  • To my forefathers birthplace: Panjab

    To my forefathers birthplace: Panjab

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    07/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I know this might sound primitive to all of you but I’d like to be born in Panjab…!

    Before it was stricken by drugs and such an epidemic of violence and ego boost that people have there…!


    I’d love to wake up with the verses of Gurugranth sahib ji that come to my ear first thing in the morning…!

    And I’d love to wake up early and tend to animals that we have on our property from which we get milk even if it for our own consumption or selling it to the neighbours…!


    After the morning routine I’d get to go around with my friends that live around our home and go with them to shop for essentials to shops that are a few kilometres away…!

    While we are going to the urban area that has shops we would take a detour to our lands and watch the crops that are growing and after roaming through and checking out if there is some problem or not we would leave for the urban area…!


    After leaving our agricultural land we would reach the shops and buy things that would help our daily lives,

    And we would get a call to get some other things like seeds or fertiliser for our land which would extend our time spent there…!

    After getting all the essentials we would grab a bite to eat and check out some electronics item like add on to our Royal Enfield bullet or some new lights for our splendor…!


    It would take us a few hours and by the time we would return—It would almost be evening and after dropping my friend off to his home I’d reach mine and by the time we would clean up, take a shower and get ready we would get a call that some of our friends were getting together and planning on drinking in the evening…!


    So we would reach the decided place which would be our friend’s motor(An open area right next to the field where people can sit and rest)

    Where we would celebrate life and drink together and be happy…!

    And we would return home by night after eating and drinking and we would get in our beds and the same life would start over again…!


    A life like this is nowhere to be found,

    But Panjab…!


    If you’re asking why would I not want to step out of our country’s borders;

    It’s because I’d much rather spend another life being born in Panjab instead of any other place where people live with a sense of responsibility and respect for others…!


    To our wonderful Panjab and its heritage that keeps on extending beyond our lifetimes…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Importance of chaos in life…!

    Importance of chaos in life…!

    Is a little chaos actually good for us?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Yes, Yes

    God yes it’s important to have some chaos in life…!


    Because without chaos life feel monotonous,

    If you ask me,

    My sister was the source of my chaos and now that she has been married off the life feels very stagnant and the line blemishes between day and night…!


    She came here last night and it felt like the chaos returned with her and I don’t have to actively seek chaos anymore…!

    😂😂😂


    (Khair)

    She’s lovely and she has evolved into a lovely daughter in law and I hope a great wife for my brother in law…!

    But,

    She can behave how we were before and that switch flips instantly as she comes here or sees me…!


    Other than that,

    Some chaos like getting late or even getting into some problems make us realise the importance of neutral energy even more,

    Otherwise we take our normal life for granted…!


    Well we cannot talk about chaos and forget about our loved one and how there are certain things that they do which makes our nerves tingle and want us to snap at them…!

    But,

    The same fades and hurts us when there is nothing going or we are away from them…!

    We miss that chaos and how that chaos makes us love them even more…!


    Let’s not talk about kids,

    It’s like they came with a mission to make this life as chaotic as possible and only after they cause a boatload of chaos they feel their daily tasks are over…!

    But,

    Try to look at this world from their perspective…!

    It’s their first time living life and they are learning how and what it feels to be and it shapes them into who they are or who they will be in life…!


    And if you have a pet,

    Forget that you can even have a life that is easy and without chaos because they are unpredictable being sent to us by gods to take all our pains and sadness away…!


    So endure some chaos every now and then;

    And then see how even neutral times feels like blessings…!


    Happy Monday..!

    Cheers 🥂

  • Being a blogger who goes against the flow..!

    Being a blogger who goes against the flow..!

    Who is your favorite blogger to follow?

    05/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    The path of blogging and being a blogger is something that still feels foreign to me..!

    Because all of the bloggers who are prominent and influential bloggers push to earning a lot of money this way…!

