"4 scenes" Day#30 of writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
How are you all! I hope you people are doing great, where you are needed the most. I cannot imagine that this is me who had never been so consistent with anything, and now here I'm with this 30 days challenge checked ☑️. It was not about how I did, but how I sticked to it. And I really appreciate support of readers and the random rewarder.
Today's topic is actually something like writing anything of your day which catches your attention. While doing this exercise on daily basis, I hope we would learn to experience small things with much attention. Here Aniko prescribed to use any illustration along with your story, any piece of paper or anything you think deserves to be preserved.
Here I cannot divide screen into 4 rectangles, rather enlist them. So here we go;
1-
Today while sitting on the stairs of my house, in order to get some signals, my attention was caught by small sparrows sitting on the roof of our neighbours. There were many of them but the ones which were catching my eye were baby sparrows who were following their mother for food. And she was there collecting for them, making it soft in her beak and then feeding babies. And their mother was also fighting with some sparrows as if protecting her children. I was thinking that how secure we are with our family, and most importantly our mother who can fight for us no matter what.
2-
Today a far off relative came over and she spent her day on our home. While gossiping she told me very innocently that she used to be very beautiful (I was like awww!) Deep inside I thought, there would be a time when I would be also missing my youth. Indeed there's fall to every rise.
3-
It's been 2 days, that my niece is away from home. When she's here I'm like begging pity from her to leave me for a while so I could study. But she never spares me. Always wanting me to play or even dance with her. I'm missing her a lot.🥺
4-
Today I have done alot of work, like really. I completed my today's reading and the pending reading of yesterday. A nonfiction book has been assigned to read to us within a week. It's getting quite overwhelming. What I did, I divided the no. of pages by no. of days I had. For that I had 40 pages per day. Which were still alot to read 40 pages in a row, so I further divided my reading into 2 halves; 20 pages in the morning and 20 pages at night. And I have just completed those 20 pages before writing this article. I'm almost half done with the book and I'm feeling happy about that 😊.
So guys that was all I could come up with for the last day of this writing challenge. I hope I would be doing much better with next articles.
Next I would write a review of this challenge, stay tuned.
Stay blessed and have a marvellous night ahead. ❣️
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Future Book" Day #29 of writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all doing great. Now finally summer has arrived on our side with its full swing. And fasting is getting a bit difficult, but you know the harder it gets the more rewarding it would be! This Ramadan is quite expensive than any of the last ones. Such inflation and increase in prices in our country is unprecedented. And worse of all the artificial increase in prices by the traders and businesses has never stopped playing it's part. The fruits are out of range of a person who earns which can barely sustains their lives. People are helping others as much they can, but an impact on a large scale is only possible through government's implications and control of the prices. That's another whole thing to talk about.
Today is my 2nd last day of this writing challenge and I'm already missing it. Topic is " future book". Today I'm gonna write a paragraph which might be part of my future book. Aniko used a very reliable analogy to understand the importance of small ideas. It was like, to drive at night you only need those headlights, which makes you see 2 to 3 meter ahead of you, and it's enough to keep going and reach your destination. That's the way writing a book can be. You can write paragraphs about the things like, then you might have a whole story to write about. As a literature student, I'm destined to read, read and write, write. I cannot deny it, I don't either want to. I'm may be not a good reader, but I'm trying to improve and that would certainly pay off one day.
So getting onto topic:
" I wish I could fly, and see what feels like to get tired of flying. May be as we get tired of walking. I wish to see what's behind while looking forward, but that might be for our own good. I wish I could walk on ocean, but then who would have dived to know the beauty of the depths. I wish I could see myself through anothers' eyes, but that would make me lose my own point of view. I wish I could change my past, but how would have I learned through the experiences.
Certainly! How it is, it is in its best form. Nothing needs to be changed". Hold fast to it dear!
That's all I could come up with. Do let me know if you have any plans for writing a book.
Next and last trigger for writing is" 4 scenes". It actually not a trigger just for tomorrow rather we can carry it on every single day. Here Aniko gave reference of somebody else's workshop in which he asked to complete 4 notebooks in a semester. Here what is required is to divide a page into 4 portions and write any 4 scenes which caught your attention.
Okay peers that was all for today.
Stay blessed.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Time Capsule" Day#28 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
How are you guys! I'm anticipating your life full of happiness and heart full of peace. Today I'm feeling a bit low, because there was a lot to catch up on the Sunday. There were some pending readings as well as some recorded lectures to listen. All day already spent on my phone, and yet I'm not done with everything till now. And maybe I would be sleeping like after 2 hours. At start when I found this challenge, I was quite at ease at posting here on readcash, as finding topics to write on is a hectic thing and here I had a complete package of exciting and creative topics to write about. Now I'm a bit worried about that, because I'm almost done with my challenge. For that I would like to hear some of your suggestions. And on my part I have started noting down the things which I would talk about on upcoming days.
Well today is the 28th day of writing for 30 days challenge and trigger for writing is "time capsule". Here make yourself feel as if you are preparing a time capsule which is supposed to be opened after 500 years. What I have got to do, is to write a letter about the life of today. Things which you think might be no more till then.
So here's what I got:
09-04-2023
" Hello my future generation! I hope you are doing better than us. Today's life is a bit hybrid for us. We have just entered into a world of technology, where magic is happening every second. And part of us is still living on those open fields and want to make connections with nature. So for us it's not possible to differentiate ourselves as if we are really a generation of technology or a generation with the nostalgia of our simpler past life. May be it's because we remember how it was, till you, that would be like fairy tale. Rural areas would extinct may be. Humanity is quite confused at this point. Because a simple natural thing is made so complex now, that it has started to lose its sense. We are like in a rat race, in a race of good grades, in a race of looking good or more precisely, different from others. We now exploiting every single thing to boost our businesses. These hastings are making life less worth living. I hope you would be working on getting life on a better track. I know the rush and races would not decrease rather they would be at their optimum, but I request you to take first small steps to make world worth living. Spare your time and appreciate little things. The money which is destined for you, would be yours no matter what. But never make, making money goal of your life. Though all this still needs to be remembered even today, but I think your era would need it the most.
I wish for you a life of happiness and prosperity. May God bless you."
Okay guys that was all. And is my honest opinion of today's world. What do think, is there anything you want to add? Do let me know.
Next trigger for writing is"future book". Now here Aniko asks to write a paragraph of your book which you might have or might not have yet planned to write in future, but you can write paragraphs and connect them into a form of a book. You can make a try. I think here Aniko is giving courage to go the broader picture.
That is all for today. See ya tomorrow!
Stay blessed.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Map of sounds and smells" Day#27 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
How's you people! I hope you are all having great days and enjoying well being of yourself and your family. Nowadays my study routine is getting a bit hectic! And it's difficult to study while fasting but it's also kind of a test for humans and it's worth doing!
