered both of us too.

    Amma,
    your courage deserves to be honored,
    and we consider ourselves fortunate
    that we came from you;
    that you showed us this life,
    made us stronger,
    and stood before us like a shield
    before anything bad could reach us…!

    Amma,
    thank you for coming into this world as my mother,
    and for never stopping me—
    for always feeling happy after reading something I wrote,
    and always telling me to keep moving forward…!

    Sometimes giving me ideas to write something beautiful,
    and sometimes scolding my negative mindset,
    and every single time saying,
    “No matter what the story is,
    it should always end on a happy note…!”
    😅😅😅

    Thank you, Amma,
    for teaching me
    to look at this life,
    this little life,
    from a completely different perspective…!

    Thank you 🙏🏻
    Amma…!

  • Impersonating a divine being: Public figures and their reality that strays far from the truth…!

    Impersonating a divine being: Public figures and their reality that strays far from the truth…!

    What public figure do you disagree with the most?

    10/05/2026@Waakiye

    Hey..

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    After fighting fever for the past few days it feels like I am close to passing away…!

    Earlier whenever I used to get sick it would usually last a single day and the medicines would work wonders and I’d be on my routine the next day…!

    But,

    this fever feels like it has taken its place in my bones as they hurt to even move and G0d knows how am I writing this one,

    As soon as I straight my back my ribs start to hurt and when I lay down my back starts to hurt…!

    A problem that never occurred before,
    this too shall pass…!

    Isn’t that the hope we all have with life and all of its aspects….?


    Coming back to the prompt…!

    Public figure I disagree with the most…!

    Well,
    if you believe that any of the public figures are there for your or any common people benefit,
    let me tell you how wrong you are…!

    They have their own lives and their own goals,
    which are far too different than what you and I have…!

    Their dreams and aspirations have been clouded by greed and many of them are deeply rooted to earn more and more of publics money,
    No matter what happens to the country or the people living in it…!


    Their dreams have become how to maximise profits and this type of thinking is omnipresent no matter how young or old they are…!

    Milking public’s trust and their feeling to the goals that align with their own interests is something that even you would do once you reach their place…!

    if you are capable enough to understand that…!


    Even though I made a point that they align their processes to achieve their personal goals,

    there are some who are less corrupt than others and those are the people who appear good to us, but,
    their actions are streamlined to achieve public trust which helps them later…!

    A deep rooted planning that makes them different but same at the same time…!


    A rant that I got on without thinking much about,
    but,
    It stays on my mind as there are versions to corruption and how all of us comprehend and look past the banners and adverts that portray them to be a figure sent by G0d…!


    But,

    Beware of these fake prophets and their propaganda that they run to make them appear closer and closer to a divine being,
    Whereas it’s the complete opposite…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • The dream of being an executioner…!

    The dream of being an executioner…!


    TW: Gore, psychological horror, violence, dissociation


    It was an eerie experience,
    A feeling un-felt before;


    There was something going on,
    That caused me to be weary;


    A sense of nausea,
    And an even more deeper sense of paranoia-
    As I looked at my hands,
    And they were covered in blood…!


    Someone’s life was taken—
    Snatched away by my hands;

    On looking at my fingers,
    Red was within the cuticles and stuck under my nails…

    I looked left and right,
    There was nothing,
    Nobody was there,
    Not even a single sign of blood spilled—


    But,
    I found a few droplets on the floor as I kept my hand on my knees as I sat on my butt…


    I tried to lock my head within them to escape what was happening around me,
    as I looked far left,
    I recognized the dimly lit bulb a few meters away…


    I got up through this sense of nausea and tried to walk in that direction,

    On the way towards it—
    I saw what seemed like the torso of someone,
    And from it I could see,
    A part of the small intestine,
    Curly and looped,
    Covered in red, looking pale white…


    Within a fraction of a second,
    I threw up,
    As I ran past the horrors that my eyes witnessed;

    I saw a corpse hung like an animal’s about to be butchered,
    Another one from which skin was removed and looked like it was waiting to be processed…!


