STATUTORY WARNING: This post is exclusively for the tipplers or who want to be in future.I am not under influence of any alcohol while writing and all my views are personal.Nobody who disagree with me have to try or even think of trying alcohol in any of its form.
My recent encounters with alcoholic beverages in its various forms have made me realise the significance of madhushala.Now i can read between the lines when BachaanSaab writes"din ko holi raat diwali roz manaati madhushala" OR "bair badhaate mandir masjid male karaati madhushala".Wait a minute, let me tell you, i am not an alcohol addict and neither intend to be.I don't drink to forget my house address or to land up in gutter.Also i am not some sort of devdaas trying to forget Paro and reciting "kaun kambakht bardaash karne ke liye peeta hai"(to me it hardly matters if she is Paro or Chandrmukhi).I am perfectly aware of the injurious effects of alcohol on lever and other social consequences.
Despite of all these ill-effects i still stand by madhushala.Though its hard to justify the inebrianting effects of alcohol without trying it yourself i would try to narrate the experience.The first time you take a sip and will shriek"What a tart fluid" and a few more sips and the taste buds of your tongue are finding it good.Gradually all the bitterness is gone.The nervous system of your body is relaxing with all its euphoric effects.The whole earth seems spinning around you.You are now unaware of the world around you, its miseries, its pain.Now it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, you are black or white, you are hindu or muslim.You are un-conscious of what other thinks about you, does anybody loves you or hate you, whether there is any future or past.All these things are immaterial.Now what matters is present.You don't care about anybody.You have risen above the mundane desires and are on the path towards salvation.You are nearer to yourself....you are nearer to GOD.
The ill-effects of madhushala becomes so trivial when it induces so much of benevolence in a man,when only few pegs of whisky brings you so much close to The All Mighty.For me alcohol is as pure and innocuous as love.Love also has its side effects , so do we stop loving?...then why drinking.
CHEERS!