Today is the 27th day of writing for 30 days challenge and the trigger is "map of sounds and smells". Here Aniko asks to go for a walk and look for the smells you feel around, and the sounds you hear. Be an explorer, and see your surroundings with an eye of an alien who is seeing/observing everything for the first time.
Fortunately we happened to go out to our relatives home. We didn't visit any of their home since the start of the Ramadan, and decided to have a walk too. Actually, their house is quite outside the dense population of our village, that's why it took almost 20-25 minutes to reach there.
Sounds:
I was trying my best to pay heed to the sounds on the whole way.
You might know that people in villages have open houses and the sounds can be easily heard from the outside. Initially, when we were in the narrow and wider streets I heard people who were sitting in their lawns, gossiping and chatting, as usually people do after iftar(breaking fast). Their gossip was filled with happiness, and they seemed as if they all had been away their homes all day or could not got the time for siting together. And iftar time do provides us the opportunity to sit together. Some of them had put their TVs outside and listening to the news with a high Volume.
When we got out of the streets a little bit, we started to loose sounds of humans, then started the sounds of the hoppers and cattles which were not settled yet. As when we were about to reach their home, it was already time of ishaa prayer(night prayer time) and the sounds of azaan were coming from all directions. Hearing azaan in an open area gives goosebumps. And it is a never experienced one.
Smells:
As you can guess that it's Ramadan, and it is the time when everyone test their cooking skills. There are variety of foods cooked.
When we were still in th the streets, we easily smelled different dishes. Though the cooking was over but the fragrance of the food was still hanging in the air. There were some cattle outside the houses, there was also smell of their waste.
While getting outside the village, the fragrance of flowers of orange plants coming from a farm was refreshing the air. I'm really in love with the fragrance of orange flowers. I think it is the most underrated flower, never heard anyone talk about it.
So that was all peers. I would love to hear from you, that have you ever been out, observing nature with full consciousness!
Next trigger for writing is "time capsule". Here Aniko asks to write about the life of today, and put inside a time capsule which would be read after 50 years. So try to write about life of today, what you think would end in coming 50 years, and give any advice that you want to convey.
That was all comrades! I hope you enjoyed reading.
Stay blessed 💝.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Clothes" Day#26 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
How are you all! I hope you would having a great time, in living and enjoying with your loved ones. By the way, Ramadan is going sooo well, today the summer started to show its glimpses. The sun started shining with same glare. It's part of life, seasons change to make life beautiful and progressive.
Well today is the 26th day of writing for 30 days challenge and the topic is "clothes". Aniko asked to write the story about the clothes you are wearing right now. I usually don't buy much clothes. In use them a lot of care that they feel like they are new for a quite long time. This is the only thing my mother praises me for 😌. And I don't wear new clothes when I'm home, this saves them from a lot of damages. I look like a broke or homeless person in daily routine 😂.
Here is the story of the ones which I'm wearing right now;
As the Muslims can relate that today was Friday, and it's sunnah( practice) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to wear white dress on this holy day. So usually men wear white kameez and shalwar. But I didn't had have plain white dresses, so I had a dress with white trouser, yellow shirt and yellow+white dupata( head cover). As it is not that cold, we have started wearing loan(a light summer stuff).
Actually my brother had bought this dress for my sister last year, but later on we exchanged it, because she liked one of my other dress, I liked her's too😁. I have just wore it for few times, and it is customary to wear new dresses(not necessarily new but clean) on Fridays of Ramadan. It is so good to see everyone in nice and decent dresses on Fridays. This day is like a special occasion for us. I think Friday is also scared for many other religions in the world.
So the dress is really nice and comfortable. I'm not wearing anything in my feet as I'm laying in my coasy bed. Though I'm wearing bangles in my arm. Which I have bought from an aunt who sells them in the houses where there is wedding. I really love wearing them. Okay guys that is all I'm wearing.
Well peers, I'm done what I'm wearing, I would love to hear from your side too.
Next trigger for writing is" map of sounds and smells". Aniko asked to go for a walk and the use your 2 senses which are sometimes used less, of hearing and smell, then document what you observed. Think of yourself to be an explorer, who pays attention to the details which are easily ignored. You can use any method for this trigger, you are free to draw maps or illustrate in your own way.
Okay guys, see you tomorrow!🌸💮🌼🌷🌺💐
Stay blessed! 💕
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Invent" Day#25 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are doing great. I'm so happy that I have completed the challenge till this day. I think I would miss it too. But let's get hopeful for the upcoming best things.
Today is the 25th day of writing for 30 days challenge and trigger for writing is invent. It is quite interesting one. Here Aniko asks to write about the topic you have no knowledge of. Just select a topic and create your own world of fascination. This is thing which I like most about this challenge because it takes me to a another world just by laying on my bed, a world of my own creations.
So let's dive into our trigger!
What happens to the fresh water fishes when they enter into ocean water?
As we all know the rivers ultimately merged with oceans. And the make up of fresh water fishes is different from the ocean water ones. Fresh water have less proportion of salts as compared to oceans. Likewise the fishes and the animals living in their also have difference, and it is not only impossible but can be fatal for the fresh water fishes to live in oceans. So the question arises how do they survive?
The answer is, when the river gets closer to the Ocean, the proportion of salt starts to change. And along with that the life within the water slowly adapts itself to it. This gradual change causes them to fully transform into the ocean fishes. This adaption to the environment is life saver for them.
Okay dudes I think that's enough of making up thing🤭. Guys don't believe in it, it's just what I could come up with. I knew nothing about it, and that was what I was asked to write about.
Next trigger for writing is"clothes". Write the story about the clothes your wearing at the time of writing. Write in detail, describe their story even before they came into your hands.
Okay peers the was all.
Till tomorrow 👋.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Someone who is no longer there💌" Day#24 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you're all doing great. Alhumdulillah the weather on our side is getting too well, rains are often nowadays. I'm scared of thunders, I consistently pray to Allah for a peaceful rain 🌧️. No thunders! I'm feeling a little bit lazy, and quite not in a mood for any brainstorm. But when you accept challenge you have to be consistent. And I will, insha'Allah.
Today is the 24th day of writing for 30 days challenge and the trigger is "someone who is no longer there". It's about writing a letter to your loved one whom you lost, and still you want to have a conversation with them, talk about events. Aniko said a really loving thing that when you are writing general like we are all writing here, we usually don't know our audience and we have to take care about the facts we are presenting. But while writing a letter to the person, you don't have to be much conscious, they know the context of the events you are talking about. And I personally miss this letter writing tradition, I really want to revive it, but there's no one who can match such vibes with me.Our maternal grandmother used to write letters and send cards to us on Eid or at any other occasion.
