The alcohol effect..

Most of you might know what it would feel like to taste an alcoholic substance or beverage like brandy or vodka. These alcoholic beverages make you look so funny and whatever you do after consuming alcohol would, for sure, entertain the others around you. I had been to pubs several times and I have seen people becoming too emotional after few shots of vodka or any other alcoholic drink for this issue. I don't understand why they turn emotional when they are completely out of their senses. Another characteristic feature of alcohol consumers is they lose control over themselves and they would find it really difficult to stop with the last shot they had. Thus, if a person has a peg of brandy and flies away out of the world to the heavens, as described by most drunken dudes, he would not think twice to go for another shot even if he had built a strong principle of not going beyond the alcoholic edge while and before entering the pub. Hence, he forgets his own principles and self-built rules and won't hesitate to go for as many shots at the alcohol as possible, no matter how much his wallet can handle. Another set of people are those who don't like the way alcoholic beverages taste but try them just to experience the 'HEAVENLY DELIGHT', as defined once again by alcoholics, at the end of the shot. Some people like the smell of alcohol and they drink voraciously just to bring everything that went in them out through the process called 'VOMIT'. (Disgusting??? Sorry. Can't help it.. :P) Recently, when I went to a pub, I happened to get the sight of a man who, I suppose, had already crossed several shots of brandy. Suddenly, his unsteady eyes threw a stare at me. I knew I shouldn't have looked down upon him like that. He gestured at me in attempt to get to know what was so interesting about him that made me turn my attention to him. That was when I decided not to take my eyes on any of those within a pub. Apart from these, so many other funny incidents can be experienced when you meet an alcoholic gentleman. The best of all these traits of a drunken man in Tamil Nadu is that he would start delivering movie dialogues, imagining he is the hero of the hour! If you get a chance by your luck, do meet a drunken man and you would realize what real entertainment is!

Do we really respect the Father of our nation?

As far as we all know, Government wine shops, which are popularly known as TASMAC, and other outlets where liquors will be available on normal days should remain closed today which marks the birth of a Mahatma. I was taken aback after looking at what happened just outside a Government wine shop today in the evening. There were 3 men standing outside TASMAC and they were involved in some discussion among themselves. Suddenly, the shutter of the shop moved up slightly and I saw a man crawling out of the shop. I wasn't shocked to see the man coming out from a place which was supposed to remain closed today. But, what he carried with him hidden in his pants gave me a reason to question the respect these people have got for the man who is considered as the Father of the nation. If my friend who was standing beside me is not wrong, what he carried was Royal Challenge whisky in his right hand. This doesn't show the extent to which these liquors make one addicted to them. It shows the extent to which people have gone that they are totally uncontrollable over their temptations and desires. They can't hold on even for a day without liquors. Everyone is to be blamed here. I was passing by the shop and noticed what was happening there. I am pretty much sure even the Government officials who should have a check on these are very much aware of the illegal sale of liquor today. People who buy these hot drinks and also the one who sold the product know for sure that today is the day several years back when a Mahatma was born. Everyone is to be blamed here. During the course, we have forgotten what makes Gandhiji the Mahatma and what the purpose of the freedom he won for us after a non-violent fight is. If I had asked the alcoholic about freedom, I am too confident that he would reply 'Drinking even on Gandhi Jayanthi is freedom'. Let us not forget a great man.
