Malted barley, hops, yeast and water don’t make much sense
when they stand alone. But when you put them together and manipulate the
natural process, you get the elixir of mankind! A curious mind would reckon
what I am talking about. And only those minds would understand the true essence
of this random piece. The harmless* mixture – the reason behind euphoria for
some, dysphoria for some and endless other emotions vaporing out of their souls,
has been a distant dream for me in the dry state here. Had it been a case where
it is absolutely impossible to find one, it would have remained a dream. But it
is India! There is nothing called as unavailability of banished ones and Yeah!
Dreams come true! Don’t they?!
After being ubiquitous, it was seldom seen, heard
and it was a ‘TABOO’ here. Having laid multiple baits with few (Reality-with
almost everyone I knew here!) friends here, I made up my mind that the one who
hands me the elixir will be promoted from a friend status to my best friend! Days
became weeks, weeks into a month and the wait was getting cruel. The night is
darkest just before the dawn! And as promised, the dawn was coming! (Again,
curious minds would recognize this punch line!)
One of those baits had worked and eventually I managed to
lay my hands on the elixir of my life. Without a surprise, it was truly an
elixir and casted its spell over me briefly over the night. Nevertheless, it
was worth the wait.
Funny yet a very true FB quote strikes me at this point, “Oh
NaMo! Please do not replicate your state’s model in India. It is quite hard to
drive down to neighboring countries!” I bet he wouldn’t dare to do that unless
he has plans to lose his PM seat!
