Renunciation through drink..

Our Hindu folklore proclaims 4 kinds of vairaagya(Ren....too lazy to continue this) viz.Vairaagya upon seeing a dead person; Vairaagya from suffering terribly(as in disease); Vairaagya from eating to one's satisfaction(this, i know) and Vairaagya from wisdom(sadhus)....being quite a 'frequenter' of the madhira and learning from my mistakes(again...and again...and AGAIN....and again:/),one such an indication of our readiness to forfeit everything must surely be the hangover from those darned binge sessions. Moreover,this kind of an enlightened wisdom is quite genuine if one observes oneself...on such glorious days,it hurts to see a cigarette;it pains to smell anything remotely approaching that musky,acidic whiff of alcohol;it grieves to see an full platter of food;it is revolting to see the tv,talk gossip,ride a bike,lift a pen,walk around (you get the picture!)....it makes you want to sit/lie on the cold floor(no wonder they go to the himalyas),close your eyes,maybe sip rosewater(?) and feel good...you begin to objectively look at that dull pulsating torture somewhere in the midst of your benin cortex and realize that you arent really you..*end of this inane mumbling*
