“The whole world is three drinks behind. If everyone in the world would take three drinks, we would have no trouble. If Stalin, Truman and everybody else in the world had three drinks right now, we’d all loosen up and we wouldn’t need the United Nations.”
…so said Humphrey Bogart.
Here’s to being “three drinks ahead”…always.

Now that is a thought!
Three cheers to Bogart!
me: Cheers.
3 drinks of what…?
Is that Kerela in the picture?
me: Three drinks of life.
Yep, that is Kerala in the picture. Alleppey.
Brilliant, absolutely .. Was randomly surfing wen i came across ur blog …hav spent the whole day reading ur blog .. felt really good ..i m not writer (nor a voracious reader for that matter) to b able to really express my appreciation but still ..
Happiness is infectious !!
Cheers,
Vivek
PS: If its not personal, may I ask, r u by any chance a defence officer’s daughter ? (not that i know u, but it somehow felt like)
me: Thanks, Vivek!
And, yes – my Dad was in the Air Force. He took premature retirement though. Now manufactures hi-tech controllers.
What gave me away?
Well .. it wasn’t too tough given that i have always admired defence officer’s way of bringing up their daughters !!
But in any case if u insist ..
– ur dad’s moustache
– only a defence officer wud hold a drink with her daughter
– above all ur individualistic personality .. which i strongly believe has been inculcated by your dad
And yes .. one of my fav person’s is air force officer’s daughter … guess i know a lil more bout the culture out thr … !
me: LOL!
First two points – debatable.
Third point – Wrong. It was actually both of them – both my parents.
Hi,
Do you know, we are even 6 people away from everyone else in this world
Keep smiling.
me: Yes. So I hear. Have you seen the movie though? Six Degrees of Separation? Absolutely brilliant film, I think.
Wow, what a logic? And after those three drinks, we would have to be back to zero to be three drinks ahead again, eh? Because if we just continued with the next three after the first three, we’d be at six! Ok, whatever!
me: LOL!
But, yeah – if we were at six, the world would be trying to catch up and would probably be down three, at least – and we’d still be three drinks ahead!
Why is it i always stay 5 or 6 drinks ahead, and then am still up after everyone crashes;)
No, I have only heard about it. Been a long time since I have commented on this blog the last time, so how are you doing? Hope to see you on my site someday.
me: Nice to know you too.

Perfect quote !
Read the conversation between you and Vivek and being a defense person’s daughter must say I agree with his three points. Yup ! Happened with me.

neat concept for a blog.
I’ve spent the last hour going through your blog (which i totally loved by the way) and have some questions to ask:
a) are you based in Noida or associated with Noida in any way?
b) If yes, would you be willing to contribute to our site : http://www.newzstreet.com
Newzstreet.com is a multi city, neighborhood web newspaper which aims to connect, inform, serve, and infuse interactivity between residents of not only the same city but the same street, block, sector and locality as well.
The site will be launched shortly in Noida followed by Lucknow, Chandigarh and Bhopal.
Please mail me your email id, if you’re interested, so that i can mail you a detailed description of what newzstreet is and what we expect from you.
Thanks!