    It felt like it was moving moments before; as remnants of steam were visible from it;


    On looking in the other direction I saw,
    A butcher covered in what looked like a black kitchen apron,

    Infront of me he chopped another person’s hand and it fell right infront of my feet,
    And a few specs of blood hit my face,
    Jokingly he apologised and picked it up,
    Covering the body,
    Or what seemed like a cubicle workplace using curtains,
    With number
    “336”…


    On reaching the light,
    I saw,
    A single paper board with a sign,

    "IF THIS FEELS ODD,
    OR IT FEELS LIKE YOU SAW SOMETHING YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE,
    RING THE BELL,
    SOMEONE WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU SHORTLY…"

    Before pressing the button,
    I saw people,
    Who didn’t have any work….!?


    They looked at me like they struck gold,
    Before I could press the button,
    Which was roughed up,
    Hinting at something that was excessively used,
    I stared through my peripherals,


    What I saw—
    I saw the same,
    Ear-to-ear smile,
    Realizing,
    What would become of me,
    If I were to press that button,

    maybe I would be someone with whom all of this would happen…?

    So, in that fraction of a second I made up my mind…!
    I just turned around went to my cabin and left after cleaning up,
    And just exited the hallway,
    The last number that I saw in that room hinted at the number “999”…

    Before I could exit,
    I signed a form,
    A Form that said,
    I saw nothing,
    I did nothing,
    And,
    I don’t know what happened,
    As I exited the door,
    Remnants of what I did were slowly creeping in…!


    A continuous stream of blood heading to the center of the room,
    going down the drain, maybe it was powering someone or something;

    The specks of blood hitting my face,
    And those eyes—


    The eyes from the torso staring at my soul,
    As I kept my mouth shut and ran home;


    I rubbed my face and cleaned off all the blood,
    Until the water ran clean down the drain,
    I wiped the mirror and in it I saw,
    A face that I recognized…


    Same as the torso,
    Same as the person who chopped off the hand,
    Same as the faces who were looking at me from afar,
    As I sat there contemplating it all,
    What was that I saw…?
    Who were they…?
    Who am I…?
    Why was I on the ground…?
    Why was I chopping someone’s hand off…?
    Why was I staring at myself before pressing that button…?
    Who am I…?


    As I stared into the cabinet and took out a bottle,
    And poured a heavy drink to forget everything;


    Even after a few,
    I was still on the edge,
    As I picked up this pen and pad,
    I faced a bigger problem…!


    I faced something that was even worse,
    Worst thing to ever witness with my own eyes,
    But,
    The reality kicked in,
    As I saw…

    I saw,
    A pre-written note,
    Describing exactly the same,
    Repeated countless times,
    No matter how many pages I turned,
    Everything I saw,
    Repeated with gruesome details,
    And I left the pad;


    I looked into my drawer and found a packet on which was written,

    "WHEN YOU NEED TO FORGET THINGS,
    TAKE ONE,
    WITH WATER,
    BUT I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY,
    SO TAKE IT WITH A SMALL WATER BOTTLE IN THE LOWER DRAWER…"

    A small bottle was placed in the bottom drawer,
    As I took a pill,
    And a swig of water,
    It took me out the very next instant…


    On waking up the next day,
    And finding a written note on the bedside lamp which I missed,
    “Place a small water bottle in the lower drawer,
    And never tell anyone about anything…!”
    “Repeat the cycle if necessary…”

    On staring at something I couldn’t recognise anymore,
    I went to the bathroom, washed my face,
    Placing a water bottle in the lower drawer,
    As ordered by the note,
    And got ready for work,
    The next day…




    The dream ended abruptly and I found myself waking up at 3:25 AM with cold sweats and my AC going steady at 24 C for the timer I set for two hours…!


    A dream within a dream that I saw and felt like I was trapped…!

  • Being an executioner for a single day…!

    Being an executioner for a single day…!

    What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

    06/05/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…!

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    After a while a prompt has come that I have already previously answered,

    but,

    I wanted to change it for a moment…!


    Let me tell you why there is a change in my old view…!

    It is because there is a dream that I had which is about the type of job that I’d do just for a single day…!


