Tuesday, 17 February 2015. Image Courtesy: http:/ 1ms.net. Couple of weeks back, I was in conversation with a group and the topic was memories of getting drunk. It’s ironic how I contribute during such conversations, owing to the fact that I have never tasted alcohol till date. Thanks to my creative brain and fantastic college crowd, I've heard and seen such amusing incidents, that I never had to taste it to know what it is to get high. Don’t you always have fun over drinks? You won’t understand. Listen ...

What is there that nobody knows? Very dog has a day and last weekend my bone came by in the form of a movie ticket to watch the much celebrated Bangalore Days.
