  • We were almost something…!

    We were almost something…!

    How did you meet your significant other?

    23/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Hope your Sunday goes well, you wake up well rested and do get to spend some time with your significant other…!

    .

    While people like me spend their time at work…!

    😅😂

    Well,

    I can tell you what it felt like to meet someone who I considered to be my significant other…!

    We found each other broken by people and with next to no hope that we will ever love anyone anymore—

    Through an app where we expressed how we felt and who we were after we found loss in our love lives…!

    It was a random piece of text,

    That made her realise how lonely I was,

    And after that a story that made her feel how lonely she was…!

    So,

    She decided to connect with me,

    On an app where we remained anonymous and I would see her like,

    Her comment,

    Or a side note which gave that piece of text a life in the sense that there was some longing in her heart and mind too…!

    And,

    From that side notes we went to talking to each other about things,

    About life,

    About who we were and who we are—

    And what we wanted to be in our lives…!

    Things went from talking to discussing future in the matter of half a year,

    But,

    Nonetheless,

    There were things that she was fighting and one day,

    Something came up,

    Well,

    Someone did…!

    An ex,

    And,

    She told me what happened,

    How she couldn’t control herself and how she still had feelings for him,

    And guess what happened ahead…?

    Our paths forked,

    Occasionally I get a call, a message or two where she talks about how she is and what is going on in her life…!

    And,

    I talk to her about everything,

    Everything but love…!

    Because I know that won’t happen ever again…!

    How we found our significant other’s,

    Who still weren’t over their past and those who did them wrong…!

    In no way this piece of text berates her, there was love, sincere one in our hearts—(well I can tell you that I had in mine…)

    And if we didn’t end up together,

    I wish she ends up with someone who she loves and deeply cherishes and he does the same to her…!

    Don’t we want that when we truly love someone…? 😶

    Song of the day is here

    One of the biggest people in Panjabi music right now,

    Arjan Dhillon…!

    The whole album sikhar is a recreation of poetry written by the pillars of Panjabi literature where they express through these words how they felt about the lives they lived and the loved ones who they lost…!

    The song “hawa banke” is such a great poetry that explains how someone passed through them like wind does to the trees, rustling through the leaves…!

    While someone like us we are left there just like a thin stemmed birch tree…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • Sharing joy with everyone who walks on this G0d’s green earth…!

    Sharing joy with everyone who walks on this G0d’s green earth…!

    What’s a cultural tradition from your country that you love?

    22/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know all of you are aware how diverse India is and being someone who has lived all his life here we see various traditions and cultures mix together and celebrate each other’s religious beliefs with them..!

    I went to a party hosted by my friend’s family as they were celebrating Eid…!

    Even though I don’t follow their religious beliefs, respecting them and wishing them on a day they consider pious is something that is usually do…!

    And I was invited at a party where there was snacks and they had invited people in their known and known heir extended family…!

    We went out to roam for a while and then returned as the dinner was being laid out and we helped set it up and we had dinner and I left after wishing him and their family—

    “Eid Mubarak… 👏”

    Another one of my friend is Christian…!

    And whenever he’s in town in the last days of the year we visit to the church with him…!

    To be honest he was one of the person who educated me as to what to do in a church and how to maintain decorum and peace;

    Even though there is a lot of footfall when the celebration is ongoing…!

    We visit the church on the 25th of December and take joy and wish those who come to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ…!

    We usually grab a bite to eat after we leave the church and I give him a gift that I brought for his family before we leave for our home…!

    We celebrate Diwali and Dussehra at our homes and give to those who are less fortunate than us…!

    Yes, we celebrate the festival of light with the people on our neighbourhood and we invite those who don’t and include them in festivities and celebrations by asking them to join us by just listing to the chants that we do…!

    It’s usually chanting Lord Ganesha’s and Goddess Laxmi’s aarti…!

    And,

    For a change we worship Lord Ravana…!

    Not who he became but who he was before;

    A scholar and devotee of lord shiva…!

    Along with being someone who knew Vedas and created literary, astrological instruments and musical instruments on his own…!

    We visit Gurudwara on the occasion of Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti, Vaisakhi, Banndhi chor diwas and guru nanak jayanti…!

    Being from a Hindu Sikh Background we dabble in both religious beliefs..!

    We celebrate birth of guru Nanak and guru Gobind singh ji,

    And during Vaisakhi we wish a bountiful harvest of crops and creation of Khalsa…!

    And we celebrate Bandhu chor on the day of Diwali, how guru Hargobind singh ji released 52 captive kings from Gwalior..!

