This Love season Happy Nuts is presenting before you a CHAPTER from the love story of Laila & Majnu.

Laila: The most beautiful lady in her Kingdom & was a Damsel. In my words a HOT CHICK. She lived in a fortress surrounded by Berlin wall & to enter the Forbidden fortress one have to cross the Acacia Forest.


Majnu: The prince of SILICON VALLEY and a GEEK. But was in deeply love with our Laila.


Several days before the Season of Love arrived

Majnu was in a dilemma how to express his love towards Laila And Laila on other hand never spared time for him...!!! Finally an idea got decoded in his brain. He bought a parrot from the market for 500 bucks. But Majnu had to travel a lot to find the DESTINED BIRD.

He caged the bird in a GOLDEN CAGE & named it Laila. He cared it like his own baby & fed her tomatoes which were specially handpicked from the VEGETABLE SHOP. One fine day something unbelievable happened the bird talked, but only one word LAILA, this happened beacuse of our Majnu's passion & love. With few more days effort from Majnu's part the bird talked three more extra words I LOVE YOU.

The Season of love arrived

On the V-DAY our Majnu set forth on a journey towards the fortress to gift the birdie to Laila. After crossing the Acacia forest and reaching the Berlin wall, Majnu was stopped by the Knight's who guarded the Forbidden fortress. (No prince is allowed to enter the fortress) But our Majnu got a help from another princess, who lived in fortress and was a friend of Laila, and at 6:30PM she handed over the Birdie in the golden cage to Laila.

The princess' cant leave the Forbidden fortress after 6:30 PM & Majnu knew that the Birdie could at least spent one night inside the Forbidden fortress. But with the help of other princess' Laila got rid of the birdie and the birdie was thrown into the acacia forest. The birdie fell infront of the four legged beasts that inhabited the acacia forest, but luckily the Knight's rescued the birdie before it got barbecued.

The Knights felt pity for the birdie & Hung the cage in front of the Witch's room. The Witch was the Guardian Angel of all the princess' in the Forbidden fortress. Laila and her friends got annoyed on seeing the Birdie Infront of the Witch's room. Laila & her friends met The Witch & explained How and why the Birdie came into the Forbidden Fortress & requested to get rid of the Birdie or else it will be reminding Laila about Majnu.

After listening to all this The Witch said: The Birdie is not going anywhere and she stays here...
Now the Birdie is living happily inside the Forbidden Fortress Singing "Laila I love you... Laila I love you..."
Majnu is still living in a hope that one day Laila will understand his love

Love is always Patient and kind, its never jealous.
It is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offence and is not resentful.
Love is proof that there is an angel in everyone of us...
-A walk to Remember

6th January, The day "Mozart of Madras" Allah Rakha Rahman, The Lebanese-American artist, poet & writer Khalil Gibran & My dear greatest FRIEND Seriene celebrate their birthday.

This year there was not much planning & programming for the surprise birthday party or any kinda celebration. But he came into class, which was a bit of surprise for me & got enough birthday bumps. By afternoon team ostinato had somehow decided to go out in the evening to celebrate the birthday.

Mr.Richard took charge of organizing everything & we met at PMG, near Richard's hostel. But we were in a "SITUATION" due to his lack of communication. But we resolved it soon & reached our destination "ALL SPICE", our newest hangout place. Again another "SITUATION", "THE BIRTHDAY CAKE", had to wait for one hour to get the cake...

So we decided to fill our tummies till the cake gets ready. After one & half hour the BIRTHDAY CAKE was ready & looked like we cant finish the cake by ourselves so we decided to cut it at "TEMPLE", Seriene's house. So me & Richard went in Activa & Seriene and Ziyad left to take a bus.

8:30 pm, Me & Richard reached PONGAMOODU & a call came from my HOME asking me to get back HOME in 30 minutes, sheesh... spoiling our party. When i called Seriene to know their status, he said they are still walking towards Pattom from "All Spice". So i asked them to wait at PATTOM junction so that i can handover the cake to them.