So if I talk about to whom I would write a letter, I was a bit confused today, because I have lost no one in my life( except my 7 days old niece). Then I decided to write to my late grandfather, who is a all time role model for me. I wish I could've met him but he died when my father was like 17 years of age. I think I might had a good bond with him. We have also preserved one of his letters he wrote to my father. It is a 2 page long letter, written in pure and sweet Urdu. Reading that letter feels like I'm listening to him. I have not seen him, but we have his one picture.
So let's compose a letter to him:
(As I have told you that I'm also writing this challenge on one of my diaries, the letter here might not have much personal information).
5-3-2023
To , my loving and graceful father!
" I hope you are enjoying the blessings and love of Allah up there. I wish I could have met you. But you went up there way before us. Your there with yet another graceful person, my grandmother. You know what I have seen her once in my dream. And still remember her face, although she left before you did. But the cool thing is you are again together 💮. You know everyone here needed you, i think one of you should have stayed here with us. We really needed an elder person in our family, who could have United us into a family. But now, it might hurt you too that how far we are from eachother. But after all, we are no one to question Allah's decisions, we surrender before him and we will always do.
You know, your those teens are now having large families of their own, with lots of grandchildren. You will be shocked to see how we have increased in number. From a family of 6 into 30 members. It's always great to see your generation increase. You would be shocked see my brother, he's doppelganger of you. There is alot we can talk about, but maybe we would do it in up there.
See you there soon😘. Really wanna hug you🫂.
Allah Hafiz.
From Your granddaughter."
It made me a little emotional. But that was all I could do. I miss him badly.
Next trigger for writing is "invent". In this trigger, Aniko gave a free hand, just choose something that fascinates you and write about it. Wildest of ideas are welcomed here! Just take a pen start writing.
Till then 👋
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"My Mom" Day#23 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all having great days, and may you have many more! Writing here is getting like a habit to me. When I have to do something I specially have to spare time for it, but for writing here has become just like having a meal. I have dedicated the time after iftar( breaking fast) for it, coz after eating I become energised which helps me do a better job.
So today is 23rd day of writing for 30 days challenge and the trigger is " my mom" (in fact it was " your mom", as I was suppose to write about my mom so I replaced it). Aniko asked to tell about the things which you got from your mom and you were shocked when you realised.
So let's get started!
In my childhood I use see my friends looking exactly like their parents, and wonder to whom I resemble. I remember that one day, my mom(actually I her "Ami g!")'s uncle visited our village after a very long time. I was playing in the street, he stopped me asked are your my niece's daughter. I was shocked to hear that, how did he knew that who I was? We had never met before. I was chubby in my childhood, but as I grew, I got skinnier.
One day, we were looking through all the old pictures of my family and when I saw my ami's pictures ( in which she was almost 19 or 20 years) I was baffled, that how similar we are!
For the last couple of months I have been facing a serious hair loss, and mother already lost her. I was joking with her that I have completed the gap between us! Even our line of hair loss is similar😂.
Along with her beauty, I have also inherited some of the diseases. It is some kind of allergy from detergents, or may be if it is allergy at all most of doctors could not identify. The last doctor which is visited gave me the medicines which reduces it, but it is even not completely cure yet. It's been almost 3 years. The most interesting thing is my mother also inherited it from my grandmother. May Allah give her health!
The personality trait which I inherited from is spending less and saving more. When I was a kid,I was inspired by my father, who is a very generous and open hearted man, I use to think that I would be exactly like my father. But guess what, when I started getting my money I spend it so less that my brother, who is actually like my father, was confused that how can you save that much. I think it is good to save but sometimes I want to spend the way my father and brother do.
It's amazing to be like your parents, who have always been your role model. And I think every child is destined to be like them, as they are not only seeing them but also absorbing unconsciously.
Okay peers that was all.
Next trigger for writing is"someone who is no longer there". Aniko asks to write a letter to the person who you have lost in your life. Write the events you wanted to tell them, or the potential conversation you could have with them. That's a way of connecting to your lost loved ones.
Okay guys, let me know if you share any trait with your parents!
Stay blessed!
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Internal Monologue" Day#22 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all enjoying yourselves. Ramadan is going so well, alhumdulillah. Before Ramadan, I saw a video on YouTube, in the video a fine man was talking about recitation of Qur'an in this holy month of Ramadan. He was asking to recite even more you did in your last Ramadan, as may be this could be your last. Last time I could only do it only once, due to my university schedule. But this this I'm hoping to do it twice, or at least 1 and half.
Well today is the 22nd day of writing for 30 days and today's topic is internal monologue. Being a literature student we are taught about it. It's basically a talk in which there is no recipient and sender, rather you yourself is both. We differentiate it from "di- logue" a talk between 2 people and " "mono- logue" a conversation of one person to one's own self.
Aniko had asked to write about the internal monologue I have while writing. I really can't figure out where to start. And how to write it but let's see what can do about it.
" You should sit while using mobile and right now you're laying like a sloth, and then complain all day about neck pain and bump at the back of your neck. O my God my eyes hurt a lot, especially the place between them. I think I should get more sleep. Or I should see remedies on YouTube for eye sages and dark circles. My circles are not even dark they are purple 🤭. Ya Allah it's raining outside, please don't make it a rain with loud and violent thunders, you know really well how much I'm scared of it, Please, Please. I think you were suppose to write about the writing, but here you wandering off, and oscillating from one thought to other. There is always this battle of "clear" and "m" key on keyboard, whenever I had to press "m" the letter before it gets deleted and when I had to delete something, then there occurs a huge line of "mmmm", I think it happens to everyone, but it's really annoying, isn't it? I have kept some "channa chat" ( a chickpea dish, Pakistanis and Indians can relate, googled to get the English name for channa😁) to eat later, as eating it right after iftar hurts stomach a lot. Alright I think that is enough of this rolercoaster of thoughts."
Along with that monologue I had a lot of distractions, like just skip it for today and write it later or just check your what's app for sec or scroll some shorts on YouTube. But I didn't listen to my "procastination self" and nowadays I'm trying to control it.
Okay peers that was all I could come up with.
Next trigger is "your mom". There is a moment in one's life when you realize that you're exactly like your mom. The things you used to think typical of her, are now becoming part of your personality. Her way of getting upset, ordering someone to do something or complain in the same way. Aniko asks to describe any of that moment. I hope that would work fine.( Or you can write about your dad, up to you).
Okay guys, let me know if you could relate yourself to all the stuff described above.
Stay blessed 💕!
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"These are my Roots" Day#21 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope for your better health and better future. Alhumdulillah, Ramadan is going so well. Weather is so pleasant. It is quite miraculous because usually there are no rains in April, in Pakistan, and particularly rain🌧️ with such a cold weather.
Today is 21st day of writing for 30 days challenge, and today's trigger for writing is "these are my roots". To tell about the roots of your life to your future self. About events which marked your life, the place you lived.
Let's see what I can come up with.
