Drink, Drunk, Drama

"a drunkard is like a whiskey-bottle, all neckand belly and no head."

~AUSTIN O'MALLEY, Keystones of Thought~

we hear, we see, and we know.

for what a beverage can do to conscious thinking, yes, we know it all.

we have heard and perhaps have experienced the stories of indian mans, both youngsters and elderly chaps who know how to drink and certainly know how to sleep on road, abuse children and wives, steal stuffs, talk out of consciousness and so much more. we also have seen it gone worst from committing adultery to breakage of family bonds. we, indians: as we know it.

we know alcohols posts negative effects to the body and also socially effects the people around. that is not my concern. but it ‘magically up-lift’ the image of the society. read this situation that i have encountered:

“was strolling in kajang streets and wanted to catch bus home. an elderly INDIAN man  (whom i address, Indian hereafter) came by and asked for money. 

INDIAN : aiya, konjam uthavi seyunggey. 4 naala saapedele. pasikithu.

(unmentioned todi/kallu/alcohol smell straight to the face~~~ weeeeeee)

looking at his tongue whilst he was talking to me, i noticed his tongue is blue-black. i asked why is it in that color. he said he duno. ASS! that is clearly shows your liver are damaged! a.k.a. *rosak nak mampus!* . i did not agree for his request. NO was my answer. he turned to ask from a malay lady at his back. out of sudden he bumped into a malay teenager who was rushing for the bus U40 to terminal.

MALAY GUY : BODOH! HINDU MABUK!!

i was stunned. being addressed as such in public made my day. definitely a thing to remember.”

-----------------------------------------------

that is the tag we get. HINDU MABUK. yeah that is true ill say. we can see indian teenagers sleeping on road with the vomit on his buddy’s face. we have seen tears of housewives who had enough with her husband. we have even seen marriage, friendship and family relation wither just because of alcohols. 

some are rationalizing it. “Chill, la”, “just for fun”, “im drinking for tiredness”, “im celebrating my happiness with my machas!” and so on. this and that. it doesnt matter. drink for own good and to share happiness is alright. but drinking till bothering others and tormenting the image of the society is certain NO!.

very sad to hear that, our society is far back outdated just because wastage of human resource and social/ethical issues due to alcoholism. allowing any individual’s talent to go waste and not to the society deteriorates the status and social standing in the community. and that, is happening now to us, Indians. even more sad to see our young generation of educated students drinks, not for anything, but for trivial reasons. and we know it all. just look around and start to ponder. where is this society heading to?

if these drunken civilians are to uplift the status of Indians’ image, up bring the social  status, able to find the solutions for the poverty that Indians face, able to make every indian proud as the way he/she is, then i do support alcoholism and indians.

outraged. anger. dissatisfaction. 

changes must be implemented. no more degrading indians. and for that : INDIANS must work together. not for others but for our own selves.

THINK RIGHT!
