DIPSOMANIACS

Yesterday I saw a drunk man sitting on the footpath trying to gather his entire strength just to stand on his feet, upright. I've also been drunk once aand just can't remeber what all I did. But as my friends tell me I proved to be one hell of an asshole..... I was just swaying while walking and talked all about someone whom I didn't know, but surely loved! Now is that possible to do in saner circumstances (Lets keep my poet friends out of it!)

What I have realized is that when u r drunk you try to force away all the manners u'v learnt throughout u'r life. If u don't do that then u'r not drunk. Because the only purpose u drink is to forget u'rself. Why else would someone drink?? when we are sane we create cobwebs around ourselves, family, friends, beloved, society, etioquettes et al.

But....is that the way to face life. I don't think so. By getting ourselves drunk we find an excuse to run away from life. We start blaming others for our current circumstances, but deep down we must realize that it is us who have put ourselves there sanely or insanely...... I am an astout believer in god and always upheld the view that god always gives us what we want (sooner or later) and it is us who despise him for giving that to us...later.

OOOPs I hope that was not a sermon that I wrote....Jyaada pee lee shayad!!
So guys the next time we all raise a toast in the name of life just remember that it is life that we will be running away from !!

Those who drink to drown their sorrows must know, sorrows know how to swim.

Its a good piece of writing Jha. But I beg to differ that we drink to forget ourselves. At times, we come close to ourselves when we drink.

Keep writing.
