Funny things happen after drinking ...

We got drinking ... yet again , 2 days back. But this time it was a bit different. I stopped drinking after 2 and N went on to drink at least 5 (Not to mention the neat peg, right from the bottle .. a.k.a. Dharam paaji). Now since I was not drunk , I was in a much better state to see what exactly goes on after drinking. Now the usual didn't happen this time. N was overdrunk , as mentioned earlier , and he started with all his nonsense .Nonsense like .. "yaar , mujhse koi pyar nahin karta"(!!) and "Yaar tum meri wajah se bahut pareshaan ho na ?". Now what seemed like a joke at the beginning , turned to be really serious. N started crying, then he demanded more ... and when we denied him any more , he became violent ! He first took the coke bottle and smashed it to the ground , spilling sticky coke all over the floor. Then he pulled the door handle so hard that the latch came out , hurting him .. he was bleeding all over his hand ... but he still needed more Daru ! He was al messed up .. getting violent , crying , shouting obscenities. Finally we persuaded him to go to the loo to wash the wound. Now as he dipped his hand under the cold water , sth in the water got his fancy .. and he dipped his head under the water ! And then he wouldn't remove his head from under the tap ! (FYI , It is freezing in Delhi!). Somehow we got him out of there and then back to the room. But then his alcohol stained mind managed to recollect that there was still some Daru left, and he again started shouting for more. Another problem was that he wanted to go to his hostel at any cost , while there were at least 4 different places with guards between that hostel and the the hostel we were in. Finally G and J tied him down to G's bed and there he finally slept.
Once N was put to rest , we decided to end the drinking program , and then we went on to watch "You've got mail". This was , as far as I remember , the 6th time I was watching the movie , and it still seemed so nice ...
G and J then went on to see National Treaure , but I just can't see 1 movie after the other .. esp not after such a nice movie ... so I went off to sleep , thinking that I'll never drink after this ..... well , at least for some time....

Here is another 'pome'

All this drink ..
down the drain .
Short term euphoria
And then pain ..

And yet ...
Today I preach
What tomorrow ?

They say "It is but the devil himself"
"Has it done anybody any good ?"
But then , does anybody listen ?
It's no use telling me too ....
For I am also one of the 'anybody' ....

Though I lose my rhyme ..
It is due time ...
That I stop writng ..
And let things happen the way they are ..
