Now let’s talk about this. Crisis hits you before you hit a quarter-life crisis.
The recent raise in the drinking age limit to 25 years in Maharashtra have baffled many people and have caused an unrest especially amongst the youth.
Not only does the drinking age hike sounds illogical but also raises questions on our youth being mature and responsible enough to handle their drinks before 25. Particularly when you are allowed to vote, marry at an age of 18, then why does one need to wait till 25 to pour a drink in his/her glass.
The judicial and jugaad system go hand in hand with each other in our country. Several laws are in any case breached due to availability of back door, under the table and many other compromising methods. Ironically, we have set our working motto like ‘Where there is a government’s will, there is always a shortcut way out of it’.
To make it worse, implementation of such irrational laws give more fodder for illegality to flourish. It’s not surprising, that many a times people who enforce such absurd laws are considered as hypocrites making a mockery of themselves. The point of concern here is not about curbing the ill effects of drinking but restricting one from choosing his/her way of living.
Can the concerned authorities come out of their hangover and get back in their senses where they can rethink about issues in a rational way? Can a practical approach be considered to revise the drinking age limit? Can there be laws set where you can at least think of abiding before ridiculing them?
Till something actually changes, we shall raise our voice, express our point of views and then wait and watch. Can anything else be done? The question remains unanswered.

That’s about it; I am making a kind off abrupt end because raising your voice and opinion - yeh sab toh hote hi rehta hai...it’s my time to raise a toast ‘Aee Ganpat,chal daaaru laa’....
