I had a hilarious experience many yeas ago when I traveled to
Ahmedabad and found myself in a room at a top hotel one steaming hot afternoon.I called the room boy and requested him to fetch some cold beer. I should have known better. The room boy gave me a look of pity , for my total ignorance. ‘Saab Gujerat is a dry state’ he reminded me.. But he was a pragmatic guy and told me of a loophole in the law which I could use to my advantage. ‘Come with me to the basement where you will find a clerk of the excise department. You can apply for a temporary liquor permit on health grounds. All that is required is for you to fill a form and pay Rs. 15’ he said , his face lighting up .So off I proceeded to the august presence of the powerful official in whose hand lay the future of my throats .I paid him the amount and he placed the all important form before me. I doubled up in laughter and then fumed with anger at the very first entry in the form which was in Hindi.
