Wine, Women and Cheese

One friend advised here, enjoy Europe with its wine, women and cheese. I am still stuck with first only.

Not so many friends around and I am practicing telepathic shouts.

Nice dialogoues always catch attention. Followings about alcohol:
1) Beer is the biggest proof that God loves us all.
2) Reality is an illusion when not under influence of alocohol.
3) Cocktail and revolution, both straighten the men till the next.

And, following some more:
1) Aerosmith's How are you: I am FINE: Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional.
3) Do you like sex? Yes. Do You like travel? Yes. Then, Fuck Off....

One sombre note:
Fools and fanatics are always certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts.

Then why confidence to the level of hubris is such a sought after trait.

Proverbs/Colloquial/Muhaaware

Indeed the jewels of the language. Some of the recent ones I came across:

1) Kutte ko ghee hazam nahin hotaa (The dog can't digest the butter- The lowly person can't appreciate the highly things)

2) Begaani shaadi mein mullaa deewaanaa (The priest is loving someone else's marriage- getting affected by other's affairs).

3) Nayaa Dhobi Saabun Zyaadaa Lagaataa Hai (The new washerman applies more soap/detergent- the new apprentice/worker makes more efforts)

4) In German: An Rheumatismus und wahre Liebe glaubt man erst, wenn man davon befallen wird. (Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach)

(One believes in Rheumatismus and true love only if one will strike of it.)

5) Haathi nikal gayaa, poonch rah gayi. ( The elephant could pass but his tail got stuck- Big matter resolved but small matter remained).

6) Bhaashan kam raashan zyaadaa. (Do less talk and more grocery(work))

7) Pratishtha mein praan gawaanaa. (To die for prestige- bearing pain for want of prestige).

Many of the aboves are courtesy my good friend, AS being one.
