let me drink?

It is hard to imagine how much impact tamil movies have on boys of chennai.. we always get inspired by a scene in some movie and we keep tellin our friends some day we wanan do that. A few of the examples cud be.. throwing the cigarette in the mouth like Rajni kanth (most popular but too tuf..).. Dating 3 girls at the same time like kamal hasan... but they were all tough for normal ppl.. so Surya became an instant hit with more "DO"able stuff. Taking your Girlfriend on a long drive at the ECR.. or drinking with your wife on weeeknds like Jilnu oru kadal..

Somehow for all my friends who are likely to be married in the next couple of years.. that Drinkin on weekends became a dream life. And all of a sudden the girl who sits with u while u drink became a dream wife for most of my friends. and this blog is just about one of those victims and how far he went to make that dream come true. (I am not going to mention the name of that guy.. for those of u who know my friends. here s a little clue.. He spent most of his college days in gym.. broke his sisters savings bank to play pool.. got palce in infy.. has been changing jobs ever since.. got married to a doctor recently.. well if u ve not guessed it then its Satish)

I have no clue why his dad decided on his marriage suddenly.. but the best guess me and partha (We three together are like the tripod) make is that he was drinkin with us and goin home drunk without taking any precautionary measures of eating pan masala or anytin.. In spite of warning him not to do that.. he used to convince us saying his dad does not drink and thus he cannot know how it smells when someone is drunk.. What a logic machi.. or probably he even assumed that his dad had never seen a drunk person before in his life and that he would never doubt his golden son would ever touch poison like alcohol..

That had been going for a while when one fine day Satish's mom complaints to Partha's mom saying her son is coming home drunk everyday.. and by assumption everyone now knows all three of us have been drinking outside.. so his dad waits fora chance.. catches him red handed and gets him married.. ok now his dad's assumption might be :From now on my son wont drink outside and come.. That did come true.. when i had a online chat with him a couple of weeks back..

Me: Hi da. Called you this weekend and you dint pick the call. What have you been doin.
Satish: Illa machi. Had gone to get sarakku (alcohol) for the weekend

(I am initially shocked to know that he was drinkin over the weekend and I was thinking with who did he go out...)

Me: That's great da. So where did u drink and who all were there?
Satish: Not outside da. Inside the house. Do you remember Jillnu oru Kadal movie. same style machi..

Me: What?? Dey. They were staying alone in Bombay in that movie. But you are staying with your parents.
Satish: Yeah. That is why I drink after they go to bed. (What an way to escape.. I used to watch all mid night masala after my parents had slept and he is taken that one step further..)

Me: Machi thats kool. So guess you are really happy after marraige and good that your wife does not beat you up for this.
Satish: Yeah da. Things are going fine.

Me: So Machi.. still with Haywards 5000?
Satish: No beer da. Only whisky. (But that movie showed him having beer i guess.. or may be i was wrong)

Me: Machi whiskyaa.. why da? why not beer
(this is the place where he gave the most intelligent answer of the night)
Satish: Beer will smell bad and parents may find out next morning. That is why..
(What the F____ as if whisky will smell like room freshner or something or as if his parents cannot find out when his son is totally drunk with whisky and not beer..)

Me: Super machi. Super. So happy for you man.
Satish: Machi got to go now will catch u later.

I was wondering if he was heading to the liquor store again to get some sarakku but it was a weekday he wont do that i thought. But why not.. a person who is capable of saying whisky is better in smell and drinks in his home after parents sleep might as well drink on weekdays!!

All of a sudden my whole concept of marraige had changed after this chat. All this while my definition of marraige had been losing freedom. Now its like gaining freedom. You can drink inside your own house.. cmon guysss.. time to get married!! and more than that we get to fulfil our dad's dreams. Not coming home drunk.. but drinkin inside the home.. wow.. times have changed.. generations have changed.. guess the first question when i meet the girl i want to marry will not be "Will you marry me?" but i ll ask her "Will you let me drink?"

Cheers!!
