Cheers for Beer!!

Beer is the world's most widely consumed and probably the oldest of alcoholic beverages; it is the third most popular drink overall, after water and tea.

Most beer is flavoured with “hops”, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative, those who have a taste for real Beer like it strong and bitter. Probably that is the reason, why women are not famous as beer lovers.

 We all have heard of the expression "beer belly". It's famous worldwide. A lot of people (mostly men) suffer from having it and wish to get rid of it. So, the Chinese have now come up with a ZERO-FAT drink as a blessing in disguise for binge drinkers. It is basically a rice beer currently available in the country, TsingTao (pronounced ching-thao), and has no glycerine, making it starch and fat-free. The beer also lasts for about a year, which will add to its popularity. Launched on 3^rd Feb (The Chinese New Year) this beer won’t give you beer burps as it goes down rather smoothly because of the rice content. 

The Beer is of mild taste, so it’s recommended to be paired up with spicy food like Mughlai and Chinese Schezuan dishes.

A Mexican company has launched a new beer aimed at the gay and lesbian community that will also be exported to other countries. The "honey flavoured" beer will initially be sold in Mexico and later exported to Colombia and Japan. The beverage comes in two different types of packaging, Salamandra and Purple Hand, which recalls a famous gay rights protest in San Francisco in 1969.

The label is designed in a way that enables consumers to remove it from the bottle and display it as a sign of gay pride. The company is also planning to launch a strawberry flavoured beer.

In India, the best, top 5 brands of beer are:

1. Kingfisher

2. Haywards

3. Royal Challenge

4. Kalyani Black Label

5. Kings

Freak Accident in my neighbourhood

In the last two months, I have personally witnessed 2 major accidents on the Ring Road at the Raja Garden intersection which is like at 2 min. walking distance from my home.

Day before yesterday at around 2 a.m in the morning there occurred a massive accident at the same place.

I didn't know about it until in the morning my dad came home after his morning walk. He called me and then we went to the site where this disastrous accident which took 2 lives took place.

According to the news and the people who were there the accident involved 4 vehicles. There was no eyewitness so the actual sequence of the event is not certain.

The police said that while a "tempo trailer" was on its way to Narayana to Dhaula kuan, the driver either lost balance or in order to overtake a "small goods carrier"   hit it at the intersection. The impact was so enormous that the goods carrier shoved about a 100 metres and crashed the road driver and literally crushed a Tata Sumo and a motorcycle.

Some pavement dwellers who were sleeping got crushed too. The drivers of the 3 vehicles ran away and 6 people are severely injured and admitted at the DDU hospital.

I took a few picture of the SMASHED tata sumo, the good carrier, the tempo, the thrashed intersection  and the whole "army" of reporter and news channel's vans. 

                     

 

 

      

This " Freak " accident has left me amazed and i wonder that our life actually has no guarantee at all.. Anything can happen at any point of time and change our lives completely.
