Two instances when you feel like scratching your head:
1. When your head is infected with lice
2. When you are groping in the darkness that befalls the insides of your head to come up with ideas that matter
Its been a while since I've interacted with kids. At least there hasnt been a very close proximity or physical intimacy. My head isnt infected with lice.
So I am scratching my head to come up with ideas that vaguely/remotely/marginally impress my professors at college(suck up??...who me??!!). And we are marked and our entire mental capabilities are evaluated and judged on the basis of these "ideas". Namrata Patnaik is a mass communication student. And interestingly whatever I(and the rest of my batchmates) do...comes down to the basic prerequisite to make it big(or small)- IDEAS!
Now does scratching actually help??
Two instances when you ACTUALLY scratch your head when you dont have lice-
1. When you are thinking and trying to hold on to the fleeing thoughts that might later work out to be "workable" ideas
2.When there are no fleeing thoughts and you are exasperated at your sheer lack of creativity(at a certain point of time...a point of time when you have a deadline to come up with ideas)
There are no fleeing thoughts in my head right now. Therefore, I am scratching my head so that I start scratching my head for an entire different reason-to hold on to fleeing thoughts and come up with workable ideas.
Friends, the world needs better ideas...scratch on...

Good to know you're finally blogging! Definitely a great way 'to hold on to fleeing thoughts'....
Well-written.... i'm very happy your 'exasperation at the sheer lack of creativity' has reached the point that you're actually writing about it! :)
