Alcohol United...

Just the other day, a friend of mine was commenting about alcohol.

"Why do you guys drink?", she asked. "The taste sucks and it just doesnt make sence drinking such a horrible liquid."

Well, that got me thinking. Why do we drink. She was true about it not tasting that great and yet we drink.

I didnt have to think long before i got my answers. The biggest reason why we drink is to promote brotherhood :)

You must be thinking that I am outta my mind to be even thinking in this way. Well, hear me out and I just might make sence.

Lets start off from college. Its your first year and there is no one you know. Just bring out a bottle of beer and share it with your peers. The next thing you know, you are best buddies. And trust me, this relation lasts for a lifetime.

In college, you have lotsa parties. Now, in a party, you really need to let go of your inhibitions and have a great time. Its not that easy, letting go of your inhibitions. What do you do?? You drink :)

Once you are drunk enough, you just let go of all your inhibitions and have a great time. You do things which you would normally not do  when you are sober, like proposing to someone ;). Well, you get yourself a girlfriend...all thanks to alcohol.

At job too, alcohol plays an important role. Big deals are signed over a glass of champagne. You have greater team bonding and enjoy more after getting druk with your team at least once :)

I really did not have to think any more. I know why i drink, and have found many justifiable reasons for it :)

Alcohol - The one thing that binds humanity together.

Hogging at Sagar Motors

Have you ever felt the need to just eat a lot of food sometime during the evening, not because you are hungry, but because you just are sooo jobless that eating seems to be the only thing that will get you out of your boredom :).

 

You all must be thinking that i have lost my bonkers, but seriously, this is exactly how i felt today.

 

I had not much work to do today. Had a couple of issues that were done in the morning. Was just surfing around and basically doing nothing to kill time. Thought of playing TT in the evening, but i just have the enthu to go up and play.

 

Finally, all this boredom just made me hungry. I just started thinking of the amazing set Dosa's that we get next to our offce building (inside Sagar Motors campus).

I just couldn't resist getting up and going for my evening feast. Managed to get a teammate to accompany me in my hogging escapade :)

 

We reached the place and ordered a Set Dosa and Bread Omlette.

The Dosa was amazing. It was steaming hot and the chutny was deeelicious :)

The omlette was pretty decent too, but soon my friend joined me at hogging the Dosa. Before we knew, the meal was over but our stomach was still growling.

 

I just couldn't resist the temptation, and just went ahead and bought another plate of Set Dosa.

Hogged up that too, with my friend taking bites in between. After finishing the second plate, i still knew that i wanted to get something more into my tummy.

 

Just then i realised that all this will just add up inches on my waist. Also, i have a dinner date tonight, and i sure would want to eat something of what i spend :)

 

I finally had to control my hogging and get back to my seat. Now that my insatiable hunger had been surprisingly satisfied, I'm off to my evening siesta... :)

Football Fever

I never was a football fan. Never understood the game and never ever made an effort even to try and figure out the game.

 

Things changed when i went to Hyderabad for a year. My rommie was a big football freak.

It was his TV, so we did not have a say whenever there was a football match happening.

Started following the English premier league thanks to him.

Started understanding things like off-side, red card, yellow card etc and other basic rules of the game.

I even started supporting a team for the league matches (Arsenal) and actually tried to see all of the matches Arsenal played.

 

The one year i spent in Hyderabad converted me into a complete football fan. I started liking the game much more than cricket, which i must say is by far the most broing game nowadays :)

 

Now that we have the world cup, its just like a dream for all us football fans.

All the big names in the world of football, competing against each other for the coveted cup.

Its just sooo much fun watching the game.Its so fast and with so much action, that you just do not feel like leaving your place for a single minute.

 

Well, football fever has completely caught me. I just can't miss out on a single match of this world cup, irrespective of the time its happening.

Luckily for me, my release is kinda over. So, all i need to do is relax, get a beer and chill out and watch the gurus do their magic.