    They talk about earning and selling how to get money out of each thing by selling courses and e-books that help them get more and more money out of the readers…!


    I know it feels like that is what we are supposed to do once people latch on—

    But being in the spam section of someone is not what I want…!

    Nor is being someone who coerces the readers to buy their books in which they teach how to earn quick money or the first 1000 dollars…!


    But,

    None of them teach about following passion and actively help you to develope into a better blogger or helping you in such a way that helps you grow as a person…!


    Pushing towards earning money and using gpt to make content and making it go viral is something that all of them teach…!


    When it comes to following passion or being someone who writes because they want to leave a legacy I haven’t found someone like that up until now..!


    And that’s where I come in…!

    Not using gpt and not making money from this and doing this all out of love is something that I do,

    Because I already am content with what I earn from my day job..!


    Happy Sunday and I hope you clean your room today..!

    Do go out for a walk and I hope you feel better for the upcoming week..!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Challenging yourself when you start from scratch…!

    Challenging yourself when you start from scratch…!

    Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on!

    02/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    5000 steps might be achievement worthy to someone who has started working out after a while or it might be a starting goal for someone who is starting a fresh after skipping their routine;

    But for me I easily reach the five thousand step mark as my work requires me to be on my feet all day…!


    Walking to and from one lathe machine to another and checking up on the other machine and making sure if the material coming out of it is of appropriate size and then coming back and resuming my job…!


    If your job demands that you sit in a cubicle and work your rear off for 8+hours,

    I’d advise you to change some habits like getting up and walking for even 30 seconds or a minute if possible every 45 minutes…!

    This way you can reach the goal faster and start a change that will lead towards a better health…!

    Only if you keep it up each day,

    Along with changing other destructive habits…!


    Well,

    I guess this is where the prompt ends today…!

    But,

    I do cheer on someone who is making efforts of starting things from scratch;

    I know it requires sheer dedication and a lot of patience and commitment which in itself is cheer worthy…!


    So,

    Keep on and hit the 5000 step mark today…!

    A stranger from this side of the world believes in you…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • Dealing with negative thoughts that loom over our head..!

    Dealing with negative thoughts that loom over our head..!

    What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?

    01/07/2026@Waakiye

    Hi…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    You won’t believe but the world is filled with negativity and negative thoughts all around…!

    And,

    The moment you understand that your life will be neutral with occasional disruptions that go in the both positive and negative directions…!


    Even I have thoughts that are negative and pull me in a direction that I don’t want to swing towards…!

    These vary from saying something bad about someone to doing something that might be against the well being of another person…!

    But,

    These things go hand in hand with how you handle yourself and bring your conscience back from these self destructive paths..!


    Each and every one of us has negative thoughts and how we deal with them makes us different from each other…!


    How do I deal with them…?

    I usually think about the negative thoughts and try to get to the root of the problem and try to solve by thinking how I can stop this from growing into a big problem;

    For example when I feel too much about how things around me are going on and how negatively they are affecting me,

    I try to stop fighting around,

    And sit still,

    And think on how things around me are affecting me and what measures I can take which range from

    Going out on a walk,

    talking to a friend,

    playing with my pet dog,

    Even listening to music which helps me so much by shifting my focus away from whatever negative goes on in my mind…!


    Earlier I used to be on a destructive path of drinking my pain and sadness away but those days are long gone and I’m happy for myself to be a better person who changed his ways and wants to better himself…!


    I think there are different ways in which everyone deals with negative thoughts;

    Is there some way you deal with these negative thoughts…?

    Do mention them in the comments box and I will be ready to reply..!


    Before going I want to bring you something⬇️

    My mom asked me a dangerous question—

    Will I ever be able to meet dad in the afterlife and how complex is this life is and how we(all four of us) were bound to come to this life together and only the almighty knows how long we are bound together…?!

  • Type of things that shaped us into adults that we are today…!

    Type of things that shaped us into adults that we are today…!