    It would be,

    An executioner

    I know it’s a weird choice but,

    This is something that I would like to do once…!


    To answer why,

    Firstly I’d like to know the limits that I have to the tolerance and how I would feel after;

    Secondly,

    I would happily remove the scums that exist on the face of this earth and make it unsafe for people especially women of all age…!


    Of course it would be a legal thing associated with courts and approved by law and I know the fact that executioners aren’t paid handsomely…!

    Well not even something that would cover your basic necessities for a single month…!

    A meagre 3000 rupees a month,

    so I’d have to look for other source of income on the side,

    but doing it once and then never looking back makes it better and not something that I’d do for money…!


    A dream that I had on the same will be shared in the from of a post tonight and I hope you all will enjoy—

    well,

    share a sense of trauma…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • A question to you all…!

    A question to you all…!

    If he already knew the crux of it all,

    He already had a plan in his mind what evil was from ground up…!


    G0d’s mind was made up from the start,
    He knew what was right and what was wrong but he still sent you down here…?

    To prove that it is a perfect world…!

    And in his perfect world,
    Someone drinks and beats her wife and children;

    Or;

    A child is born healthy and forgets to breathe and passes away from this world…?

    So, if it is a perfect world,
    Where evil exists and all of the things within it,
    Then can evil nature said to be his creation too…?

    Or we have to blame someone else,
    after creation of this human form we live in…?!

    The personification of evil has become something we steer towards,
    but,
    an all knowing being wouldn’t let evil happen—

    He wouldn’t let anyone suffer—

    He wouldn’t wait for the evil-doer to spend their entire life and wait for them to pass away on their own and after that they would receive their punishment…!

    A thought that roams my mind and I decided to pen last night…!

    Attached proof of an already answered prompt…!

    न्याय ?

    आए दिन खबर आए,
    आस में हम सभ की न्याय…!
    
    किसी दिन,
    एक छोटी लड़की—
    २.५ साल की;
    
    एक बुजुर्ग औरत किसी दिन,
    ८० साल की थी जो;
    
    
    और हमारे मुंह से निकले,
    वही शब्द;
    
    ——
    
    किसी अनजान के मुंह से वह निकले हैरानी में,
    
    मगर—
    पीड़ित जो,
    उसकी माँ-बाप के मुंह से निकले वोह,
    आह में,
    अनंत दुख में;
    
    ——
    
    बस एक ही गुहार जो आज इकट्ठा हुए—
    इकट्ठा हुए हम सभ,
    कि
    कभी मिल पायेगा,
    उसको,
    या उसके परिवार को 
    न्याय?
    
    या
    घूमते फिरेंगे कुछ दिनों में ये हैवान,
    फिर-
    किसी और के साथ ऐसा कुछ होने पर,
    उसे मौत के घाट उतार देने पर;
    
    
    मिले वही चेहरे,
    एक बार फिर किसी दूसरी रैली पर,
    एक और जान को गवा देने के बाद;
    
    हम सभ भूल जाएँगे,
    एक बार फिर से भूल जाएँगे;
    
    क्या होता है वोह शब्द,
    जिसको पाने के लिए एकत्र किए थे—
    इस सरकार से,
    इस खाखी वर्दी से;
    
    कि,
    कभी मिलेगा हमे,
    या,
    उन पीड़ितों के घर वालो को,
    

    न्याय…?



    English translation….! ⬇️


    Justice….?

    Every other day we hear the news,
    All of us seek justice—

    Someday,
    It’s a little girl
    2 and a half year old;

    Someday it’s an old woman,
    80 year old she was;


    And from our mouths you hear,
    That same word;

    ——

    From an unknown person’s mouth its spoken in a tone that’s surprising,

    But,
    From the victim’s—
    Their Mother’s and father’s mouth its heard
    In pain,
    In eternal sorrow;

    ——

    On that same painful note-
    We all have gathered here today,

    Someday we’ll be able to find her,
    and to her family,
    Justice…!

