Duwidha ( only for 18 and above )

T20 India and Australia match. I was with some of my friends at their home watching the match. Someone opens up the fridge and asks if anyone needs any drink. And then without waiting for response he took out some bottles and passed it on. I got one orange juice bottle with soda in it. I took a sip. It didn't feel right. I still keep on drinking it. After some time, Ameya offered me his coke. I took and put my bottle in his hand. He said, "Main yesh nahi pita." I - "kya baat kar raha hain? Tune cold drink kabase chhoda?" Ameya - "Cold drink to abhi tak nahi chhoda, or alcohol to bachpanase chhoda hain." I - "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????????" Then I took a look at the contains of that drink. It was having full 2.5% of alcohol. "oh God, what have I done?" I thought. My 25 ( ok, add around 2 or 3 ) years of without alcohol life was in waste. One of my principle not to drink alcohol was crushed under my own throat. "kisiko chahiye kya yeh?" I shouted. No one raise their hands. "Koi pinewala hain nahi to yeh kisake liye laye tha?". One of them said, "mere liye laya tha. Lekin ab aapne jutha kar diya." "Yeh bewade log jutha vagaira kabase dekhne lage", I thought. But that means that bottle was not going anywhere. Either I have to finish it, or I have to throw it away. But again I can not throw it, as my other principle says, "Do not throw away food." Abe main duwidha me tha. In either way, I have to break one of the principle. I again looked at the bottle. I feel that the bottle is requesting me and telling me to finish it. I can see the pity in her eyes. By the time I took decision, Yuvraj had came for batting. If India gets a six in this over, I will drink it or else I will throw it. The second ball of his inning, Yuvraj pull Brett Lee for six. Seems like he was reading my mind. He had made the decision for me. I have to throw away my alcohol principle. And with that I put the bottle in my mouth. Now I think I took the right decision. Not drinking alcohol, is good for only me, but wasting food is bad for rest of the world. With thousands of people in the world dying with the hunger everyday, it would have been a big sin to throw away that drink. The drink that I have saved, can serve someone to his/her life. I think I have done one big good thing for the world by drinking that bottle and the world ( that means all you readers ) should repay it by giving me something in back.
