that is very much an attack on drinkers nad smokers I suppose.
But really was it down to drinking or driving after drinking???I believe it is the latter one.

Drinking or smoking is very much a personal affair as long as it doesnt interfere with others.
But I believe drinkers and smokers should be reasonable enough. They should have enough maturity to understand what they are doing,,,,,

That’s real sad. I never thought Trivandrum would have a story like that to tell.
But, I guess the facts about smoking/drinking/drugging hold true regardless of city/college.

I started reading, thinking it was fiction. And was beginning to appreciate your narrative skills. I was thinking it is so easy to keep reading if someone wrote like this. And thats when I saw all this was based on a real incident. I wish it was just fiction…

When you read about 2 drunk or about-to-be-drunk rash bike riders getting killed, you shake your head and think why do young people keep doing the same thing. And forget about it. But when you just peek through a few moments of their life, you get a slight glimpse of the kind of loss their dear ones have to go through…

@ alan:
Finally, a criticism! Whee!!
You’re right man. I did it all in a hurry, and I could have done better. Will be careful the next time.

@ Neethu:
Every genius has his share of mistakes! And thanks for the compliment.

@ hari vishnu:
I’ve heard about your classmate. Sad case, really. Wasn’t ‘Raagam 08′ kinda ‘muted’ coz of that death?
Thanks, man. I’d consider it an honour if someone would actually quit smoking/drinking after reading this post.

@ mea culpa:
Hehe… Suspense is always good.
Thanks for dropping by!

@ ps:

Are you serious about the stats? Sounds *REAL* scary! Eek!!

@ the castle of the winter:
Erm, what was that, again? Forgive my terrible Hindi, but I quite didn’t get you.

@ Abhi:
LOL, guess what I can be real dumb at times!! I’ve corrected the error! *sheepish grin*.

Driving is fun alright. But often the fun is derived from drinks and that kills people
(Btw, I was serious about that fainted-guy. It happened. The body was SO dismembered. Period)

@ sriram:
Not really man. Stuff like this happens in the hostels only. But yeah, I have to admit that half the guys in my batch @ college drink/smoke.

I’m allergic to smoke too! It gives me the creeps.

@ jj:
Thanks, sis. I concur. Actually I wrote this post to prove my lifetime teetotaller-cum-non-smoker credo!