    As we come from our parents and learn what they teach us,

    Respecting and being a part of someone’s happiness is something that I was taught to do..

    So,

    As long as the other person invites us with open arms and love,

    I try to include myself with their family and be happy in their celebrations…!

    That is the culture and tradition that we were taught and that makes us Indians much different from everyone around the globe…!

    Song of the day is here…!

    Nancy Ajram is here

    Yes,

    The music I listen to has no boundaries and one day when I was a kid I came across her old songs and I find her once in a while she in my playlist and her beautiful voice brings me peace and joy…!

    It has already been 6 years since this came out, can you believe that…???

    Cheers 🥂

  • Moments closer to those who have departed this world before us…!🥹

    Moments closer to those who have departed this world before us…!🥹

    If you could relive one day from your past, which day would it be and why?

    21/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey..

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I hope there is a reason that time is constantly flowing forward and we keep on building these memories that pull us closer to those who we love and adore…!

    But,

    Not all moments are happy,

    Some are sad,

    Some teach us lessons,

    Some cause us harm from which we try to recover each day…!

    But,

    For all of us there are moments that we want to relive…!

    Maybe it’s spending a good day with their family,

    Or spending a weekend with their loved ones,

    Or,

    A memory that lives with awesome times spent with their friends…!

    They could be sad times too,

    Maybe a normal weekday where you get handed the news where you or your loved one was diagnosed with something that made their days on this earth numbered…!

    For me,

    It would be spending a work day with my father who is no longer among us…!

    A random Tuesday or Wednesday where we work side by side and I watch him do the work that he did and I compete the work that I had to do that day…!

    We would sit and eat fruits together and after an hour and a half,

    Have lunch together…!

    After answering some queries that I have we go back to our work,

    And then sit again in the evening for tea…!

    Have some snacks while discussing the work that we have to do tomorrow…!

    Later when it was our time to leave,

    We would wrap it up by cleaning our machines and washing our hands and face and then locking the main gate and leaving the workplace…!

    We would listen to some old songs on the way back,

    Maybe grab some essentials that we need for home and the drive home would be amazing…!

    After taking a bath we would sit down and have food with my mom and sister and then go out for a walk and sleep in our beds…!

    Reliving a normal day with my father and family would be a dream come true,

    I’d ask him many a things that I couldn’t,

    Talk to him about things we didn’t,

    And,

    Let him know that we are happy and we miss him,

    His presence each passing day…!

    Song of the day is here

    Technically it’s an album

    Designerr by Jokhay and Umair

    The album features all of the Pakistani hip hop artists and their talent speaks for themselves…!

    From young stunners to rap demon,

    From Jani to CGF(Rap group from Pakistan)

    It also has international features which makes this one of the biggest projects of Pakistani hip hop as we see artists like—

    Benny the butcher, keeya keys, Ghostface killa and Nadine el Roubi

    A well rounded album that brings people together and speaks for itself…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Twisted endings and waking away from the love of your life…!

    Twisted endings and waking away from the love of your life…!

    What’s the last movie that made you cry?

    20/09/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    It’s rare for me to watch movies—

    Well not now because I’m involved in a lot of things but even back when I was a kid;

    .

    I used to fall asleep mid movie or watched it but didn’t pay any attention to it…!

    It was rare for me to sit for an hour and a half and stare at the screens,

    And now that the size of the screens have reduced to the point that they can fit into our pockets,

    I rarely get enough time to watch them too…!

    More than movies you will see my YouTube Home Screen filled with videos taking me to ancient civilisations and exploring deep science…!

    Now those are the things that pique my interest…!

    Coming back to the answering the prompt…!

    I rarely get a chance to watch movies,

    But the TV series called dark…!

    It’s ending made me cry,

    Well cry to the point where I was in my room bawling my eyes out…!

    Because of the fact that these two who were madly in love realising that they were the problem in the matrix and if they were gone,

    Well,

    Well not present—

    It would return the time back to its normal state and let everyone and everything return to its peaceful nature…!

    It tells us how the fragments survive even after we are not meant for each other…!

    Even if not in memory—

    They continue to live on in the feelings and cause us both pain and happiness when their thought comes to our mind…!

    Coming back to the song of the day…!

    Tyson Sidhu

    I know you must have heard about him a few years back and he is coming back with a boost which makes us think of the past and how much we all loved him…!

    This song is from 2023 and stays in my playlist because it slaps…!

    The last one was from 2025 called Dhokhe and it is something that makes us realise what we missed…!