As we reached PATTOM our plans changed... we decided to cut the cake at "THE PATTOM JUNCTION" itself... sounds crazy... so we plunged into the idea, another "SITUATION" arised there was no knife...!!! ZIyad said he will get it somehow & asked me & Seriene to wait. Richard & Ziyad set-out to fetch a knife, but Richard was so tensed thinking that our CRAZY IDEA will land us into trouble. Finally they came back after five-minutes with a knife... Ziyad came running holding a knife on his hand & an old man got frightened on seeing him. It looked like a PYSHCO running with a knife at the PATTOM junction. He got it from Baskin Robbins on a security of 100 bucks, he just entered the shop & explained the "SITUATION" but the shopkeeper was so reluctant to give, the 100 bucks played the trick & knife was in Ziyad's hand.

No candles & No cameras... The chocolate truffle cake on top of the Post-box... Four engineering students... A knife in hand... "Pattom Junction"... Nine at night... Wish the COPS could have also joined the party...!!!

Occasions like this never comes... So treasure those beautiful moments...

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed- Khalil Gibran

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERIENE
This one is dedicated to You...

All were eager to see the needles in their watches to reach 12:30Pm... Oh god... the tight scheduled seventh semester B.Tech exams came to a much awaited end... Phew...!!!

After a few scheduling, re-scheduling & planning we reached Kabab restaurant at pattom to take our lunch & celebrate the day. Me, Seriene, Richard, Osti , Melvin & Sandy. After the lunch we dropped Melvin at Hostel & had to pick up Noble, who was standing at the PMG Bus-stop after a big THEPP from Richard... lol...

Then we headed towards EASTFORT in Ostinato's very own wagon(My car). Reached EASTFORT & parked the car inside GANDHI-PARK & as we were heading towards the bus-stop... Seriene, Sandy & Richard ran on seeing the Low-floor bus...

Yeah the Newly introduced KSRTC's lowfloor bus, riding on it was our "PLAN OF THE DAY". Those guys ran like small kids running behind ice-cream vans...!!! By the time we managed to reach the bus-stop, there were two buses one going towards Technopark-Kanniyapuram & Other towards kowdiar, even though i wanted to take Kowdiar bus, others insisted to take the other bus. So without much arguments we entered the bus.

Bought tickets to Kanniyapuram, the last stop, for 38 bucks...!!! Me, Noble, Sandy & Osti stick to sit at front section(the low floor section) & Richard & Seriene moved to back seat(The upper section). On the way Mobin boarded from University, even though it was not a stop the conductor stopped the bus for us.

The Bus's worth 80 lakhs for that you can buy a Benz S-class, but you never expect such head-turning. Everybody's eyes are on the bus, from the small kiddies, ladies, motorists, old people each & everyone on the road cant take eyes out of the bus. Yeah the bus has "THE ENVY" factor, no wonder a KSRTC bus tried to hit the bus intentionally(FOR more details read METRO MANORAMA) .

The bus drove through university, GH junction, detoured from pallimukku towards Kannanmoola, through Medical college, ulloor, sreekaryam, Technopark & Finally reached kanniyapuram.

On the way at ulloor, the bus had a narrow escape from getting scratched, but an alto car had to face that brutal faith...!!!

We the reliable engineers on-board were closely examining & evaluating this engineering marvel from VOLVO. Starting from Driver's dashboard, it has almost all the controls of the bus. A camera at the rear, at the entrance, the clarity of the video is simply awesome. Infact it has the features of a luxury car on the dashboard. The seats are very comfortable, audio system, display panel etc... Should give 10/10 for the accessories in the bus. The conductor & bus driver were also friendly, they were sharing their experience in the new bus & was talking about the bus fares & all. For hospitality also 10/10.

From kanniyapuram we bought tickets back to EASTFORT. The bus started after a 10 minutes halt. The return journey was so romantic as it was raining outside. You can feel as if you are traveling in a SUV. The journey from kanniyapuram to Eastfort was 1 hour long. As per the conductor there are enough commuters in the bus all the time & 25% of people are like us who board to experience this new journey. As the bus is air-conditioned you wont feel tired even after a 2 & half hour journey...!!!