    What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger?

    30/06/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I absolutely hated being alone at times and being by myself when I was a kid;

    I used to play in the evening and be a happy kid and thought so much about my future and my well being later in this life…!

    But,

    As soon as I got to know about life and people in it,

    It changed forced me to change my views and my ways…!


    There are many things that we hated,

    We can agree on the fact they may we hated a certain food or a vegetable and as adults we began to embrace it as there are times when you cannot be picky about food like when you visit someone;

    There are a few who ask ahead but where people don’t we can’t be choosy…!


    Being the type of person I am,

    I talk to strangers and people who I meet on streets a whole lot,

    It gives me a perspective into their lives and how they face problems and things that bug them…!

    A few days before I met someone who talked to me about their dream in which they had a kid with someone they loved but their life went different ways and when I think about their life and put myself in their shoes I find it very challenging and these challenges help me hone my skill…!


    Something that I hated when I was a kid was how adults drink and abuse their wife their children,

    Thankfully I don’t come from a family where I saw abuse after drinking,

    But I do come from a family where people drink on social occasions and enjoy company of those who are around them…!

    And I used to be one of them,

    Up until the end of 2025 when I gave up alcohol for good and have switched to sober alternatives which help me enjoy the company and still be with the people who I love…!

    That does mean I look at them from a different angle now as I’m the sober one and enjoy the company more than the drinking…!


    These are some of the things that I used to hate as a kid and love now…!


    What did you think was bad as a child, which you happily do now…?

    Comments box are open as always…!

  • Choosing a God to fight an injured human..!

    Choosing a God to fight an injured human..!

    Emperor Palpatine has announced open elections for a new Emperor — and he’s nominated Darth Vader. You get to nominate one challenger.

    28/06/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    This prompt came to me and I hope some more of us like a curveball…!

    Because what is even this all about…???😂

    I have to go and search what darth vader is all about because I don’t watch much of TV or shows…!


    Emperor palpatine the antagonist in the star war series is portrayed as evil person with evil intentions and chooses darth vader another evil character who choose the dark path and dresses up in a black robe from head to toe…!


    I know this is a very loose observation and doesn’t begin to do justice to the path that they took or what were the instances that made them choose it;

    But,

    None of them are our concerns here…!

    All we have to worry about is who we bring to the competition of Darth Vader…!


    After some tedious research I found out how his suit is something that is keeping him alive and if we were to fry his suit which is made using circuits and boards and runs on electricity;

    If we had Thor,

    The lightening god

    He would in an instantly fry his suit and made his breathing stop because that is supposedly supported using the suit…!


    A fight that wouldn’t last but would make is much less of a boss fight instead would make him a small fry that comes infront of Thor…!


    Isn’t it…?

    🥲😂

    (I still have no clue what I talked above…)


    Other than that enjoy your Sunday and I hope you wake up well rested…!

  • How we planned future as kids..!

    How we planned future as kids..!

    What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Well,

    when we were kids we used to believe in a lot of stuff that feels stupid whenever we think about right now…!

    I used to believe that all the problems would be over once I graduated from high school or class 12; unknown to me was the fact that we were stepping into a warzone where everyone would be cutthroat and fight for jobs and things because of the limited resources that we have…!


    Other than that, a friend of mine told me that he thought learning or studying would be over once he would leave school and that friend will be leaving India in a few weeks to study in a university in New Zealand…!


    I thought,

    Genuinely thought that people were nice, kind and did things because they wanted to and it was their characteristics;

    But,

    It was the polar opposite, everything starts with an intent and an end goal that they have in their mind which has to be good for them by benefiting them from it even if it comes at someone’s cost…!


    When I think about my childhood or all of our childhood we had these dreams and aspirations about our future because we were somewhat sheltered from the reality and the things were deliberately hidden as to not harm our innocence,

    Which we had to let go one day or another but the sooner we did it the less shocking the world became to us…!


