Drunk..

Few days back, we had a christmas party at the company I am currently working as an intern. It was not the greatest, you know. The crowd that is employed are years older than us-interns. And their kids are way younger than us.

There were some lame games for the employees.. and their kids.. which were somewhat fun to watch..
And not to forget.. there was a nice donkey.. (which I took a photogrpah with..:) )

Anywho, the party.. like many such parties here in SriLanka, had free drinks for the crowd..

I don’t take alcohol.. but I dont have anything against people who drink.. I mean, if you want to spend money to take something that does nothing but harming your health.. who cares.. And it’s darn bitter as well.. I really don’t see what’s in it for them.. but hey, i guess there must be something fun about alcohol… after all, loads of poeple seem to think so..

Drinking is actually ok.. but being drunk.. oh that kinda sucks..
I think I saw the most drunkard fella of my life in this party..
It was senior engineer that we all respect.. who is kinda silent, reserved, very professional.. and an expert in his area of work..
After the drinks, he transformed in to this weird creature, who dances around.. jabberring stuff about a frined who is most probably imaginary..
I have seeing people drunk.. but never have I seen a transformation this significant..

I never had an idea of how low a person can be dragged down by drinking. And hadn’t I seen it for myself, I would have never thought such a behaviour would be depicted by Mr Drunk.

It was not contempt that came over me.. I was more sorry… How could a human being bring their selves to such a situation.. I mean, aren’t humans supposed to be.. i dunno.. the most intelligent animal. And it’s more worrying.. coz this person (Mr Drunk) was actually intelligent.. professional and a one of the poeple I looked up to..

Anywho, I couldnt hep wondering.. who is real ‘Mr Drunk’. Is he the silent professional person we see when he is sober.. Or is he the one dancing around..
I wonder.. are we what we are when we control ourselves.. or when we let our selves run free..

I like to belive it is both.. we are what we are when we let our selves run free.. but the controls we put, are also a part of us.. coz in the end, it is really our choice..