Better catch a seat infront, its like the business class with regard to comfort.

USP: Redefining city bus travel...

The gate was wide open & i was sitting inside the car. Just returned home & was getting out from the car. It was almost 8:15pm. There was no one in the road & KSEB street lights were flickering forming that extra topping to the Night scene.

I saw something moving into my car shed through the wide open gates. It was pitch black in color. I recognized the creature as it slowly came near to me. It was the black stray dog from my neighborhood, which has become a menace. It has already bitten many people & kids in my neighborhood. I slowly ran to backside of the car & searched for something big & heavy, finally my eyes caught a broken piece of brick & i didnt waste much time thinking. I Ran towards the beast, when the beast saw me with a brick in my hand. He realized what is going to happen next & ran away...

I threw the brick with maximum acceleration & BULLS EYE... it hit the beast with great precision...!!! Bingo...!!!

Happy saves the Neighborhood from the beast...!!!

Next day Morning...

When i got out of my house to take the newspaper, i saw that someone has messed up the garden & its evident that it has been done by a dog... The wounded beast has returned...The beast is still alive & has returned for vengeance...

& he has taken revenge on my slippers. One of the slipper is still missing... :(

Will he return???
Anyway his end will be in my hands... muhahahahahahaha...

Happy takes out the phone, gives a mischievous look at the phone and dials the number. The phone at the other end rings for half a minute, then the lady( who stays somewhere inside the network) says: THE VODAFONE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL IS CURRENTLY BUSY, PLEASE CALL AFTER SOMETIME.

Happy redials the number and the call gets connected.

Happy: Is this MS. Googly?

*Googly: Yeah.

Happy: Hi, this is RJ Kidilam Firoz of BigFM, calling from the programme Traffic-jam.

Googly: OK...!!!

Happy: Your friend *PKB gave this number, in this programme you can share some funny moment that happened to you. You have 3 minutes, think about something.

Googly: Funny moment!!! Oh god...!!! I cant remember anything...!!! Nothing of that sort happened...!!!
{Googly calls out her sister, sis i got a call from the BigFM, PKB gave my number... Sounding so excited she yells out sis come over here}

Happy: PKB told that you people had your school reunion recently, may be you can share something interesting that happened on that day.

Googly: Naah...!!! { From her sound we can sense that she was so suprised, shocked & blah blah...}

Happy: May be you can cook up some story.

Googly: Cook up?!?!?! Sorry i m not good at it.

Finally{May be with the help of her Intelligent sister, who was standing beside her} she comes out with an incident.

Googly: Ok, i got one & starts to narrate.

Happy: Wait a minute mam, get yourself ready in 10 seconds. After 10 seconds you will hear a BEEP sound & you will go ON AIR.

Googly: ON AIR???

Happy: I mean LIVE.

Googly: Ok Ok

After a few seconds, Happy pressed some key in the mobile to give the BEEP sound.

Happy: Goodevenings, you are now listeing to BigFM. This is Kidilam Firoz with you in Traffic-Jam. We have a caller on-line. She will be sharing a Funny moment that happened to her.
So Googly, share your experience.

Googly: Ok, this Happened about 3 years ago. Me with my family were traveling in the Delhi-Metro for the first time. We didnt know about how to take the tickets & all. Somehow with the help from Delhi-Metro people we took the Tickets to our destination & we were heading towards the destination in the metro. When we reached the Station, Me & my two sisters got down. But my parents were talking to some uncle & by the time they decided to get down, the doors were closed & train had already started moving.

Happy: { Visualising the scene in Karan Johar Style. Parents helplessly looking at their poor little Kids stranded in an unknown place through the GLASS window of the slowly moving METRO train}

Googly: We could make out that mom was Shouting at her highest peak & was signing us not to move anywhere...!!!