" These are my roots"
Written on: 2, April, 2023
"Hey girl, I know that you are excelling in what you are doing. But let me tell you something which I think you need to remind yourself, so you may not become an haughty and egotistic person.
Let me remind you of your school, where you studied your first five classes. That was not even a school building, rather a house under construction. Without sufficient classrooms, you studied under plant shades. Each black portion of the wall was black board for you, which denoted the direction of class. Rainy days used be a huge challenge, as the doors and windows were missing, there was no barrier to resist the outside weather. You should understand that those lack of facilities never mattered in your life till now, niether they're gonna do in future. But what you learned from there, how you spent your time there with your friends does matter and it would continue to do till last day. You should also make yourself happy, by remembering those days when you used to collect contribution from all and celebrate birthday parties. And those were the purest celebration you would ever have in your life.
The building of that school has now been transformed into a beautiful house. A house with every facility you lacked then, but what you didn't lack was the quality of time and the learning. I don't even have a picture of it to show you, nor I can visit it to meet my juniors. That school has completely been closed, but you have to always keep it open in your heart, to make yourself grateful about your progress. At first you studied there, then into a institution where now thousands are waiting to get admission, now in a system which is ranked highest in your country and I believe that right now you're doing even greater things. Just stay connected to your roots, because the strength of the bark cannot fight with the storms, rather the depth and strength of roots makes you champion against resistance.
To open on: 20-6-2030
That was all peers. I hope that I would be alive till the opening time, to read it again. I have also marked a reminder in my calendar( in hopes to get it on right time).
Next trigger for writing is"internal monologue". Now Aniko asks to write about the thoughts you experience during the process of writing. Just don't plan it ahead, keep you hands ready and when you do so, what your mind says just note it down. That might be a incoherent piece of writing. But I cannot predict it ahead. Let's check together what we get for tomorrow!
Stay blessed!🌺🌸🌼💮💐🌷🌻
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Place" Day#20 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all enjoying your healthy life and time with your family. Today we are going to enter in the 3rd half of 30 days challenge of writing. And the other important thing, first ashra(10 days) of Ramadan is over today. It's going too fast.
Today's trigger of writing is" place" . A place, where I love the most to spend time.
There is dam in our village, which was an unsuccessful government project, yet it benefits the people living around it. It is outside our village. It almost takes 1 hour of walk and 15 minutes on car. There are not more than 4-5 houses, which are situated at long distance. There is a guest house too. A lot of people visit it, especially on Eids. We have a selected spot there, where we always go for some picnic time.
There's a small hill there, whenever we go there, we race to reach the top of it. The top that small hill is very small, approximately 10 feet long and 4 feet wide.
This is the view from the top of it. The view is spectacular. We can see the whole dam from there. As it's an open area, the wind above there is even stronger than on the plain area. Even in summer, the air is humid and cool. The silence and tranquility gives you the opportunity to be in touch with nature. Different birds visit it seasonally, which add to it's beauty. I personally sit alone and stare at the distant horizon for a long a time, away from the world.
There are less natural water bodies on our side. There's just a river here, which is at a large distance to our village. This dam compensates! This is a best family picnic site I know.
So guys here we will end today's topic. I hope you enjoyed reading. Let me know if you have any of your favourite place which you love the most.
Next trigger for writing is "root". Aniko asks to write a letter to your future self. Basically you have take paper, write about your roots, the place where you spent your childhood or any place where you used to live, but never returned there. Tell your future self about your roots. The format should be like:
" These are my roots"
Written on: -----------( today's date)
To open on: -----------( the day you want)
Okay peers! I would love to hear response from your side!
Stay blessed!
Bye-bye! 👋🌃

"Morning Rituals" Day#19 of writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I'm anticipating your well being, happy life and many more blessings to come. Aniko was right that 30 days can create a habit, because now I'm getting used to it, in expressing what I usually don't share with anyone. I'm really grateful to you guys for reading my stuff with an open heart and ofcourse to @TheRandomRewarderfor encouragements.
Today is 19th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today's trigger of writing is " morning rituals", 5 things I do right after I wake up in the morning.
These are my morning rituals;
When I was in boarding, our housegirl used to wake us up and in the home my Ami, but as I grew up I started using alarm( when adulthood hits hard). I usually wake up between 5:15-5:30 am, but due to Ramadan we are all waking up at 3:00am for suhr( meal before sunrise). Prayer is the first thing I do in my normal routine. There are some days when I could even not hear the sound of alarm and sometimes gets late or miss prayer, but I always try to recover it.
After prayer, I read Qur'an. I have set a goal of reading ruku( passage) every day with translation. I really feel guilty for neglecting such a blessing, which should get our attention the most. I try to read it and apply it to my life. Try to remember what I read.
I try not to use mobile phone right after waking up, instead I use it after performing prayer and reading Qur'an. I check for any update regarding our class, or just any stuff. And try not to prolong it.
After that if I'm in my village I again go to sleep, usually till 9:00am. Or if I'm in my city home where just me and my brother live, I wake up around 7:30am.
After another shot of sleep, I make my breakfast ( because in village other family members don't sleep after prayer and they are done with their breakfast right after it) or also for my brother when I'm in the city.
I know the major thing I'm missing is, reading or writing habit. I want to include them in my morning routine. And I have already talked about having a dream notebook to note down dreams I see everyday ( I'm passionate about that, and I will start it soon).
So that was all peers! I hope you enjoyed reading. Do tell me about the things you do in your morning.
Next writing trigger is "place". Aniko asks to write about the place you love the most, describe it's details so the reader could understand why you love it. I can be any place your bedroom, neighborhood restaurant's table or just anywhere. Describe how it feels to be there.
Okay guys! See ya tomorrow!
Stay blessed!
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Bursts and Ruptures" Day#18 of writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all having having excellent days. Now my schedule is getting a little tight as my classes are resumed. I'm tired now after having 2 long sessions. But anyways I cannot leave behind my challenge.
Today is the 18th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today I'm gonna tell you about 4 things I broke: a heart, a law, a bone and a promise. O my God, it feels like I'm going to write a confession.
Let's see what I have to tell you:
A Heart: I really try my best not break someone's heart. But I did once. There was one of my roommates, a nice girl. We use to take care of eachother. One day I was feeling off, and she was teasing me a lot. I said something harsh and after that she stopped talking to me. Then I apologized her by giving her a treat. I think friends are the only ones who can forgive you as nothing had happened. I really regret doing that but I'm happy that I had apologize and accepted my mistake.
A Law: I'm not really into practical life, that I could break a government law. But I did broke a lot, like a lot of rules in my school. Like bunking classes, using paths which were not permitted and sneaking food out of mess hall( it was not allowed, but we used to take our leftover to our rooms to have it later).
A Bone: Now I was not that spoiled that I would break someone's bone 😂. But I did hurt one of my fingers during basketball matches. People who play basketball or any such game can relate how ball hits top of your finger, ends space between joints and swells up fingers. Our coach used to fix that, but in our last year his tenure was over and that when I got that last unattended injury.