    Or,

    In a few days these animals will roam freely,
    And again,
    when this act is repeated with someone,
    And her existence is removed from
    the face of the earth;


    The same faces will meet again,
    Meet again on someone else’s rally,
    After losing yet another soul;

    We all will forget,
    In this deranged forgetfulness we will seek justice once again;

    Seeking that word or its meaning;


    To find it we have gathered here today,
    From the government,
    From these policemen;

    Can we ever find it,
    Or,
    Help their parents find…

    Justice…?

    A serious conversation about WordPress and what people really want you to see…!

    What gives you direction in life?

    2/05/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There is a problem that comes in with being active on WordPress…!

    and I hope someone has encountered it too…!

    And,

    to prove it to you all I am attaching a image below ⬇️

    All of those show you prompts that I’ve answered some time before;

    And,

    before I began I made a promise to myself…!


    I won’t answer a same question until there are significant changes in my life;

    and I haven’t had that drastic of a change in my life that I go on answering the same questions again and again…!


    So,

    I’m going to dip into my some freely written posts without any restrictions of time and thought process…!


    Do you only see what you want….?

    No...

    Sometimes they only show what they want to be seen as,
    and they're so good at it,
    you come to know it later,

    that—

    They aren't even a speck of what they act,
    like their behaviour and their actions are polar opposite of what they are with you...

    ——

    I’m glad I came to know this earlier 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,

    and telling the world—
    what sort of a person you are...

    ——

    I'm glad and breathe in peace,
    that no-where,

    there will be fingers pointed at my face,

    for the fact that I was still in contact with such individuals...

    (P.s.
    I might have been,
    but,
    all of our connections are long gone...)

    Cheers 🥂

  • Pseudo—camping and joining back work….!

    Have you ever been camping?

    1/05/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It was a slow day at work yesterday and I had to join back someday and I told myself why not today…!

    So I went back to work and started where I left off and began working on the blanks that I prepared before I took the days off for my sister’s wedding…!

    I was able to hunk off quite a bit of material and I think I will be done with what was left around 1 in the afternoon—

    And I will begin on the second lot today itself and prepare some material for stock as we were running out of it before I went on my leave…!


    A packed day it is and it will be a long one too,

    but,

    I need to draw a line somewhere,

    I need to fulfill the promises I made to myself and set boundaries at work like working for a finite amount of time and we have started to reject emergency orders which bring us under a lot of pressure and even after the order is complete we are given the same amount that we were supposed to get if we were doing it on a normal time like a span of a day or two…!

    It’s a lot of work that we are turning down but that comes after being forced to work like literal machines and not being paid adequately for it…!


    And once that happens we can charge extra for the emergency work that requires same day action on something…!

    It’s not something I see purely from a business pov but;

    I see it from a view that it gives us a sense of accomplishment and we are adequately paid for it too because we are making time from our packed routine to accommodate your emergency…!


    Something that is hard to see if you’re not looking at it from an industrial pov where things go wrong and require maintenance at every single step…!


    Coming back to the prompt

    Camping and my views on it

    Let me be honest;

    I’ve never been on a camping trip per se—

    like,

    We didn’t plan in advance and bought gear and prepared ourselves and took training for setting up tent and any other thing…!

    But—

    I’ve been to enough hill stations and have enjoyed the pseudo-camps that they have set up there…!


    I remember a trip to a place called narkanda which is 60 something kilometres upwards of Shimla and where we booked our homestay…!

    And at that place they were setting up these tents next to the bonfire that they had made out of old metal drums and they were putting in wood that they brought from a shed that was attached to the property…!


    and after paying extra we got in those tents and took the feeling of what it feels like camping…!

    Well,

    pseudo—camping to be honest

    because all of the stuff was provided to us like food in plates and timber was added to the fire by the homestay staff;

    and all we did was sit put in that rent and even blankets were provided to us in that tent and we slept like logs…!


    Let me bring your attention to

    Pseudo—camping

    because that is what we did,

    we didn’t hunt(pretty sure that isn’t allowed here in India)

    we didn’t cut down trees to keep the fire running,

    and we didn’t set up tent as it was already there;

    But,

    we did feel like we did camping…!

    (or maybe in an essence…)


    To camping—

    A pseudo one if you may;

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍
