She’s full of fizz, she’s unmistakably bubbly and can help me unwind in a flash after a hard day’s work; she fills the room with her rich amber hue and she’s probably the only one who can seduce me into spending my evening with her through thick and thin….
Hold your horses ladies and gentleman; this is not a ‘reveal all’ column and I am merely referring to my evening mug of brew. The truth is, that she is all of this and more and literally makes me dance to her tune, every evening..
But that isn’t the point of this ode to my own version of the bubbly. This is about life and what makes it such a dream. It does have this unique capability to make you unbelievably resilient, be it the summer. a power cut or even a bad day at work. I must add, however, that this bad day at work phenomenon I left behind me a few years ago.
No this isn’t about a Godman teaching me about positive thinking but more about my own conviction of breaking the norm.
I fell a prey to a lot of those famous terms ‘bad day at work’, ‘stressful life’ and ‘ am surviving’ and ‘ damn, life sucks’ and landed myself into the clutches of an amazingly ingenious shrink who believed there is nothing more fulfilling in life than prescribing an entire pharmacy at each sitting.
Well, he did get what he wanted am sure from the pharma world; Or at least derived some sadistic pleasure in seeing his patients shrivel to the point of death…
But let me tell you Dr. Anant Undertaker ( name changed to protect his posterior from public induced trauma ) that I am still very much alive and kicking harder than I ever did..
Just in case you don’t know what that means, please do feel free to present your ample posterior in front of me one of these days!
But let me not get carried away now; so getting back to the subject of life, I will now explain the concept of Mindful Levitation and my experiments with truth..
‘The art of staying focussed to the core objective of consuming beer, combined with the life changing after-effects is in layman’s language termed ‘Mindful Levitation’,
Now, it doesn’t really matter if it’s only me who thinks so…
The larger picture here, is the adoption of this technique and how it can help you with the truth. For the record., truth is anything that isn’t a figment of anyone’s imagination. Hence, as you read this, there is truth being passed on from this author, right at this moment.
Be aware and imbibe it with an open mind. Remember to breathe slow and deep. This helps concentration and will connect you with your higher being.
As you will notice, (this is directly proportional to the number of mugs consumed) you will soon being the journey into an elevated state.
Do not for once confuse this with getting “high”, “pissed” and so on. All those things afflict only lesser mortals.
This is about connecting with your inner self. A state of intended and induced oblivion. But only to the point of the immediate environment, no matter how complex it may be.
Let me explain this elevated state with the example of how this author can switch off from the constant din of disturbed souls on television or for that matter, even be deaf to the ‘hard facts’ being propounded by an incessantly screaming brigade. This I believe, is termed a news channel in today’s world.
Beer can instantly make you resilient to those amazing flying objects called the anopheles, who for some reason, do not like some brands of the brew.
As you may have guessed, I have figured the safe brands over a period of time.
Strangely. the state government isn’t really helpful on this matter; It has this unique sixth-sense and manages to hike duties and levies on my brand of choice. I did tell them that it’s actually a larger issue which may have a ripple effect and cause widespread mosquito borne infections, but they didn’t seem to accept my theory.
For the record, Albert Einstein or for that matter, Galileo Galilee went through similar pangs before the world accepted their hypotheses.
I must confess that this is just the tip of the iceberg and my experiments with truth cannot be chronicled over one article. But, for the moment, I shall leave you with these thoughts in order for you to practice the art of bonding with your higher being.
Do not forget, that this is about Mindful Levitation; It’s, however, imperative that this is carried out with the utmost honesty and respect for beer.
And yes for you, dear Anopheles, go ahead and find your prey among the uninitiated lesser mortals.