A Promise: That's quite disappointing! I had always promised my parents that I would be doctor when I would grow up( dream of every Asian parents!😂). But really I had worked for it, but I couldn't fulfill it.😔 But now I'm doing my best to excel in what I'm doing now.
So guys, my confessions are over. Let me know if you have done any such thing.
Next trigger for writing is "morning rituals". Aniko asks to write about the first five thing you do when you wake up in the morning, whether you check your phone, take tea, write a journal or read a book.
Okay peers! Take care of yourself ❣️.
Stay blessed.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Something not" Day#17 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I'm anticipating your good health and all well in your life. The weather is getting quite cold even in March and now it's the start of the April. Rains are frequent, quenching the thirst of the crops and making our fasting easy.
Today is 17th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today's slogan for writing is " something not". Yesterday I was unable to open the page due to some network issue, I could not get and inform you earlier the instructions regarding the trigger for writing. So "something not" meant something you don't like to do. Describe with the essential details and reasons for not liking. There would be a lot people who would agree me that going to weddings when you become adult becomes the most awful thing. Some aunties come to home and invite to wedding with such love that one cannot deny.
Now here are the things which makes me feel like this:
Choosing a dress is another huge thing. This suite is too heavy, this one is too simple, I have already wore it in one of the other functions, just save this one for other important functions.... And list of questions keeps on. My mind keeps changing till the last minute.
Make up is another hallmark. What I do, I apply some cream and go in sun and check it whether it being obvious or not. And 99 percent of times, I remove it and I just end up applying lipstick and brown eyeshadow. I don't struggle much making my hair, I just make my signature bun.
The other thing which I don't like is going there and greeting each and every person, whether I know them or not. And the most embarrassing part is , if I'm sitting a seat away from my Ami, everyone comes and greet her and leave my hand hanging in the air, as I have spent most of the time out of village due to my studies people usually don't recognize me. Literally it breaks my heart every time 🙂.
The other thing about being an adult and going to marriage is, what are supposed to do there. You are no more that child who used to play with friends, running around. And I also don't have much friends here in my village.
I think it's enough of complaining.😂
Next trigger of writing is " breaks and ruptures". Aniko asks to write 4 different paragraphs for the times you broke a heart, a bone, a law and a promise. That's interesting!
Okay guys I hope you liked reading.
Stay blessed!
Bye-bye 👋🌃.

"Imaginary Climate" Day#16 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all doing great in your lives, and being strong enough to face challenges ☺️🌼🌻. Today is the 16th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today's trigger for writing is "imaginary Climate".
In this slogan, Aniko asked to write about the climate of your imaginary world. It can as weird as you could think. Just free yourself from rationalities.
This is how climate of my imaginary world looks like:
My world has a vast infinite land. The water there in replaced by a liquid which is like a never seen one. This liquid adapts itself according to the entity it contacts. And it can even detect what kind of taste a person wants to have. It is the only liquid which runs in streams and rivers and enjoys calmness of oceans. This is the only one which transpires from plants, forms clouds just above that tree and showers. Each and every plant has its own cycle of rain. Like everyone wait for a fruit to ripe, people also wait for the plant to make its cloud heavy enough to rain. After rain tree is surrounded by rainbow 🌈, cylindrically. We can actually pass through the rainbow. When some trees have rainbow together, it becomes the most spectacular view. There are some plants whose ATPs are so strong that their energy can be felt in air around it. People with fever can easily get energy from it, and gain health. Roses 🌹there, are so big that they actually can be used to sit on it and gossip. Their fragrance soothes the soul deep into it each and every corner. The nectar of the the roses keeps pouring, which is commonly used as a party drink. There are fountains of snow. Which 24/7 and produce the fluffiest snow ever known. This world is utopia, indeed.
I think now we should turn ourselves to reality,enough imaging for today😂. I hope you enjoyed reading.
I could load the page, so let's keep tomorrow's trigger a surprise! I also don't know anything about it. It just says "something not" but the instructions are not opening. So let's see what we get.
Till tomorrow!🌹🌻🌷💐
Stay blessed.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Dogs" Day#15 of writing for 30 Days
Continued:
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all doing well. Yesterday was 15th day of writing for 30 days challenge and I was talking about dogs. Last night I posted about 10 dogs that I have encountered in my life. If you haven't read previous article, just do, you will enjoy.☺️
Getting on to our slogan:
I wil talk about an image of the memory about the dog, which we had in our home. We had named it " Moti"( pearl). That small white fluffy dog used to live beside a wooden room, where we had for our goat. Our home has changed a little bit, at at that time it was on the right side of our house. I would describe the image as;
It was Ramadan and we were preparing iftar. I was in 6th grade, I guess. I was standing in front of our corridor. It was almost an half hour before maghrib ( sunset). We had sprinkled water in our lawn, due to which the environment was cool and enriched with smell of soil. On my left were our fruit plants, orange 🍊 and falsa(sherbet berry). On my right was our place where we used to laundry. And Bellow me was the marble floor, and above me was sky😂. At front was main gate of our home and at the back were our main place where we live.
So these were the answers to the questions+ description of the image I had in my mind.
The scene was, that we were arranging all iftar food in our lawn and Moti broke his chain and ran towards us, I got so scared that instead of securing food I got into room and locked myself.
So that was pretty short, but if had added it to previous article, it would have become overwhelmed.
Next Aniko asks to write about the the weather of your imaginary world. Just think of an another world with different weather patterns, it can be different, unlike earth, for example rain from trees or just anything.
Stay blessed.
Bye-bye 👋.
"Dogs" Day#15 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all safe and sound. Today was 5th Ramadan, half ashra has completed. It's going so fast🥺. May Allah allow us to be productive in Ramadan.
Today is the 15th day of writing for 30 days challenge. I have made through half of it 🤗. Thanks for the support 😊. So guys we are gonna talk about dogs🐕. There are people who classify as cat persons or dog persons. But honestly I'm into both. In fact, I love them all.
Aniko first asked to write about any 10 dogs that you had interacted in your life. And then pick one of the dogs, recall a image of you and the dogs. And answer the the questions which I mentioned in previous article. And then just randomly start writing about that dog. Actually this trigger is an exercise to remember details from your memory. I don't think I would make up to 10 dogs but let's see!
Here we go:
A dog that chased me at night, when I was like 7 years old.
A dog in the home next to our school. Everyone there in the school was scared of it, because it use to chase everyone on the road.( And it also chased me one day).
Three small puppies which were brought by my Ami, from the place where everyone used to throw garbage. I think their mother was dead, or the owner of mother might have thrown them there. We tried to treat all of them, but one of them could not make it🥺. We kept them for couple of days in our home and later freed them. They made it to live a normal life.
