Flickering liquor

Do you know when was first liquor produced? But I know that you don’t know the answer; because it is still unknown. For any piece of information we should start scavenging from Neolithic period. But that is history, today the situation is different, like an old saying “When the liquor was gone the fun was gone.” But it doesn’t mean that you get drunk and become wild and vile. You should hold your drinks.

Now I will tell you good news, it’s not because alcohol beverages is my domain. India is the largest alcohol consuming country in the world. Don’t be shocked!!! Chill … whether the market is bullish or sluggish, alcohol industry is booming. At this moment I just want to remember few words of W.C. Fields, “There are only two real ways to get ahead today – sell liquor or drink it.” Quite interesting right? I think he said this about his fellow performers.

I first tasted liquor when I was studying third standard. My first sip… nobody has given me that, it happened like that. My loving grandpa was about to have his royal drink and he told me that “Richy this is a medicine for me, you don’t drink this coz you will get disease.” Poor my grandpa he doesn’t know that actually I don’t want to go to school the very next day, I was thinking some other plans; now grandpa only gave me a new idea. When he went outside I had a sip of that “medicine” still I don’t know what was my feeling. Next day I went to school also, nothing happened to me. After that I don’t know when I started tasting variety brands, tequila, martini, cognac, champagne. Even if I know, do you think that I will say; this post will be clearly scrutinized by my loving sister and brother other than my friends; I want to be alive for few more years.

The alcoholic beverages industry is very strong. We are going to witness some crucial changes like, entry of global player into the country, availability of superior brands and others. I will write about various types of liquors in the world, not this time. I would like to say one thing, drink responsibly.

Friends can be our partners?

“The glory of friendship is not in the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is in the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him”-Ralph Waldo Emerson U.S. poet, essayist and lecturer. I believe in this.

Let me ask something, is that fine if I propose my good friend? Any way I did, but later I decide it will create a big mess, coz she is from a Muslim family. I don’t have any problem in inter-cast marriage but my family has, so I sacrificed that. But I am happy. She is one of my good friends we had a reunion recently we all recollected our beautiful memories. Hmmm… I don’t want to reveal her name but she is very nice, doing her MBBS, cribbing about her studies and stuff like that. Happy Chick!!! It’s true that I had a crush on this doctor. Anyway, I won’t have any problem if my kids want to marry from other cast. 
Recently some of my friends also proposed their female friends and they asked my advice before the scene. To me there is nothing wrong in that; my buddies have taken my advice and some of them already started their love life and some others were devastated, coz their chicks are already engaged. I like to marry a girl whom I know very well and also she should know me thoroughly. Any way we should think about this topic. If you get a partner who trusts you, believes you, who loves you, who can understand you and your feelings and be your soul & shadow forever, then you are the luckiest person in the world. Relationship is not for fun, it is precious; everybody can get into a relationship but few will make it true. Do you have the spunk for get into a relationship?
