Budweiser for the first time

Today i had my Machine Drawing end semester exam which had to start at 1.30pm. The day was just like any other day except that we had an exam at 1.30pm. I was kind of confident in this subject and i did not study much. The exam was good and it was the first time that i completed my drawing in 4 hrs. Every other time it used to take much more than the allotted time of 4.5 hrs. After the exam i had snacks with Mehul in the canteen.. (Cheese Grilled sandwiches).. and then i set off for my IEEE meeting which had TW2010 as the agenda. The meeting was to start at 5pm and might have started at the right time… My exam had got over at 5.45pm after the snacks it was 6.15pm. So obviously, i was late for the meeting. It did not matter much though. The posts for the TW10 were decided. The Meeting was over by 7.15pm and me, PVL and Shreya walked back to the hostels. On the way i called Tushar (Mishra) and we decided that we would be having dinner outside coz the food was not that good on Saturdays.

So Me, Tarun (Nekkanti) & Tushar set off for Guzzlers. On the way we realised that Tarun had forgotten his wallet & i had only Rs.100 in mine. So we decided to withdraw some cash from the ATM. The SBI ATM on KC was junked so we walked to the college where we found out that even the ICICI ATM was not working. Luckily the SBI ATM there was working and so Tushar withdrawed some cash and we set off for the dinner. We reached there at 20.55hrs and was amazed to see that the place was entirely full. We walked inside the A/C area only to find that everyone over there were still having their starters. And by our past experience at that place we knew it would easily take an hour to get ourselves the seats. At around 2135 we were finally seated.

We ordered ourselves Indian food with a pint of Budweiser each for Tushar and myself. Tarun preferred not to take anything while we drank. We ordered some starters so that we could all have something to eat while we waited for the dinner. Our Beer was served almost instantly. We had it slowly and steadily and amazingly even the dinner was served well in time. Just when the waited started setting the cutlery we still had 1/2 pint remaining coz we never thought the dinner would come so well in time. So to start of the dinner, we immediately drank up the remaining beer. All was cool for some time. After about 5 mins. Tushar started acting weird. He was all smiling and remarked that he had finally realised the reason for hype of beer in the US and UK. He told us that he had started to feel totally relaxed and that he was feeling his head to be very light. He asked me if i was feeling the same. I was happy that i was not feeling that way. i did not want to get drunk by just 1 pint of beer even though it was the first time that i was having the full 1 pint by myself. Earlier i had only a couple of sips of Carlsberg, Kingfisher Blue. And i also had a 30ml Green Apple Vodka with sprite sometime back. So it was the first time i was having that much beer and i did not want to feel drunk by that much. The reason we were drinking that day was that a few days back my friend Mahesh (Pai) had shared his experience of Budweiser and had told that it was sweet and mild. When i had told Tushar about this, he had agreed to give another chance to beer coz he had never liked it before. For that reason we had zeroed in on Guzzlers for the dinner. So back at the dinner, Tushar was acting weird and was constantly repeating that he was feeling very nice and light. Listening to all that me and Tarun could not stop laughing coz we all considered Budweiser to a mild beer ( it wasn’t sweet!!). Tushar was very known to create situations to fool the people around him and we thought that he was acting in that way just to make fun. But probably he was getting drunk. This was confirmed when he told me that he is very normal right now but would definitely be in the drunken state if he had 1 more pint of it. And next he asked me if i wanted to share a pint of fosters with him. This made me believe that he had definitely lost his mind. He tried calling the waiter to bring him the fosters but we stopped him reminding him of the amount the food and beer had costed us already. So he finally agreed and started of with his new weird act. He started touching his nose and exclaimed that his nose was made of feathers and he could feel feathers on his nose. We was acting really funny and i was pretty surprised to see him in that state. i was not expecting him to reach that state in just 1 pint of beer. But this told me that the next day he would definitely decide not to have beer again. So finally got over with the dinner which was so spicy that Tarun could not not eat it and even Tushar was able to have it only be drinking loads of water. All the way back Tushar kept mentioning the light but balanced state he was in. I just kept making fun of him and he fell asleep just as we reached our rooms. lolz. I was extremely amazed that the 1 pint of Budweiser had made Tushar’s head light but i was completely sound from all this. :D