    Tyson Sidhu’s Time

    Do check it out and show our artists some love…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Human and the concept of treating them as resources…!

    Human and the concept of treating them as resources…!

    If you could erase one event from history, what would it be?

    19/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    There are many moments small and big that led to who and what we are as humanity…!

    Some of them were necessary like moving from using animals to plough our fields to these giant mechanical machinery that do the same work that was done by them in a single day within a few hours…!

    Something like invention of electricity before which we relied heavily on natural light and when the sun set we had to take out lamps and candles…!

    And now due to the advent of electricity we stay in the comfort of our own homes and pay these massive bills each month…!

    But,

    There was something more important that I’d like to erase from all humanity,

    It’s more of how and what we perceive other people…!

    Like imagine if someone owes me something and they can’t seem to find means to pay for it…!

    They themselves become the resource that pays for what they owed me…!

    Yes I’m taking about the fact that humans were considered as a property and something that can be transferred and sold when needed…!

    In simple words I’d like to erase the concept of Slavery…!

    I’d like to do away with the concept that humans could be traded or used as a means to cover something that they couldn’t pay off…!

    Human life is precious in itself and if someone has to stay under someone rule and become someone’s object and someone they can repurpose and sell when it seems fit to them,

    It would remove the purpose of living this life…!

    I know humanity would find a way to repurpose the concept of slavery and come up with a different name for it,

    But,

    I’d like to do away with the concept that humans can be traded and owned as resources first…!

    Because the more you think about it,

    The more human nature becomes something that finds ways to exploit the people who are less fortunate…!

    Song of the day from me to you

    Naseeb by bhalwaan

    Bhalwaan is someone who has been in the game for a while now and his flows are immaculate and the way he brings these concepts to us is just amazing…!

    The song opens with

    ਮੇਰਾ ਐਨਾ ਵੀ ਨਸੀਬ ਨਈ, ਕੇ ਦਿਲ ਦੇ ਕਰੀਬ ਕੋਈ—

    The opening line speaks on how,

    He’s not fortunate enough to have someone in their fate…!

    But I hope you do have someone in your fate and life whom you adore and get love from…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍

  • More than what our eyes see…!

    More than what our eyes see…!

    What’s a conspiracy theory you actually find believable?

    18/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    There are many conspiracy theories that roam my mind and they range from a few which are believe able like the evil nature of people who we choose and elect to represent us and run the nations we reside in;

    To—

    Something that would sound fiction like each and everyone who is at the top is in fact an alien being who controls the flow of money to keep poor people poor and let the rich stay rich…!

    But,

    A well presented partially told truth is much better than hiding it all would be rhe conspiracy I’d go with…!

    I think the way that the people at the top(whom we chose to be our representatives) selectively release stuff and information many years later when it would prove to be fruitful to us common public…!

    And their method of release might be vague, like black taping many things like we see in the 3pstein files—

    How a lot of information and images are taped over to protect the victims but within that a lot of people who should be incriminated are also maybe on purpose hidden…!

    Khair

    There is this concept of letting us feel unwanted and away from the information that would compromise people in authority,

    And when that sort of information seeps through the cracks and causes chaos amongst those whose reputation would be harmed—

    They try their best to cover it up and postpone its release until later date until the person is no longer in power or maybe not alive anymore…!

    And what would you do to the person who is no longer alive…?

    Once the leak confirms the act or the thing that causes real harm to the public and trust in the government and its working…!

    For this sole reason,

    Only a selective portion of information is released to the public,

    Enough to keep us in a close loop hooked onto it until we discover another path that causes us to discover even more things much more tragic in nature…!

    Fr@zzledrip would be one of them..!

    (It’s very gruesome and I’d recommend against you checking it out , but if you have a strong heart, I’d recommend it to you…!

    Let’s not forget the song of the day…

    Exploring Marathi hip hop…!

    Sambata

    The name is enough to bring fear into the minds of the people who hate him…!

    A upcoming rapper and hip hop artist who bring such an agressive flow that people bow down to his talent and art…!

    From Pinnak (another one of his songs) to now an album Maaz—

    Every beat that he has spit over becomes something of a cult classic..!

    Do check it out if you plan to listen something new, fresh and a different language’s perspective on gangster rap…!

    Do check it out and show love to upcoming artists because they are our future…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Accepting the uncertain nature of everything around us…!

    Accepting the uncertain nature of everything around us…!

    How do you deal with uncertainty?

    17/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Life is uncertain,

    And everything in it too…!

    You wouldn’t believe it but we cremated a cousin brother of mine a week ago…!