We also had a small white dog, with pink nose and large hair. That was a really cute one. We bought it when it was 4 days old and kept it for almost more then a year. But we had give it to someone else because there was less place in our home.
One day when I was coming back to home from our milk place. A dog started staring at me and stood still in the middle of street. I into a room, which opened on the street and there was no to help me. And the again came and stood there for another time. I gathered my and acted like as if I'm going to pick something from ground. When it saw, it immediately ran away. That was a another pretty scarry encounter.🙃
When I was approximately 10-11 years old when we're playing at my friend's house. I knew they had a dog but was not aware of the exact place of it. We were chasing eachother and without any knowledge I passed by dog's home and it grabbed my staler. I in a hurry just pulled it out of it's mouth. When I realized what just happened I was pretty scared, what if I passed a little closer to it, it would have definitely harmed me.
A family living on the upper story had a dog named "Nimo". That was a really friendly dog. I had most pleasant experience with any of the other dogs. But someone stole it. I really miss him.
There was a street dog in our farm house. We used to feed her. She lived there for a long period, and gave birth to puppies many times but we found her dead one day, with her 3 puppies.
In the the street of our home in city, there is a German shepherd. We often see it when we pass by it in our car. One day we were out for a walk at night and it suddenly appeared right in front of us. We took a sharp U-turn and came straight to our home without looking back.
When we went to river beside our village ( which I mentioned in one of my previous articles), my brothers took a dog for hunting. It was a heightened and strong dog, with a pretty high speed. But my brothers could hunt much that day.
I think it's getting too long. We are just done with one of our parts of today's slogan and there is much to write. So for that I would insha'Allah get to you tomorrow. Let me know about any experience
Till then!🌼🌻💐
Bye-bye 👋🌃
"from back to front" Day#14 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are enjoying yourself. Finally today rain stopped and sun showed itself fully☀️. But rain is expected again in coming few days. My stomach is quite upset, as it's getting used to, to fasting. But soon it would be alright.
So guys, today is the 14th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today's trigger of writing is " from back to front". Narrating an event of my life in backwards. As if camera shows something in a reverse manner.
So let's just get into it:
"We were 5 people in the car. Traveling backward to our home in city. My brother arrived. Me and my elder sister were leaving him hugging and crying. Everyone was crying from deep pain in heart. I was standing next to Window, holding phone and talking to my brother who was in the hospital. I screamed for what I had heard on phone. My brother told me about the death of the my newborn niece. I could not find the words to describe what I was going to hear."
That was a traumatizing day of my, I had never cried with such pain before. And I could not imagine what pain my brother and sister-in-law had, loosing their first child.
So that was all about today's trigger. It was quite hard to write like that.
Next motto of writing is" dogs". Now Aniko refers to a book named " What it is" by Lynda Barry. And asks to remember 10 dogs that you have encountered through out your life. Choose one and then write about the image that you have in your mind of that particular one dog. And answer the question like, where you are? What is your age? What was the weather? What the air smelled like? What was to your left, right, above and below? Write in detail.
Stay blessed and enjoy fasting.🌙✨
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"me from the past" Day#13 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all having fun, and enjoying your life to the fullest. This March has turned into January here in Pakistan. I pray for the same weather in rest of the Ramadan.
So guys as you know, today is 13th day of writing for 30 days challenge and today I'm gonna write a letter to myself, telling what I needed to know.
Saturday 25-3-2023
To the 9th grade girl who always tries to be "the best" in everyone's life.
" Hey girl! I wanted to tell you about some really important matters. I know what you are going through. The struggles you made are not gonna known to anyone. So it's only you who have to appreciate yourself. Please don't get bothered by the people who don't care about you. Just cut off the ones who are using you for their benefits and then forget about you. You are so precious. Just don't make yourself that available for everyone.
Most importantly, never ever leave your those 2 friends, who are always there for you. Who never judge for anything you do, backing you in every situation. They will be only persons who will add happiness to you life.
Girl never quit your habits of reading stories, making art and playing basketball. These will be the only things you would carry up til now.
And at the end I would just say that your hard times would be rewarded. It's not as if I'm living a perfect life now, there are a lot things I'm struggling with. I think you were born to struggle and survive. Stay strong. And please start working on your crying problem, it's really annoying when you start crying in the middle of an argument."
Your truly sincere!
That was all peers!
Tomorrow's trigger for writing is " from back to front". Next Aniko asks to write an incident of your life in backwards. Like what happened in the end must be mentioned at the beginning, and for an example she told a story to read. The story was " Divine Madness" by Roger Zelazny. I tried to share it's link, but couldn't.
Well, hope you enjoyed reading.
Stay blessed and enjoy fasting!🥰
Bye-bye 👋🌃
"Object" Day#12 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all enjoying your fasting with the beautiful rain. In Pakistan, march is relatively hot month, but we are here regretting packing our warm stuff. But thank God for the rain, our wheat crop needed it the most. And yes, it has obviously made fasting much easy. By the way, Happy first Friday of Ramadan.
So guys, today is 12th day of writing for 30 days challenge, and today we are gonna talk about a random" object" in our home, its story and value to us. In fact, I would talk about more than one.
Here we go:
Old Fan: firstly I'm gonna take an old stand fan in our home. That fan belongs our grandfather. I don't know if still works, but we are keeping it as a memory or you can say as a vintage decoration piece. My father told us that it was one of first fans in our village ( and this is not the only advanced thing our grandfather had in that time). It's green in colour and greasy at some points. I'm certainly amazed by the collection it our grandfather.
Coins: Before formation of India and Pakistan, there used to live a lot of Hindus, they were all friendly neighbors. But after partition they left. Some of them gave their wealth as a amanat(to make someone trusty for something) and other buried. Some of them came back and took their wealth while others could not came back .When we were reconstructing our home, we found some coins while diging. And we still have them in our home. My brother really loves to have different currencies and that was a really good addition to his collection. We usually take them out, and it feels so precious to have them, gives vintage vibes.
Stones: at the west of our village there is Indus River( longest river of Pakistan). Its views are breathtaking. There is no population near it. Its beauty seems like hidden treasure. The way to get there is even difficult for cars, we usually borrow a wagon. And we have to walk for almost an hour to get near to water. We visit it in winters because in summer we need shadows and there are no trees at all near water. The most exciting thing there for me are the stones. They look like as if they are crafted by hands. My Ami usually scolds me for collecting so many of them on our way back to home, that it become difficult to carry the luggage ( ofcourse we had to take our own food there). On bringing them I polish them and then those stones are beautifully placed in one of our furniture. They fit together so well that as if they were already part of it.
That was all guys! I wish I had taken their photos, but unfortunately right now I'm away from home☹️. I hope you enjoyed reading.
Next trigger for writing is " me from past". Now Aniko asks to write a letter to your younger self, it might be to any age. A point in your life when an action changed you course of life. Just write to your XYZ age self and tell her what she needs to know.