    Imagine having an idea about the world and all of it shattered once you come face to face with it…!


    This one’s sad but we all hoped that our parents will live with us forever,

    I know that seems sad and like a funny joke but,

    That is all what we hoped to live with our parents forever and carry on this life with them…!


    All of the friends that you had would stay with you forever…!

    A realisation that broke us as people walked away and separated from us as they walked on their own paths which they created themselves…!


    At last,

    I genuinely thought we all would be happier;

    Happy like we used be when we were kids and play in the streets with people who we used to call our buddies and best friends…!

    This one is so crushing that it feels like happiness has been removed from our live and we become increasingly aware and normal to the atrocities that happens around us…!

    Nations at war,

    The unsafe conditions for the entire female gender,

    And,

    People committing violence against each other…!


    Dreams that we had as kids…!

    😅😅😅

  • Consumption of media and it outcomes..!

    Consumption of media and it outcomes..!

    What’s a piece of media (book, movie, song) that changed how you see the world?

    26/06/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    Any sort of media that you consume maybe it’s a short video or a long read based on text,

    Every piece of media leaves an impact on you and in a subtle way changes the way you think or detours your mindset from the regular one…!


    For me it’s like that;

    Even if I watch a reel that is very niche and tries to bring out something that is very specific,

    For example a reel that brings to the world the songs that Arjan Dhillon produces through pictures and lyrics written in Panjabi it makes me instantly connect and think of a perspective from the person in the picture…!


    The same happened when I read a philosophical book like I bought metamorphosis a few days back and I want to read it in one go;

    I’ve seen people change and be a different person after reading it and I hope I will also get a fresh perspective on life and a new vision from which I can view this life…!


    When I watch a movie,

    Which is a rare occurrence in my life but, whenever I do, it is mostly sci-fi based or something that goes along the same line which explores the unexplored…!

    And when I’m watching it,

    It becomes a surreal experience as it takes me into a different world and helps me understand that there is always more to this life than it seems…!


    Coming back to the main topic—

    I feel like every thing you see even in real life the outside world,

    It shapes you in a way that no book or no piece of text cannot,

    When you notice hardships and difficulties in life and see people overcoming them and becoming a better person or even a better version of themselves,

    It stirs you up and pushes you to be a better person just like them..!


    Doesn’t it…?


    I know there are side affects too;

    There are other types of media which shape a perception of people towards a specific gender and it harms when people assume and act things they saw online with people in real life which leads to problems which are hard to handle when we see them though our eyes…!


    Do you think the media that you consume affects you in ways that it makes you short tempered or angry;

    Or,

    It helps you to be a creative person…?


    The comment box is open as usual…!


    Cheers 🥂

  • An alternate ending…!

    An alternate ending…!

    If you could change the ending of any book, which one would it be?

    25/06/2026@Waakiye

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…!

    I haven’t been someone who has read a lot of story books but if you’re talking about self help ones or philosophical ones that something that I’ve read and never once thought that there should be an alternate ending…!


    I’ve been someone who loves to write and I am fond of thinking and penning down stories;

    But,

    The ending or where I am supposed to conclude the story is something that comes to me first…!


    Like when I’m thinking and I have a beautiful ending to a story;

    I create a story that leads to my featured ending and in it I feel very content…!

    But—

    When it comes to writing a poem or a prose or a story without conclusive ending it makes it tough for me to create a piece that is mine…!


    Well,

    To be honest when someone writes a book—-

    They take us on a journey that the author/authoress had and they want us to be a witness to it with them…!

    And if you were to change an ending it would make their work null to them even if they are here with us or not;

    So,

    Before thinking about changing an ending to a story that made them feel inclined enough to write a whole book about it;

    I want to ask you a question…!


    Would you be happy if I were to change an ending to a story,

    Your story,

    And make it more appealing to my thought process and my mindset…?

    Would you ever feel okay about that…?


    Cheers 🥂
