chronicles of a lone drinker (on holiday)

Search for wine shop. Pick brand and size to suit budget and palate. Wrap bottle in black plastic. Walk back, quick steps, conscious of excess baggage, nonchalant looks. Bottle safely deposited in room. Check for sufficient quantity of chilled water (dubious origin permissible) in battered plastic bottles. Remembrance of post-drinking hunger pangs past. Quick glance into wallet...thin finances...hail the versatile egg! The humble roti and the saviour egg, aromatic in foil...radiant smile of victory. Seal cracks, glass tinkles, liquid flows...all in sonorous melody. The drinker reclines, the world at his feet...

    For the best results, one may even go for the 20 Rs Bhujia packet, along with lime, onion and green chillies ...

    Usually lasts till you are happily full!!

    And finally the other important ingredient, choose one and stick with it for the evening,

    1. Gulzaar
    2. Ghazal (MH, GA, FK or JS)
    3. Lata Mangeshkar
    4. Talat Mehmood

    In some special company, even Geeta Dutt is highly welcome!
