teetotalers' two pence

It is difficult to be a teetotaler and all the more difficult to advice a doper to become one. This unsavoury situation has its own fun and all my like minded friends (although in minority) will vouch for it. Nevertheless being a teetotaler, it’s always an interesting experience to be with a person who is on a high. Though, i don’t know if the situation would be same if i swap positions.

i have known people who are considered as the pillars of rectitude and moral uprightness in the day and can become craziness personified Romeo in the moon-light. God, how they manage both the extremities with such finesse is a management lesson in itself. Hats off! to all my pals, for whom no Rasa in life is better than Somrasa, or only Somrasa leads them to other kinds of Rasas.

A guy, sitting outside his home about to be evicted from his house, was contemplating how the future would be after he had divorced his wife, lost his children and lost his job. He notices a crate of beer bottles and walks up to it.

He takes out an empty bottle, smashing it into the concrete wall swearing,

Doper : "You are the reason I don't have a wife",

Empty bottle-1 : Friend, why do u blame me. i was always there when u needed me. You always curse me at the end of each month and hug me few days after. Don’t u realise we are made for each other. Even Vijay Mallya calls me King of Good Times.

then he takes out second bottle, same situation same result,

Doper : "You are the reason I don't have my children"

Empty bottle-2 : I was there when u needed me desperately, in bad times. Now you want to forget me simply as a bad episode in life. i always stood by your side when no body was there. Friend this is the time when u need me the most.

then the third and to his dismay, bad luck continued,

Doper : "You are the reason I lost my job".

Empty bottle-3 : But friend, i was the only also the reason, when you got the job. And i assure u tough times never last, but tough people do. We make a healthy combo.

he notices the fourth bottle is sealed and still full of beer. He takes the bottle, puts it aside and says,

Doper : "Stand aside my dear friend; I know you were not involved"
Full bottle : A friend in need is a friend indeed. Subah ka bhula, shyam ko ghar aajaye to usey bhula nahi kehate.

The moral of the story:

Beer makes u smarter......It made Bud wiser.

i raise the toast for all my 'yo' friends.

CHEERS !
