Some People!!
Yesterday being a saturday, had planned for a dinner..so went out to some Dhaba in the outskirts of Hyderabad...had to go through the Hussain Sagar Lake....necklace road...a wonderfull and a peaceful sight to see...the lights that lit the road..their reflections on the water beneath....awesome...these dhabas, as they are called, are some 15 KMs away from Hyderabad and they proclaim themselves to be family dhabas...funny...
Returning to the topic of the post, as we were travelling, we had to stop for adjusting the brakes of one of the bikes we had taken...and there is this liquor shop next to the mechanic shop..so, as we were waiting for the bike to be ready, we see a guy(probably in 50's), coming in his scooter, with his girl(a child- probably some 12-13), leaves the child in front of the liquor shop, goes into it and after sometime, comes back with a couple of bottles in hand....he then says something in Telugu, which I could hardly make out and then goes on to the next shop, which is a bakery..buys some chips and leaves...I was just astonished to the impunity with which he does these things in front of his child...
May be he is one guy who understood the maxim"Never do anything that you would feel ashamed off to claim in public...because you are good"...may be he doesn't feel ashamed to claim that he drinks in front of his child....May be he doesnt share my belief of shame....different people..different priorities....

@Nithya: Come on gal...I am not speaking about some grown up girl like u...Iam speaking about a child..some 13 yrs of age..ofcourse if u think that drinking is a status symbol, it is a different ball game...but if u think that drinking is a social evil(i cudnt see it otherwise), then ,it is so possible that the gal might end up as a drunkard..iam not saying that gals shuldnt drink..all Iam saying is that, parenting has to be more carefull...jus for the sake of openess, it cannot be sacrificed...also, even this openess had to come only after a certain age...and if the parents are not teaching their children about the rights and wrongs...who else will teach them??...Cinemas??..Books???...Parenting is more than jus letting free..agreed..Daddy is best to any girl..so what would happen now..the gal will probably think that drinking is no wrong...I cudnt subscribe to that...to me drinking is wrong..that too in front of ur child(beware a kid) is even more so..
@Nithya:BTW, I like ur attitude..being a liberal is it???...then again, Liberalism is terrible...U need to adjust between norms and individual freedom..I have written about them before...They might be sensible I guess..if possible to search for them do read them..