Stay blessed! Enjoy fasting! Remember in your prayers!
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
" I remember" Day#11 of writing for 30 Days"
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you all did well on first day of this holiday month. It was quite unexpected because it was already announced that Friday would be 1st Ramadan, but around 11pm it was announced that today would be first Ramadan. Everyone out there is ironically criticizing the committee for late decision. People were like, "if they had waited a little more they would also seen sun along with moon" 😅.
As you all know that it's 11th day of writing for 30 days challenge and we have already started our second half of the challenge. Getting on to the topic, today's slogan is "I remember". I would start writing by using the these two words, and you can guess what it would be, a memory.
" I remember, yes I clearly do, the day when I first went to my boarding school. Saturday,20 April, 2013 I was really very excited that day. I had pretty long hair, so firstly in the morning my mom cut my hair short. I usually used to had short hair but I had started growing them in my 4th grade. Later I had to cut them short because I couldn't take care of them properly. Then I got ready. All my family members were quite sad at that time except me ( I was sad later that day, I realized what it means to stay away from the family), I was doing everything ahead. Packing my stuff, going everyone's home in my neighbor, greeting all the shopkeepers in my street( I have already told you guys that how famous I was in my neighborhood and around, the only child). Then I was asking my Ami and Abu that hurry up we are getting late, they were laughing at me that how excited I was. When I reached my school academic time was just off, we were taken to our deputy head's room, where I got a chance to meet my other fellows. Then we were directed to the hostels. There we first had our lunch, it was biryani ( a good start indeed).The is a 2 story building, each story was referred as a different house, and the heads of those houses were HMs( Head Mistress). I remember we were standing in rows, 2 HMs were selecting students for her house and one of the HMs moved forward and hold me from my shoulders and told me she's going to be in my house. I felt really special 😁. Then we went to our room. Our dorm number was 12. Its windows were at the backside of the school, which was an open area, we had a nice view indeed. Then we went for an orientation, one of our teachers attended us, we really had good time with her. Then to our surprise, it was a movie night. Our first movie was " Baby's Day out". We really enjoyed. But you can guess what, when we turned to our beds I had started missing my family very much. I had never slept alone, either with my elder sister or my Ami. So I really had that night hard."
All that suffering, living away from home, handling my own issues, taking care of my stuff, had made me what I never was. All that worthed it. I'm now in university, making my family and teachers proud with excellent grades😊. I hope Urdu speaking will understand:
سو بار عقیق کٹا
تب نگیں ہوا
And I think that "عقیق" is still in process.
That was all for today, I hope you didn't get bored with my story.
Next trigger of writing is " object". Now Aniko asks to choose an object from your home, write about it. Where it came from? How it get into your lives? What value it has to you and your family? etc. Objects might be same but the stories and meanings associated to them are personal.
Stay blessed!
Ramadan Mubarak! Remember in your prayers.
Bye-bye 👋🌃
Hey Readcashers!
Ramadan Mubarak🌜!
May you have a blessful and Mubarak Ramadan. Pray for everyone! Recite Qur'an frequently. Stay blessed! 🌃
"Announcement" Day#10 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you are all save and sound, having quality time. Today 1/3 of our writing for 30 days challenge is completed. I was not expecting even this from myself. And I'm really thankful for your support 😊.
Today's trigger of writing is "announcement", writing about a thing which you want to invent and ask other people to buy it.
"The thing which I invented ( just saying hypothetically)is a camera which fits into our eyes and it captures everything you want, in a fraction of second. With the resolution and perfection you see."
This is how I would make announcement about my very own product.
" Hello our dear customers, guess what, we have a reality of your dream. Yes you're right. It's "OPTICAL CAMERA 📷". It is not as usual as you think. It is the time to get rid of the those old methods, which causes the missing of moments you regret not capturing. You can capture a pair of birds feeding their baby, a deer you just saw and it ran away the next moment. All that happens with a double blink of your eyes. So what are you waiting for, early orders are out, on 10% discount. We are always here, turning your dreams into reality, stay tuned."
O my God! That was so businessy paragraph 😂. We studied a business course and I think it worked on me😂.
Next Aniko asks to write by using "I remember" in the beginning and start writing about anything you have in your memory, even if it happened 5 minutes ago, anything that is not in the present moment is a memory. Just follow the flow, keep writing whatever comes to your mind. Even if you don't remember something, just start as " I don't remember". I think it's kind of stream of consciousness type trigger.
Well that was all for today. See you tomorrow ☺️💕.
Bye-bye 👋🌃
I hope you are fine. Just felt shockwaves. Let us pray for the safety of our loved ones. Ramadan is ahead, may Allah allows us to enjoy the spiritual cleansing and freshness of this montg. Keep reciting Astaghfirullah!
"Falling in Love" Day#9 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
Expecting happiness in your life. Today was Nowruz, a cultural day which is celebrated at the beginning of spring and considered as a start of new year. The spring which rejuvenates everything. Happy Nowruz🌹🌺🌸💮🏵️🌻🌼🥀🌷💐.
And guess what, today I reached 100+ views of my articles, my very first achievement in the first week of using readcash❤️.
As you all know that today is 9th day of writing for 30 Days challenge and today's topic is falling in love. This is point where I cannot deliver anything because believe me I've never been in love. Yes I do love my lord, my family, but Aniko asked to write about the romantic love, to relive the moment you first fell for someone. and the love the love which I have in my life are inbuilt they are not first sight neither on 10th. My apologies I'm not eligible for writing on this topic. I could not write on the topic but at least I did wrote something and is what matters.
So we will see what's trigger of writing for tomorrow. So the trigger is "announcement". Aniko asks to make an ad for a thing that does not exist, but you want it. It could be anything i.e. a window that changes views of outside or a perfect taste detector. A thing you want to introduce and sell. But how you're gonna sell it? How would you convince people to buy it? Write about that!
So see you then! Take care!
Just felt the earthquake, may Allah keep you save and protected.
Bye-bye 👋🌃.
"Out of Frame" Day#8 of Writing for 30 Days
Hello Readcashers!
I hope you had a gorgeous day 🥰. Today is 8th day of writing for 30 days challenge. And today's motto of writing is out of Frame.
In this article I would describe some characteristics of an image which are not being depicted explicitly within the frame. Aniko said "Images have power to freeze an instant but they always leave an unknown", and today we're gonna pay heed to those unknown entities.
As I'm quite into art, I could not resist myself to choose a painting.
This image is from a Twitter page, which uploads famous paintings of different artists. I usually save them on my phone( with the hope that some day I would recreate them in my own way) and I also save artists name along with that, but I missed the name of artist of this painting. I didn't read about the context or analysis of this painting. So what I'm gonna write here is purely my own opinion.
Now let's get to the main point to be discussed. The unknown!
