Bottles of Fun

*This was supposed to come out on 20th.. but due to already stated reasons, its being released now..:D

Normally, the people coming over would put in a call in the begining.. We had our first set of un-invited guests at our BachPad today... I'm not saying that they were un-welcome, but that we didnt have the faintest clue that someone would drop-by today..

They were our collegues at work, who were our erstwhile roommates.. Well, as soon as they entered our apartment, the first thing they noticed, other than the wastehouse kitchen was the collection of the so-called "Bottles of fun"..

And that got me thinking.. In two months of living here, there is an assorted collection of beer, vodka, whiskey and other bottles, numbering upto three dozens.. All thanks to the twice-a-week gettogethers of Malayalis..

Keeping up the tradition of supreme drinkers back home, the Malayalis here are making a massive contribution to the treasure bank of the Haryana Beverages..

I had read a report saying that Gurgaon was the city in the quatret of NCR cities leading the weekly drinking column.. Well, that is a no-brainer actually.. Delhi has a minimum drinking age of 25 years, while outside the National capital, it is just 21 years.. I know that nobody anywhere asks for ID proof from a guy/gal buying a bottle of fun, but the ones who dont wanna take the risk of ending up in jail, take a metro to the satellite cities...

And Gurgaon is the prime target for them.. With Noida being mainly a residential-cum-industrial city, Gurgaon has emerged as the entertainment centre.. With its phlethora of malls, its conjoined pubs, Gurgaon is almost like an open invitation for the young drinkers of Delhi to come and get some.. And they do, as you can see by the massive rush from Delhi to Gurgaon on friday nights..

But those are national issues... Coming back to my humble BachPad, I think there is an issue here, cos the number of beer bottles in the house beats the number of water bottles.. I'm not against drinking like I was two years before, but there should be a limit.. Right?? I'll leave you with that thought..

So, adios para hoy amigo..