    RIP to the a brother who loved everyone and had a lasting effect on who ever he ever met…!

    The uncertain nature of life is something that we have to come to terms with one day,

    There might be few cases in which life goes through how you want, whereas most of the time it’s the complete opposite…!

    The same is applied to our work life—

    Not everything proceeds as smoothly as we picture in our mind,

    Deadlines are not always met because of the human factor that comes in the process of creating and delivering…!

    Even if you have multiple workers at hand,

    The production drops once a few people are missing, maybe they are under the weather or they have some work that needs immediate work and they ask for a leave…!

    Delay happens and that is something which is inevitable until and unless we take a few days as backup in it…!

    And that is how we work…!

    The uncertainty,

    Or the fear of having it makes us worry and think about it all the time…!

    And the day we accept the fact the uncertain nature of life and its aspects;

    We will start living better life by atleast being prepared for it, instead of worrying about it…!

    Just accept the uncertain nature of life, of people and everything around you, only after that you can live freely,

    Truly freely…!

    And that also means coming to terms with the fact that you might not have the next breath;

    Or,

    The person who you love the most might not…!

    Talk to them now,

    Tell them what you want now or forever hold your peace,

    Because even the next moment is uncertain…!

    Before going a way let me give tou the song of the day…!

    It’s been 3 years since this gem was dropped by Tanisha…!

    I found her out of the blue when I was on shuffle and have been hooked on her ever since…!

    Be the reason…! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

    Her last drop

    Never notice is even more beautiful…!

    I love how she has grown within a span of three year and I hope she grows even more bigger than what she is right now🔥🔥🔥

    Be the Reason by Tanisha

    Cheers 🥂

  • Making decisions before we turned adults..!

    Making decisions before we turned adults..!

    What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?

    16/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    It wasn’t something like I turned 18 and realised I was an adult,

    But it was way before that—

    It was when I chose not to opt for a foreign trip which my school sponsored to go to America;

    Because I knew my family couldn’t afford it…!

    I knew I had to make a decision even before I presented this trip that my school was making to a foreign nation…!

    I had to stop myself from perusing a girl that I deeply loved,

    Even though I had a massive crush on her and I would have tried to give her the best life I could—

    I already knew things wouldn’t turn out the way it did because I know how they are right now,

    I had to make a choice even before I had the opportunity to choose someone for myself…!

    My parents told me that they wouldn’t be able to fund my dreams and aspiration after I passed my school and an exams which gave me a seat into my dream college;

    I knew I had to make do with what was possible within my budget,

    Before I was pushed into this field which I hated at first,

    But later built attachment to…!

    Each and every time I had to make sacrifices, even before the news reached the ears of my guardian and most of the time I blamed my fate and my life for being born here…!

    To be honest most of these happened before I turned 18,

    Most of my adult life I was prepared for things to go south all the time and preventive measures were just a few thoughts away…!

    It wasn’t a good life,

    Well it isn’t a good life even now—

    But,

    You can never ever be too prepared…!

    Can you…?

    Sometimes we had to make decisions even before we turned adults,

    But that is a conversation we aren’t ready for…!

    Are we…?

    Not forgetting the song of the day…!

    Shikri to my rescue

    These ears have never rejected any artist that brings peace and straight away the message that the artist wanted to portray…!

    Shikriwal

    An already established name from Garhwa, Jharkhand,

    He brings to us flows and an entirely different way to communicate the idea that exists in his mind…!

    And I’d recommend you to check him out just this once and he’d for sure be on your mind…!

    And he’s famous for his Ajay devgn’s look with the specs(which turned into this meme…)

    This one…! 😂😂

    Cheers 🥂

  • Famous restaurants in Delhi…!

    Famous restaurants in Delhi…!

    Which is the best restaurant in your city?

    15/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Happy independence day to those who are celebrating…!

    Maybe you are planning to host a get-together, or you will be joining someone who invited you…!

    Or maybe you are going outside with your family to eat and this prompt couldn’t come at the right time…!

    Even if you would like to stay at home and order in that would be perfect because of delivery services like zomato/swiggy…!

    Or,

    Maybe you’re like me munching on some matar or some matthi straight out of the box like some caveman…!

    I guess this box will end by the evening and I’ll need to buy some more for later…!

    And I don’t take any questions about the box because it was thoroughly cleaned before I put matar in those…!

    Why do we call it matar you ask,

    Because it’s in the shape of a matar or a pea pod 🫛, well without the peas of course…!

    Also,

    Can you call it a day off when you don’t wake up early and everyone who is at home wants you to work early on in the morning…?

