'Most of the times I write here to clear my head or to know exactly what I feel about a particular topic, because I have to jot it down, read, re-read and even change my opinion as I talk to myself. I publish it because I want to know what others think. And I wouldn't know if my view is broad or narrow till you, the reader, express yourself with your knowledge and opinions.If I've ever offended anyone intentionally or unintentionally, I beg for your apology.

The Itchy and Scratchy Show

Author : Atrisa      Blog : alter native      Date : 5/7/2013 3:32:00 PM

'I've been meaning to write about this quite sometime now. It's not like a thousand articles are not written on it almost everyday. Somewhere you either look for write ups to learn something new, echo your sentiments about a particular thing or for them to make up your mind about it. (Let me warn you, the title is supremely misleading.)We've been doing all that for many years now, ever since our newspapers started filling up with a lot more raunchy and exploratory content than just t(...)'

'Feeling a little frisky so thought I'd slip in a blog post between work. I'm badass like that.Sick to my stomach (literally) cuz I've consistently been sleeping at 3-4 am every night, no clue why. I'd like to blame it on no parental censorship, not complaining though. Making mango shake and playing Monopoly cards at 2 am isn't exactly commonplace. Another chance to feel like a kid again, till all friends start falling prey to the M-thing like bowling pins.Being in Delhi with parents(...)'

'So many times I think I'll write about certain things that bother me. But every single time there's always that thing where I imagine at least one person rolling their eyes and going "Oh my God, she needs to stop whining". Or the person I'm slyly writing about to say "It's a good thing I got rid of her when I did", so I never really end up expressing about it.To write here is not about judging anybody, it's really about purging (like I've mentioned so many times before).

'Today I was at the Norah Jones concert and I was constantly trying to observe this friend who's a huge fan. I was trying to imagine how she must be feeling when Norah was yet to arrive. Then I remembered the time I went to watch Incubus in concert.Prior to the concert I thought I was gonna cry my eyes out, faint, cut my hand and write Brandon's name and all. But even on my way to the venue, I just wasn't quite getting there. I wanted to feel something - jitters, overwhelming emotion(...)'

That money will always be there - for a house I don't know when I'll rent, a car I may or may not buy, expensive sophisticated audio equipment to propel me in my musical endeavors, a foreign vacation I dare to take in the near future or simply, a rainy day.Back in 2007,(...)'
