A toast to the Mahatma?
Gandhi Jayanthi. One public holiday on which you won't hear boisterous cheers as beer mugs clink together. The one day you'll actually notice that someone has passed out on the pavement before you gingerly avoid stepping over him. The day drinkers mi ght wonder why they feel a pang of guilt as they down another shot of whiskey. What do people in the Pub City do on the day they're forced to be sober (even when they're not driving), because the law deems that all liquor shops, pubs and bars close s hutters on October 2? Can Gandhi take away our tourist attraction? Or is October 1 the day to stock up, so you can hiccup the next? ROHINI MOHAN finds out if our citizens care to be one-day teetotallers.