    I was woken up by the maid cleaning our house and mom having a loud conversation about her life, her daughter and how her son is going out of her hand…!

    And to someone who just woke up, it felt like they were having a full blown fight and I ran into my living room,

    And guess what,

    They were having a normal conversation and I tried to go back to sleep,

    Emphasis on the tried to…!

    So guess what,

    I had to help my sister put up curtains and our ladder broke and after fixing it my sister decided to make breakfast..!

    And after considering a while and deciding on poha which I love,

    She decided to make vermicelli…!

    😅🥲🥲

    So I guess we will be having vermicelli after all…!

    Back to the best restaurant in my city…!

    Well none of these are in order and they will give you want you want and how you want it to feel…!

    First would be Pukhtaän

    If tou know what I’m talking about you already are familiar with the flavor of the Padma shri awardee chef Imtiaz Qureshi’s son Ashfaque Qureshi…!

    I was able to enjoy once in Rajouri Garden and taking home delivery more than four times in Karol Bagh(which was recently closed down due to them not being able to secure enough well paying crowd here…!)

    Everything slaps here,

    Even its black dal or red meat…!

    You are paying good amount for the food and your expectations will be exceeded for sure…!

    Second would be New Tera hotel

    Situated right next to where the pukhtaän was in Karol Bagh,

    You will be greeted by a handsome Sardarji with a warm welcome and a big smile where you can either place your order or dine in at any given time of the day…!

    I’d recommend the paneer bhurji and their double fry dal along with parantha or naan I’d recommend to try to garlic one…!

    A pure veg restaurant which uses ghee for cooking all of the dishes,

    They can swap out garlic too but you’ll have to confirm that yourself…!

    Third would be Panjabi Angeethi

    A place that I get delivered my food from every now and then,

    Even if it’s only for you or a party that you’re hosting, they have awesome deals like paneer, daal, chaap, pulao,rolls etc…!

    You can have food and never get tired of it…!

    Last would be Prem Dhaba…!

    From veggie options to all non veg options you can have food at their venue, infront of the restaurant in your car or get it delivered…!

    I have been having their food ever since I was a kid and you cannot match that they serve because it’s mixed with nostalgia for me…!

    You can check them all out one visit at a time, if you plan to visit Delhi or Karol Bagh any time in the near future…!

    Let’s not forget the song of the day

    Die young

    Don’t we wish to rush and earn big money and die fast…?

    Well,

    Not if you want to leave a legacy and live a long life and set an example that the people around you can look upto…!

    The obsession that some of us have with gangsta rap is something we cannot explain to others, while we drive to our desk job or office…!

    Gagg-E and Deep Dhaliwal…!

    Happy Independence Day to those who are celebrating…!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Before you become me read this…!

    Before you become me read this…!

    If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say?

    14/08/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    Didn’t we answer a prompt like this before…??

    Or maybe I think I’m confusing this prompt with something that was along the same lines…!

    The message written on a piece of paper would be—

    You are not going to understand everything that will happen in the near future, keep the curious nature of yours just the way it is and keep on answering questions even if they are to yourself…!

    Keep on penning those strange ideas that you think won’t belong anywhere, not on the internet or someplace public but store them in your notes app and give them a space in your phone instead of your mind…!

    You aren’t born in the wrong place or the wrong time, you are born perfectly that too in a place where people need truth to their face and how life is different from person to person…!

    Remember to spend time with your dad and your friends who will leave you one day and you won’t be able to see them ever again…!

    Also,

    Cherish those who are around you when they are around you…!

    You will spend most of it thinking how you were pulled from what you were supposed to become and what you became…!

    You will learn that you will not be able to control it so for backup in the corner there will be a few winning lotto numbers which will help you in life…!😂

    Also don’t go to but each lotto ticket yourself buy it through people and share a portion with them if those numbers win…!

    (Buy a few duds too so no one thinks you got this letter from me…!)

    😂😂😂

    Khair

    Keep on living, surviving and being who you are…!

    Let’s not forget the song of the day…!

    Wazir patar to the world..!

    Khamakha a song that tells us how a pair separated but when they think of a reason now it feels that, that reason wasn’t valid or feels childish now…!

    You probably know him by the popular songs that he has released like notorious…!

    Or one of the biggest songs he produced for Sidhu Moose wala,

    GOAT OR MALWA BLOCK..!

    He also sings and bring to us songs that fill us to the brim with feelings and emotions and makes us wonder about those who were with us when we had nothing…!

    Cheers 🥂

    Love Waakiye 🤍
