Happy Hours!! :D

Friends,Romans,countrymen; Lend me your ears(eyes).

This post brings forth the very sombre issue of a phenomena that has escaped the wrath of Mr. Pramod Muthalik uptil now, something that is not just a nuisance and a threat to the Indian Culture but also another example of unscruplous business practices adopted to entice the gullible-HAPPY HOURS! :D

No matter what the name suggests, I'm sure the only people who make use of these hours are either  thoroughly depressed or completely broke dipsomaniacs (or both). :P

I may sound harsh but so would you when you read the story of..ummm...lets say a friend of mine ;) and what happened to the poor soul during the Happy Hours(and the hours that followed)!

So here goes..

This girl,let's call her Tipsy (that's what she becomes by the end of it), plans to go out with a male friend..let's call him Dollar (For more than one reason) :D.

Now all's going great. They've had a great day at a gaming arena, won themselves some totally cool stuff (No kidding!) and are looking forward to a fun filled day.

Suddenly Dollar decides he's hungry.

No problem,thinks Tipsy.We shall eat to our heart's content.

But the mighty Dollar has plans.He spots a restaurant promising of Happy Hours.

1 free drink with every ordered one.Superb.

He thinks,we'll both order 2, get 2 free.

She'll have 1, I'll have 3!!

Alas, that was not to be! :P

The first round appears: a beer and a screwdriver(for the puerile souls, it's vodka with orange juice).

Dollar eyes his drink greedily,drools, slurps and drowns his drink in huge gulps.

Tipsy, on the other hand, takes small, cautious sips.

This is no different from Real fruit juice, she thinks.

I am not drunk.She lies.

I am O.K.

I just need some fresh air.

Dollar laughs.

She hates it.

To prove her point,she gulps down the other round of her drink.

Dollar frets.

Then becomes interested.

Then worried.

You are never getting drunk again, he declares.

Thanks for bringing me here,she thinks.:D

Ofcourse,she changes her mind when she snores through the movie that was to follow.

When she screws up her forks and knives.

When she gets stuck between doors.

When she laughs uncontrollably.

When she talks in whispers that can be heard easily by people on the next table.

And when she loses her appetite.

Only if they had settled for chinese instead!

cheers!!
