Have a Fosters... Ahaaa!
Yesterday, Sunday, I had my first glass of beer. Kingfisher Premium Lite, Rs. 42/-
I and a few friends had gone to a bar. And it was a bar you know, not a disc or anything (Beer in discs is too expensive). You know those "Permit Rooms"? Well, thats exactly where we went.
And oh fuck, it was a scene out of a Hindi movie. You know the atmosphere they show in films, all dark and dingy places with smoke hanging in the air and stuff? That's exactly how it was. It was dimly lit, people huddled around small tables, smoking and drinking. I'm telling you, it was a Hindi film scene. I half expected to see Sunil Shetty in the corner. He would have fit in the bar atmosphere perfectly.
I felt a slight twinge of guilt when I took the first sip. I had left home, I didn't give a shit about my parents expectations of me and stuff, but still, but still. When I took the first sip, I felt guilty, like I was cheating.
But then it was okay. And I had one full glass. :-)
I didn't like the taste much. It felt bitter, you know, like medecin. And I was like "Fuck, people pay money to drink this shit?"
And then it struck me.
I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE TOO
PS: It's bitter only for the first few times. After that, it's a bit of heaven on earth. Try it.
