What shapes character

Today morning when I opened my blog, I was thinking of topics to be written about - Options were

1) A GESC member's infatuation with a French girl and this time it was vice versa too

2) A hoity toity lady getting infatuated with a communist bong( lady uses a Chloe bag for hints)

3) Maximus trying to win the heart of this lady ( People are thoroughly bored with this now)

4) The greek tragedy/comedy, depending on which side u r that happens in **** reviews

5) Lack of single hot ready to flirt eligible men & women in office ( I opt for the latter but then there are few women who read these blogs, hence..........)

So whats left to write about - Voila, found the topic - This has played such an important part in shaping our characters that it feels like second skin( absolutely & definitely no pun intended) - Before we came in touch with this, we were young men & women trying to find our place in this world - Unsure & hesitant - This gave us the confidence in ourselves - made us believe in our abilities & encouraged us to do things which we would have been ashamed to do otherwise - Like strange non synchronised movement of body parts getting passed off as dancing

Most of you have guessed the topic by now - For those who arent a part of the useless Mensa Club, we are taking about alcohol - Comes in various forms, brands, sizes & prices - But they all have one wonderful ability of making you do things you wouldnt do otherwise - Like I walked for 10 kms pushing a bike in the middle of the night after drowing 7 glasses of Aristrocat whisky - For those single malt enthuthiasts, I was in college & wasnt related to the Onassis family.

I got introduced to this heavenly concept when I was 15- That early exposure explains my suave & sexy behaviour - My friends chose to induct me with a concoction which men use to hide the fact that they dont like going to the gym - Beer. The first time you taste beer, the karela( bitter gourd for running water man) which you were forced to eat when you were a kid( pretext = good health) tastes heavenly - But boys dont become men till they persist - I followed the same principle till I somehow started loving it.As a result of which, I somehow became a fan of the German football team ( More reason to drink beer as they mostly never managed to win any major soccer tournaments, so I drowned my sorrow in more beer - Lovely vicious cycle)



I managed to upgrade myself from beer to whisky - For those of you who dont know about it, its the staple diet of truck drivers, punjabis, and all SEC C & D people - The higher form of human beings prefers a different species called Single Malt - The rustic villlager that I was chose to stick with truck drivers and started off with bottles which never costed more than Rs 300 ( a princely sum when u r not earning) - Genius, Aristocrat, Bagpipers and what not



Under the evil influence of whisky the list of crazy activities multiplied. For the sake of my image or whatever is left of it, shall refrain from most of them except one. Once we went drinking from college as were kicked out of class for not doing our assignment - We started drinking around 1 and finished at 4 ( afternoon) - I highly regard Einstein & physics in general when I am drunk and trying to sit on a bike without managing to fall off - That bike trip culminated in us reaching the college - I remember parts of it and rest was recounted by my non intoxicated friends - I walked like Amitabh Bacchaan in Sharabi in college at 4.30 in the evening like a elephant who hasnt mated for 2 years( for those of you who are curious about such elephants please go visit Kaziranga - and for heavens sake, dont go close to him) - Post walking, I managed to go to the library and tried to issue some books as well - And if all of this was not enough, I sat next to the water cooler thinking it was some extra terrestrial object and tried talking to it -

The consequences of such extremely honest behavious was quite catastrophic -

1) My girl friend didnt talk to me for a week

2) My colleagues downgraded me from a A++ buy rating to B-- sell

3) The librarian still hates me

4) The water cooler has still not given a reaction

I have finished this part of the blog. This blog would take the following steps

Step 1) Would write about my tryst with Rum, Vodka & Wine - More embarrasing stories

Step 2) Since I am not a narcissist, would talk about various ppl in office and what all they do after getting drunk. In case they have not displayed such behaviour, I shall use my vast imagination to concoct a story

The chosen few for the first round are

Chloe bag girl, Strange hair girl, dirty stare man, Maximus, Rural, Running water man

Rest dont worry - You would be covered in second round
