I'm sitting here at 5.30 am wide awake contemplating the general meaning of life and thought to myself, 'what better time to start blogging again!'. Considering I've been off the proverbial blogging radar for a while, it's about time I get back to it, there's something about sharing stuff with complete strangers that is oddly comforting. Also I just love to write. But I digress.
Since I'm on the whole 'begin again' thing; My name is Prarthana. But most people call me Prat for short, either because they love me so dearly or because I have an invincibly long Indian name. I prefer the former. I'm 21 and enjoy good food, abnormally heavy music and the company of anything with more than 2 human legs/ 2 legs or more. I'm a very simple person that believes in the power of history, mythology and tradition. A day is never complete in my eyes if I haven't laughed like a hyena on crack. I love my daily dose of stand-up comedy. I refrain from watching the news/ anything morbid. That being said, I do keep up to date however because I like to know what is happening and I think it is important to know. Ironically though, I do love a good, gory, horror movie. It can have people eating the gutts and butts of other people, slashing their way through life, and it doesn't bother me. In fact, I spent most of the time watching Saw laughing my arse off. Blood doesn't even bother me in reality. I used to analyse the iron content when I was a kid much to the disgust of everyone else. That being said, I despise anything to do with hospitals, doctors and medicines and have stayed far away from all three mentioned. I can't take seeing people in pain. It does things to me. But yet again, I have a high threshold for pain myself; for instance, I had a thorn stuck up my foot once which was almost a quarter of an inch long and didn't realize till two days later. I also have several piercings. Vacant people assume I'm a metalhead/rebellious punk because of said piercings, which isn't the case. Metal is the best friend I've ever had. Music is something I can and will not live without. I'm always listening to something, humming, whistling, tapping. Speaking of tapping I can't dance. Well a tleast not all the grinding, twerking and whatnot. I am very keen on learning how to do the Viennese Waltz and the Celtic river dance, because both require patience and stamina.
I'll continue the introductions in the next post. But for now, to start off with, I just want to say thank you in advance to whoever reads my blog. I know that there are readers all over the world, and I'm hoping that my posts give you a little giggle/food for thought/good recommendations. I love writing because it's one of the few ways I express myself. I've blogged for almost 7 years now; sadly I don't remember the name of my first blog and the second one I deleted to begin this one. This is the third edition and it's lovely to hear the feedback I get for my writing.
Moving along, you must check out this new track this crazy new track from Brit metallers Xerath, it's been on repeat for the past two days. I heard them for the first time a few years ago when I listened to 'Nocturnum' and absolutely loved them. Their music has this intriguing mysticism and I love their approach to extreme metal; lots of symphonic elements that make you feel like you're witnessing a metallic opera of sorts. Definitely give them a listen!
Okai, I'm going back to sleep now! Weird dreams await!
Later ;)
P.S: Remember...
