Curious Incident of the 'Beer Man'



I was working on my article when my boss walk passed me and left the newspaper, Times of India, on my colleague's desk who was absent today. The paper was open to its inside page (on the Times Nation section). My eyes got fixed to a headline that said, "Serial Killer 'Beer Man' gets life term." It scampered away my attention from my work, and I jumped to read the whole story.

Here’s the ‘Beer Man’ romanticizing:-

My Name - Ravindra Kantrole
My Fame - I am Your 'Beer Man', baby...Want some?
My position- Mumbai Meri Jaan
My Passion - I love killing people when they're asleep
My Breakthrough Moment - 11th January, 2007
My First Gift - I stabbed him nearly 20 times on his chest, abdomen, arms and thighs; and I felt so good.

How many so far – Seven Deadly Sins (cases)

It’s My Way – I entice my fellow-beings with beer before I take my final shot and celebrate their end.

My Motive – I leave my epithet over their dead bodies with an empty beer can.

I am – Your very own - Beer Man

i liked the words here. all kinds of words. it's called freewriting. bill bernbach - the ad legend - used to write this way.

and yea...this blog has an interesting reader profile. most of them are trying to match your writing style. the insights. the form. and words are raw honest enough to evoke a digital debate of sorts. how'bout a video comment :)

good stuff. u r good.

Beer man, a killer? sheesh! sounds like a character from Cartoon Network!

@Mirage...
hey welcome back...

i gave tht name to this killer bcos he leaves an empty beer can over the dead bodies as a signature...and when the story came (in the paper)...it was "beer man turns killer" or something like that...and when i read the story, i was reading this book Curious Incident of a Dog (which was a bore)...and that's how i came up with the title for this article...
