Yes, females are welcomed with a silent rude awe and an utter stun when they make their way through a dingy 2 X 2 local ‘Wine and Beer’ shop in a locality. The morale/empowerment/equality element surrounding this article is massive, pretty good for a separate topic and...

India sure has a booming liquor market, three hic’s to that. People love this tipsy liquid and its making its way from the dusty store shelves to our food.
