To do lists never go away! Everytime I strike something off it, two more things line up! It just gets longer day by day. :(

Drink Beer, Stay Healthy

In Defense of Beer

This is an attempt to convince the people who turn up their noses at beer.

Beer contains barley or wheat or rice and hops.
The basic ingredients of beer are -

• water
• a starch source, such as malted barley, which when fermented gets converted into alcohol
• a brewer's yeast to produce the fermentation and
  
• a flavouring such as hops
  

One cannot call water unhealthy. Nor is it unhealthy to eat wheat barley or rice. The alcohol is not an additional ingredient. It is obtained from the fermentation of barley. So technically even if you are not drinking beer and eating fermented rice dishes (idlis, dosas) you are consuming an alcohol like ingredient. Would you give up eating idlis, dosas and medu vadas just because they contain alcohol.

Beer contains only 4 - 6 % alcohol.
Beer contains only 4 - 6% alcohol. So one can safely say beer contains negligible amount of alcohol. It is technically impossible to get drunk on one beer.

Alcohol is antiatherosclerotic beta blocker.
Alcohol when consumed in moderate amout acts as a antiatherosclerotic beta blocker. It prevents the hardening of walls of the arteries. Beer is ideal drink for "moderate" amount of alcohol. Hence, drinking beer is good for your heart!

Beer contains natural preservatives.
Beer contains natural preservative called hops. Hops are flowers that are found on hope vines. They lend the beer its bitter taste and act as natural preservatives.

Nutritional value of beer
A glass of beer typically has just 72 calories. 0g fats, 4g carbohydrates and 0.6g proteins.

Coke or beer?
So now allow me to compare a glass of coke and a glass of beer.

With Coke, you are drinking God-knows-what, a lot of sugar, artificial preservatives and artificial flavoring agents and a truck load of calories. It is bad for your weight and it just cannot be good for your heart if it has so many things you are not even aware of.

With beer, you are drinking, barley (healthy), no sugar (healthy), natural preservative (healthy), little alcohol (healthy and good for your heart!) and only 72 calories (good ain't it?).

They why would anyone who has the power of thinking would drink coke instead of beer?

Some more secondary reasons -

After water and tea, beer is the third most popular beverage all over the world!
Third most popular! See! It even beats coffee and coke.

The Beer Culture
Beer in itself forms an intrinsic, undefined but widespread and popular culture. Sports fans worldwide speak the language of beer. It has also given us the "pub culture". Getting together for a beer, listening to music, dancing, playing cards, darts! Beer has fostered social life for ages!

So, the next time you are asking some one to give up beer. Think Again! And convince yourself to try it.

I rest my case :)

I was an awful student, who had very good teachers. They taught me knowledge, discipline, my morals,everything...I resented, I rebelled, I ignored, I unlearnt...but they persisted with infinite patience that only God, mothers and teachers can have. Saying thank you is saying too less...all my life, I shall always try to live what you've taught me...that could possibly be the only way in which I can try to thank you.

To understand how difficult reaching a conclusion was one has to only look at the "Resurrection of Shri Rama": The court had to assert the Lord Ram is henceforth considered as a living human being, having fundamental rights. He can appeal to the court if his fundamental rights are endangered and can be arrested and apprehended if he encroaches someone else's fundamental rights.

The Authentic अ ब क ड

A for Aila
(A Marathi exclamation made famous by Sachin Tendulkar in a Pepsi ad when he says ‘Aila, plane’)

B for Bhendi
(A mild expletive or abuse. The ignorant might think this is local lingo for a vegetable (okra). The tapori knows better)

C for Chindi
(Some say it means insignificant. For others it denotes tight-fistedness. Eg: ‘Bindi is chindi. She won’t even pay for the trip.)

D for Dhasu
(It means great or fabulous. Like what a ‘dhasu’ idea it is to read this tapori talk)

E for Ekdum
(Not that hard to figure out. Ekdum means absolutely. So ekdum bekaar means absolutely useless)

F for Fadoo
(Good, fabulous or beautiful quite in the same vein as Dhasu. A fabulous broom might be explained as a ‘fadoo of a jhadoo’)

G for Ghanta
(Means rubbish or nonsense. If a politician claims: ‘I will eradicate corruption’, the janta comprising Santa-Banta might say Ghanta)

H for Hatke
(Hatke actually means original or slightly different. Not to be confused with ‘hat gayi hai’, which means he’s lost his marbles)

I for Item
(Used to refer to a sexy girl — Kya item hai. These days girls also use the word to describe a handsome man )

J for Jhol
(A common word for a scam or a bungle. Examples: What Jhol is all this?; Sounds like some jhol to me, yaar; Solid jhol in this poll)

K for Kalti
(This means to give somebody the slip or not keep a promise. It may also mean a turnaround. Example: Usne aaj kalti diya)

L for Lafda
(Fairly common usage for a squabble. The lafda can also have sexual connotation — Are they having a lafda (affair)? )

M for Maal
(Dial M for money. That is what maal stands for. It’s also a derogatory slang for a woman — Kya maal hai! )

N for Nastar
(This means bad omen or what is more commonly known as ‘panvati’.Or also means atheist)

O for Ookhad
(The word is used rather combatively. Two men in a skirmish might growl at one another: ‘Ookhad kar phek doonga’)

P for Punter
(It means source or informant. Yeh dekh punter aaya, is the way it is said)

Q for Qeeda
(This rather strange word means a person who is always up to something, some mischief or is posing as a major irritant)

S for Sumbdi
(This stands for a rather secretive person or somebody who is clever enough not to reveal all. Not to be confused with shy or reticent)

U for Ungli
(A rather obvious obscene interpretation. It also means to bait or rile a person and try to get a rise out of them )

V for Vaat
(Means this is the end of you today. It all means the end, khatam, finito — Aaj toh vaat lag jayega)

W for Wohich
