Diwali Drinking

Posted on Sep 25, 2008 by Magandeep Singh

‘Tis the season to be jolly, well, if you happen to be in India that is. For the western world, Christmas is still some time away. But this is perhaps the best time to be in India, for a mix of reasons, each as convincing as the next. The social life cycle of an average Indian takes a more or less predictable path all through the season from hereon and this is what most of us will experience.

Posted on Aug 21, 2008 by Steven Spurrier

Reflecting upon the literally poor public awareness about wine in general and wine appreciation/ wine tasting in particular, wine lovers have been led to take up the cause solemnly and venture into joining hands together, to unfold the best of colors, aromas and tastes of wines to the world.

Used in Christian and Jewish ceremonies such as the Eucharist and Kiddush, the drink is popular in European regions of Greece and Rome since 6000 BC. In fact the Greek God Dionysus and the Roman god Bacchus is said to have represented Wine.

Hola readers,

This happens to be my first entry on my WSI blog. Somehow they have consented to giving me much independence and allowed me to express openly and, as you many of you may expect from me, bluntly.

Consider this, dear reader, my solemn promise to always and forever think, write, say, and do the same thing - to have coherence and inner-agreement of thought and action. If ever you find or feel me faltering, let me know. I owe it as much to you as to the team at WSI.
