AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why alcohol is connected to freedom? These days, just to prove a point people, specially women too have started drinking in the name of freedom 😡 but isn’t real freedom not needing a drink to be happy ? Isn’t real freedom that I don’t need a drink to forget my problems because like an adult one has solved them or faced them ? 

Yes the sign of an adult is that one faces the challenge, tries to understand the real problem and finds healthy ways of dealing with it, in fact growing through it. Alcohol is never a solution. It only complicates the problem further.  We Indians believe in the continuity of progress beyond one life.

But much of humanity today is weak and easily allows evil to take hold and grip our mind and heart and soul.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