Happy: Laughing out loudly, that was a good one. Hope you girls obeyed to your mom's instructions. Ok then, do you want us to play any song for you?

Googly: Yeah, Song Vizhi Moodhi { Pronouncing it wrongly} from the tamil Movie Ayan.

Happy: Thanks for calling, your request will be played. Buhbye.
Happy was laughing out like a MAD MAN unable to control the laugh, water was coming out from the eyes & also the stomach was aching...!!! Slowly he came to senses & went to take a bath. When Happy returned after bath, found few misscalls from an unknown land number. Happy guessed, it might be from the Googly.

Happy tried to call back Googly, but she didnt attend the calls. Then he called PKB, he was laughing while taking the call.

PKB: Hey man you should have told me before, i had to tell that its your number. She called me & was very angry with me for giving her number to radio. But i had to admit that i never gave her number to anyone. Then only she narrated the whole thing. Man, you are great...!!! She really thought it was from the radio.

After a few minutes, Googly calls Happy.

Happy: Goodevenings, Kidilam Firoz here.

Googly: I would like to talk to Happy.

Happy: Ok... wait a second... Hi Googly, so how are you?

Googly: Hmmm... You fooled me because i was poor innocent harmless girl right???

Happy: Hehehehe... :D

The conversation continued, at first she was very Angry, slowly her temper lowered. But Happy continued BUGGING her.

THE END

Happy: The wannabe RJ, who is just a step away from becoming a RJ. Enacted as a RJ very well, Googly never felt any doubt.

Googly: Old classmate of Happy, studying outside Kerala. As she is not used to listen to local Radio channels, it became a weak point to get fooled by Happy.

PKB: Happy's best friend and partner in crimes. At times Happy becomes the victim of PKB's crimes & at rare occasions viceversa also happens.

CAUTION: Try these experiments at your own risk.

Aim: To break the POT-BELLY.

Requirements: Control of your desires & emotions, Patience, Belief, Commitment, Sacrifices etc...

Theory:
Dieting is the practice of ingesting food in a regulated fashion to achieve or maintain a controlled weight.(Here)

Yoga is a way of life, an art of righteous living or an integrated system for the benefit of the body, mind and inner spirit.

Aerobics is a form of physical that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching routines with the goal of improving fitness.

Procedure: Wake up early in the morning, drink 2 glasses of water. Do all your morning business. Have a bath(Recommended to take bath in cold water). Find a place, which is clean & plenty of air circulation is available. Do some warming up for eyes, head, neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, abdomen, thighs & legs. Now do Sooryanamaskaram( The more you do, the more benefit you get). After that, Lie down for few minutes, till your breathe becomes normal( I bet you are gonna pant a lot). Now slowly get up & do some aerobics, this you can perform by watching it on the TV, select a channel according to your taste( Both Male & Female instructors are available). Follow the instructions carefully(dont get flattered by their slim body). Finally do some meditation (should not be performed without proper knowledge).

Now moving to eating habits, only handful of food should be taken( 1 handful per meal). Drink lots of water, no break time snacks, eat fuits, drink fruit Juices. Highly recommended to have Vegetarian food. Skipping meals is harmful. Always involve in physical movement of the body. Follow the above mentioned experiments daily, without skipping any of the procedures.

Precautions:There is chance of falling asleep while relaxing after Sooryanamaskaram. While watching the Aerobics in TV, please control your feeling & emotions. The dieting part is the toughest one, if this part is not performed correctly, the desired results may not be achieved.

Result: Come on guys!!! You can not get an result in 2-3 days. Let me perform the experiments without any deviation & distractions for some more days.

This incident happened 2 days back, i was getting ready to go for a party & something unusual caught my eyes. I was standing infront of the mirror & i happened to see MY POT-BELLY. Its growing in size day by day & it has reached a catastrophic size!!! For a minute i wondered is there a baby growing inside my tummy... lol.... Jokes apart, lets be serious. How did this happen, i need to find a solution to neutralize its growth & destroy it for once & for all.

