Got Beer???…..Will Drink!!!

(While I’m writing this piece I swear to drunk I’m not god……yikes!!!)

Summer’s back and I’m trying to wonder why coffee, tea or any other drink doesn’t invigorate me. The only thing that I can think of having something right now has to be chilled and the first thing that comes to my mind is ‘Beer’. Perhaps it’s time once again to get together without an occasion being in place (Come on you don’t need reason to drink beer or do you?!)

My recent escapades started off on a blistering Sunday afternoon where it was next to impossible to resist myself from having a draught along with coleslaw, ham, cheese & egg sandwiches (Slurp…that did make me feel hungry!). This was followed by a visit to one of the city’s finest pubs, Purple Haze where pitchers were flowing like there was no tomorrow (read: Monday @ work…Hic!!!).

The following weekend was bliss (or was it…can’t seem to recall…maybe I was hung-over). It started off at a co-workers place where the lager drinkers gathered to have beer (what else) in order to beat the heat. The day passed by with people walking in and out of the apartment & the buzz got carried forward through the night at Spinn (Both ways if the need be).

Sunday was again a night out at Geoffrey’s before I started getting the feeling why it was getting chronic (or was it? Didn’t really bother to understand why)

Week on week it’s been happening and it feels routine now. My systems immune to it and the highs (& lows) which follow are just something to ponder about (really?)

Now all I want to do is let the next 30 days pass by (to have more beer) because there’s finally reason to guzzle all the more! (I don’t really care…I still will). A four year long wait is going to be put to an end (for sometime) beginning June 9th when the best footballers/teams from the world finally embark in Germany to kick-start the FIFA World Cup ’06. I can only wait to watch the moment when the Messi’s and the Robinho’s of the world come face to face (*sigh).

So till the time I’m living the moment, to all the folks I’ve crashed mugs & guzzled beer with (& to those I’m looking forward to having a couple) see you at the game all ye hooligans ;) (With beer of course…& if Italy’s winning…it’s on me!)

& yeah…those who care to be a part of this…holler back... “Cheers!”
