The New year statistics

Wine is good for health, hmm........ agreed but what about the local brews? Today, I was forced to listen to the news broadcast on the the telly tube, was forced to it by my grandmother. I agreed and sat down to listen, nothing special regular political gimmicks and odd news. And then suddenly I notice my grandmother, who was lying down, on the old couch sits up and she leans forward to listen to the a particular report. I lean forward too, to listen, to find out what was so important for my ammamma, it turns out to be report about the total liquor sales, I sat up to listen and was disturbed (why ??) to learn that a total of Rs 12 crore and some odd number was the total revenue earned from liquor sales just on New year eve. That was just one day sales total but it doesnt include booze supplied from resorts, small joints and other watering points. It also doesnt include the amount of liquor bought much before the new year or its eve. No wonder there was a traffic jam at a nearby town all because it has a Bevco stall..

Why do you have to end up on four legs, drunk and speaking incoherently on the New year nite? Every year I have thought about it; this year it was no different, Iam thinking and still thinking.

I wanted to write this post on Jan 1 st but Chandu beat me to it, he was a witness to the New year bash at his place.

First day of the New year wasnt any different than any day of last year, what changed was my calender, just that.......
