satire

Relationship satire can be cathartic; when love hurts too much, just laugh.

The Written Writ. Top Story - October 2025.
At Bitten Apple TV, our premise has always been simple: give people a bite of the apple! A chance to explore something meaningful, creative, and honest. Life has been a whirlwind lately, and while I’ve had to step back and handle personal matters, my incredible business partner, The Written Writ (Ralf), has gracefully taken the reins and continued to carry the heart of our company forward.

My Father's Friday Ritual (And Why I Had to Break It)
"Some traditions are sacred. Others are just waiting for a better way." As a child growing up in Riyadh, my father observed an unwavering Friday morning ritual, much like the call to prayer. After eating breakfast with the family, he would put on the old thawb he reserved for chores, take a small toolbox, and head out into the driveway to "fiddle" with his car. A car for him was not just a part of daily life, it was another sign of his caring for his family. It was a source of pride. He would check the oil, add fluids, and, most importantly, check the tires. I would watch him kneel on the hot pavement with deep concentration checking the pressure and looking for wear. If he decided the tires were getting close to needing changing, our Friday was planned. We were off to the industrial area for a long, drawn-out trip to his "trusted" tire dealer. I could smell the vulcanized rubber, hear the hissing of the air tools, and sat for hours on a dusty old bench while he haggled, bargained, and finally supervised the installation of the tires. To him, this was what you do. It was an honorable way to approach your responsibilities, and a form of tradition we had inherited.

How To Journal
Ah, journaling. A wonderfully complex art that has been mastered by several over the years, it’s no wonder why so many people continue to dabble in it to this day. It is simple, mindless, and easy. All one has to do is take out a stack of paper and/or an electronic device and then write. What could possibly go wrong?

The New American Dream
We’ve all heard it before—“work hard, get rich, and you’ll be happy.” The American Dream, for decades, has been tightly stitched to this idea of wealth accumulation, status symbols, and climbing the ladder of success—no matter how much of ourselves we leave behind on each rung. But what if we’ve been climbing the wrong ladder altogether? What if the true dream worth chasing isn't about stacking paper but about stacking meaningful conversations, relationships, and internal peace?

Heroes vs. Pretenders
Since the dawn of the social media era, Pakistan has been in a very weird competition. It’s no longer about courage, sacrifice, or building a nation—it’s about who can do the most TikTok dance while holding a latte in a $500 designer cup. And apparently, that qualifies you as a role model now.

The Endless Journey of Hopes: Learning to Live in the Present
Hope is the light that keeps us walking through the darkest nights. It is the quiet promise that tomorrow can be brighter, the whisper that tells us to keep moving, even when the road is long. Without hope, life would feel empty, stripped of purpose. And yet, I discovered that hope can also become a chain — beautiful, but heavy — keeping us always chasing, never resting.

Titanic: A Timeless Tale of Love and Loss
When the name Titanic is mentioned, a tidal wave of emotions surges through anyone who remembers that fateful voyage. James Cameron’s 1997 masterpiece isn’t just a movie — it’s an experience, a heart-wrenching journey that lingers in the soul long after the credits roll. It’s a story of grandeur and tragedy, love and loss, human ambition and vulnerability, all set against the backdrop of one of history’s most infamous maritime disasters.

Shut Down Corruption, Not Social Media: The Fire Gen Z Lit in Nepal
There’s a powerful tension in that moment of calm before the roar begins. Nepal’s Gen Z rarely made headlines, quietly living with day to day corruption, limited opportunities, and an uneven justice system.

I Want
Hey Universe, How ya doing? I'm sure things are cosmic, that is to say... beyond me. And I know I'm just a little handful of dust, in the grand scheme of things-- I'm only one among billions of conscious humans, and we're each only here for a flash.... So, I mean, I get it.

Hannah and hunter join him in looking up towards the sky nodding their heads symoblising that their dad would be proud of jake and then jake shakes hunters hand finally which is something he said he wouldn't until he earned it. trevor ends up rising jakes hand... a call back to jake rising trevors hand all those years ago after jake pined trevor. everyone clapping and celebrating. the rest of the locker room and the backstage crew walk out onto the stage to celebrate and Anthony walks kole down to the ring and the two former lead the pack leaders share some words. jake drops to his knee and gets a mic and he puts the title onto koles hands and he picks him up and the family that we as fans came to realise was the family what we all needed for ourselves stand together alone in the ring. jake and sarah stare at each other and the two embrace. The crowd pops as sarah finally gets jake to ask her the question we all wanted him to ask and she quickly says yes. The show might have been meant to end then but then theres a heart warming moment as when the michpone just happens to be close enough to kole still as while being held by sarah and jake he finally mutters his first words…dadda.
