Beer spurs up your creative juices, says one school of thought, which school it is, I know not. But being tipsy does give you weird thoughts, sometimes even abysmal ones. But it doesn't seem too far-fetched an idea that you might stumble upon something seriously genius when you happen to be under the influence.
Now, it is no new news that coffee wakes you up, gives some serious spring to your step, and also a boner sometimes, Let's assume I didn't say that. But yeah, caffeine can really spruce you up if you feel like a bit of a laggard. And a double espresso can get you to do a 100 push-ups straight.
But what happens when you combine the two? A social lubricant+ smarts inducing fluid with good old caffein? Do you get a potion to everlasting(long-lasting) creativity? Or do you end up with a goopy feeling?
To answer such inconsequential queries, yours truly conducted one of the most un-thought of experiments in the history of mankind. One bottle of beer, one can of Red Bull, another bottle of beer, another can of Red Bull, another bottle of beer, okay, that's enough fluids for the day. I honestly thought I'd give Shakespeare some serious competition after that string of drinking. And I did. To the effect that no one, even I can't decipher a word that I have written. But yeah, in the name of science, the experiment was a complete disaster, and not to mention, a complete waste of time. Not only was the Red Bull unsuccessful at keeping me awake yesterday(when I originally started writing this post), the beer was super effective at putting me to sleep. So creativity jumped right out of my bedroom window.
Now, onto some random, but nevertheless astute observations... Save for the Maruti Alto, the price of every single car on sale has shot through the roof in the past decade. Hatchbacks that costed 4 lakh, now cost 6. cars that costed 6 lakh, now cost 10. Remember the Skoda Octavia? The older one that quite literally looked like a tank, and was even built like a tank? It costed about 10-12 lakhs when it came to India. Now, it costs nearly 20. But my problem is with the Wrigleys Orbit. The chewing gum, that is. In 2005, it costed Rs 5. In 2016, it costs Rs 5. With the only difference being that now, you get 5 pieces of gum instead of the 6 that you used to get earlier. What makes me wonder is exactly how much did Wrigley's profit out of the one missing piece of gum per pack? Is that profit worth dissing nearly every customer? One piece of gum? Just one? महंगाई डायन खाए जावत हैं।
