Lets Have a Beeeer

What prompted me to break the alcohol ban in my blogworld? Well it has been brewing (pun intended) in my mind to write something about the strange tradition of havin a beeeeer (thats how a freind of mine pronounces it). To say the least, havin a beer has meant a lot of different things at different phases in my life....not to me...but to others. Confused? Well lets delve into this some more.
I started with beer way back in the Ice age...aint gonna tell u when guys...(my parents have access to this as well...and i am censoring the inceident that happened with me and beer back in college) As long as I have known, I have not liked the taste of beer...and still I am getting to terms with it. But as we all know its a nice habit to break the ice (pun intended again...for all u eng poetry students read and learn) or to have a night out with the guys (this time no puns u sick @#*$%) Back in college, someone who drinks beer was an alcoholic even if the frequency is once in 6 months...well I was asked by a queer (for all the shocked beings who know one of the meanings of queer is gay...well consult the english literature majors for the other meaning) fellow 'Tu Beer Pike aaya????' at a college fest....and I was like 'Are you asking me coz u were told by someone or my breath gave me away?'.....Anyways as days went by the same ppl who were asked whether they drink...give an answer...'Main Madira nahi peeta jee' hehehe got u on that one...the stranger thing they say is 'Haan lekin sirf Beer'.....Well is Beer alcohol or Is it not? Or is it like a sin u can commit and be forgiven for it. Is Beer the pious V among vodka, rum and other Ws of the world (decode that...its simple)? Hmmm well I dont know... u tell me!

Some more years later, I have known these same type of guys drink beer every day of the week (so that they dont get knocked out) and drink beer after the other alocoholic beverage supply runs out and then get knocked out, along with the fact that they get offended to get invited to parties which choose to go sober. Me on the other hand have maintained my frequency and go steady with my alcohol not violating the qualitative or quantitative boundaries....Hey am I preaching...Hmm well maybe I am....I just wanted to convey that a persons contorted view points (which he/she hold close at a certain time and later relinquishes them..ever so subtly) does not do justice to what the real truth is. Ok I am definitely preaching preaching peaching.....did u say u see see see 3 preaching....well u have had one beer too many mate...Cheers.

Ek Saathi Aur Bhi Tha.....

Well thats the only worthwhile reusable (now u knw i am into software...duh) dialogue in JP Dutta's dud LOC. 'Ek saathi aur bhi tha' is a function being invoked by all and sundry in my workplace. And the funny part is the people who say 'Et tu brutus' are the next in line. Well heres to all my buddies who I wish all the luck in their future endeavours (...hehehe I picked that from one of the last day mails)
Now I would have written a superficial blog about ppl from the workplace leaving and throw in a few mirthful quotes here and there and just leave it at that. But it seems to be affecting my personal well being with the gauntlet of responsibilities being handed over to unsuspecting trespassers like yours truly....(woooooo I am Grisham in the making...but I would be writing on IT rather than law...so my central character would always be a mouse - metaphor and a damager- manager) Well it started with me driving off room mates and managers and now the whole ecosystem in my nick of the woods seems to be tumbling down.
Talking of room mates, I would like to publicly thank each and every one of you for being such a good friend and support (now that I will write in my last day mail)....On a serious note, I have lost very many friends over the years because of my inability to keep in touch after we lose touch... Every one of these friends has left an indelible mark on my psyche (for better or for worse) and created a void which can only be filled by their presence.....now now those who know me know that I am not a sentimental being...but do u really know me guys?...hehehe just kidding. I have come to know so many friends in such a short period of time that 2 trips with same group of friends had just 2 ppl same as the earlier group...then how is it a group???...well lets call it my group of friends....I have almost lost all the matter I could write on this matter and I do not wanna list down the friends that I lost....I would have to write name changed for each of em coz it may get nasty...hehehe. So till the next blog...asta la vista amigo