"The cycle of sun has started to descend. The cool breeze is refreshing everyone from body to soul. Everyone is seen wearing a light sweater. The birds are now preparing to get to their homes. This freshness of the environment encouraged artist to stand there for a while and capture the scene with his/ her brush. The greenery of image shows the peace and calmness of the mind of painter. The painter had struggles to get to the place for the finest view. It seems like Painter had some rest on the chair before finally deciding to capture it. The chair symbolises a spectrum of things but it lies within the frame so we are not gonna include it in our writing. The details show that the painter took the painting back, then finish it, maybe by coming there again or just from memory. Indeed the calmness of this painting travels to the soul. Pure aesthetic!"
Okay peers that was all I could come up with. Next Aniko asks to right about first time you fell on love (omg what's this?), the details of that falling moment. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this.
Well see you tomorrow ☺️!
Bye-bye 👋🌃
"in 6 Words" Day#7 of writing for 30 Days
Hello Readcashers!
I hope you are all doing well ☺️. Today is 7th day of writing for 30 days and today's topic is "in 6 words", a story in six words. So it's gonna be a little hard. Aniko said: once Hemingway was asked to write a story in just six words, and the resultant story was; "On sale: baby shoes, never worn". As we can interpret literature on the basis of our own background knowledge, and point of views. This 6 word story can be about a shop offering baby shoes which were given to them by a couple who had a child but couldn't see their child wearing those shoes. Or you can have other interpretations. In 2006, SMITH magazine challenged their readers and writers to write their memoirs and journals in 6 words, and this resulted with the book named " Not quite what I was planning. Six-word memoirs by writers famous and obscure".
So all this shows that a story, an experience, a thought can be expressed in 6 words. It's a quite difficult task to do. It would require to have a deep understanding of your life or any story you read and then choose right words for expression.
So I would go with:
" I never decided, but I did"
Here are some other 6 word stories;
" He was the one, I wasn't".-Cathy Colinson
"I thought we had more time". - Joe Hill
" I still make coffee for two". - Zak Nelson
Next slogan is " out of the frame". In this Aniko says to take a picture, a picture which is new to you or maybe interests you most. Just take it and try to imaginatively answer few questions like, what was going in the photo?, Who took this photo?, What are the circumstances?, What happened after taking photo and what happened before few seconds of taking the photo?, Etc.
That was all for today! Today's writing seems quite short to me, maybe because of the nature of the writing trigger. Well, see you again ☺️!
Bye-bye 👋🌃
"Nightmare" Day#6 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I hope you would be excelling in your lives or if otherwise try to take keeping small steps but never give up🌱. Today is 6th day of writing for 30 Days and today's topic is Nightmare.
According to Aniko, nightmare are powerful, they condense everything that scares us. She says sometimes you have bad dreams like if someone is trying to kill you or chasing you and you are trying to save yourself. You can easily forget about those dreams. But nightmares are different, they are the ones which repeat very often. They are the ones which impact your real life. Nightmares vary from person to person. And even they change from one to another as you grow up.
Here is my worst nightmare: I usually see that I'm out of breath, opening my mouth wide open to take in, as much air that I could and sometimes something gets stuck in my throat. And suddenly I start vomiting and along with that my front teeth start falling. When I find out that I have lost my teeth, I really get insecure about it. And it absolutely feels real(I usually know that what I'm seeing is a dream). It really effects my whole day. And due to fear of lose of teeth, I have started taking more care of them(lol).
And earlier to that I used to see that I'm falling from high places sometimes from bridges and other times from mountains. I always wake up with a fear. And it has made me afraid of heights.
This was today's writing. I would really want to know about your nightmare.
Next Aniko asks to write a story ( not a full length) in just 6 words. That seems hard! It can be a story that you read or story of your own life in just 6 words. You would be definitely have to be quite careful in choosing words!
Till then 👋
Bye-bye 🌃
Hey Readcashers!
As you know that to be good writer you have to be good reader. I'm working on improving my reading skills. I read nonfiction on daily basis and 3 to 4 times fiction in a week. I'm quite curious to know about you people, if any of you is working on reading or you have already mastered it, just let me know about your schedule and your techniques I comments. It would be great if you write an article on it and share it's link with me. I would love to read and learn from you.
See you soon!
bye-bye 👋
"Sleep" Day#5 of Writing for 30 Days
Hey Readcashers!
I'm back with another brand new piece of writing. Today is 5th day of writing for 30 Days and today's slogan is actually "sleep", but we're supposed to write about the dream we had last time.
I have a really good relationship with my dreams. When I'm going to sleep one thing which I'm always excited for, is dreams. Before going to sleep I always think that " so let's see what we're gonna do today!". Sometimes I wake up in the middle of dreams, then I immediately try to sleep to see what happens next, and it works sometimes, dream resumes from where it ended. When I was in highschool, I had always wanted to join army. And I remember that dreams of those days were all like fighting for the country ( and sometimes I used to die in it, or you can embrace martyrdom!😂). In times I also saw full movies. Seriously! I'm not lying and those movies have unique characters (usually I'm the protagonist 😁) full action and denouement!
Now there's something I always wanted to ask people, it's a bit complicated. Like does it ever happened to you that you saw a place in your one dream, a place that you have never been to and it even doesn't exits, and in the other dream your saw exactly same place and you even remember during dream " o yeah I have been to this place in my previous dream". Like how? Does memory works while sleeping? This amazes me a lot!
I'm also one of those people who always wish to document their dreams. And it's not all, there are some places and architectures which are usually really fascinating, I also have this goal( unattended one) to even draw and spread them over pages. But I have not yet been able to start such journal, my "Dream Journal". Wow! How amazing it would be. I promise, I will also take it as a challenge and work on it(insha'Allah).
So let's just give time to our today's slogan:
My dream of last night was quite disturbing one. I had a parrot, a talking green parrot. My father had bought it I guess 3 years ago and it was 4 days old at that time. Me and my elder brother looked after it, we treated it like babies. He also used to call me by my name. And unfortunately it was killed in an accident few days ago😔. I'm quite disturbed these days. And sometimes I hear him calling my name. I always used to spare a piece of my bread for it in every meal, especially in morning and nowadays I'm giving its half to other birds, I really miss him. So that was the background story.
What I dreamt that, there was some sort function in our home, I don't really knew for what people were gathered in our house, in our lawn particularly. When I went towards my room, I passed by the orange plant( where he usually used to sit and I have mentioned it in one of my previous article) I saw it there not just one but 2. I was really happy. I was talking to them as if we talk to people. And I woke up out of that joy. I literally had tears in my eyes.
So this was the short part of my dream which I remembered. I'm really sad 🥺 even right now!
So that was all. Next Aniko asks to write about your nightmare. Dream that always pops up and scares you to your core. Let me know if you had one. I would share mine tomorrow.
See you again!
Bye-bye 👋🌃