Suddenly my GOOD sole & my BAD sole came out of me.

GOOD soul: Happy, just look at your menu for the past 2 months

Happy's Menu: Pastries, Softies, Cakes, Burgers, Chicken lollipops, Cheese, Butter, Shaawarma, Shaawai, Chicken, Mutton, pork, Pepsi-Coke, Kerala style full thaali meals( Daily from my home, since my study holidays), curd, lays, bingo, cutlets, samosas, peanuts...

GOOD soul: Oh my god!!! Enough Happy enough... dont continue... stop here

Happy: [Blush]

GOOD soul: Hey man is there a BPL family inside your tummy??? From what you have eaten for the past two months, a whole BPL family can be fed for 365 days...!!! Dude if you continue in this manner, you wont require a dinning table, you can place your plate on your TUMMY.

Bad soul: Look... Dont listen to him...

The GOOD soul took out the shot gun & shot at the BAD sole's forehead

GOOD soul: Bull's eye!!!

Happy: GOOD sole how can you do this???

GOOD soul: Only HEADS talk, not the TAIL.

Happy: So what do you want me to do now?

GOOD soul: You have to perform what i say. The path is not simple, but you must follow me. Will you?

Happy: Hmmm... first of all let me listen to what i have to perform, then i'll think about it.

Finally Happy decides to follow THE GOOD soul. Leading to the commencement of EXPERIMENT NO: 100001

Time was 15 minutes past 2 in the afternoon, double hour of THERMAL ENGINEERING was going on. The temperature inside the classroom was well above 306 Kelvin & lot of murmuring was going on the class. The desk was filled with steam tables, calculators, books & all. I was sitting in between THE PILGRIM & THE RocK StaR [Read till last to know their real names ;)]. Everyone were involved in finding the solution to the problem sir gave.

The problem was related to what will happen to the steam when the pressure drops, isotropic reaction reaction takes place blah blah...

I was busy figuring out how to answer the question & finding values from the steam table. Suddenly The Pilgrim teared a paper from his book & started to write something. I didnt see what he was writing, i thought he might have understood how to find the solutions. After a few seconds i just glanced what he was doing, i saw him writing something else other than the TE problem. I thought "Oh... may be he is writing some letter to the HOD". After a few minutes he just passed the paper to me...

I read what he has written. After reading i felt like hugging him & standing up to congratulate this guy for doing such a great work. He has written a beautiful poem in the middle of TE class!!!

The poem goes on like this:

A lovely little cloud once fell in love

with the bright full moon.

Try as he might,

could the cloud not reach the moon.

The moon amused by the cloud,

winked at him in mock.

For the moon had seen

many such little clouds.

Hurt the cloud cried itself

into rain & fell upon barren land...

And where upon he fell, LIFE was born...

I showed the poem to The Rockstar, he too was excited to read the great creation. All of a sudden he started to argue that we cant imagine 'The Moon' to be a female & all. Pilgrim started to give the explanations, before their volumnes started to increase i just alerted the guys that we are sitting in TE class. The double hour was over within no time & we came out of class typing the poem to forward it everyone. [especially to the girls who love poems ;)]

NB: People with Broken hearts become great poets...

The Pilgrim: Seriene Mohammed

The Rockstar: Visakh.K [ please note its Visakh not Vaisak ;)]

Oh god!!! I really really hate this subject called CHEMISTRY!!!

I think you also do, right?

I think its till 10th that i loved this subject, may be its cos we were dealing with simple & fundamental things like preparation of soaps, hydrocarbons, acid rain, ddt etc... Its in 11th & 12th that i started hating this subject like HELL. Its these chemistry periods that i hated the most, i would just sit and look at my watch trying to fly away the 40 long long mins. My chemistry class note really looks like a ROUGH BOOK, all scribblings mostly done not by me but by EBIN, we used 2 play BINGO, draw our Chemistry Dracula's pics, anything & everything that will eat away our chemistry period. Luckily i had a good chemistry tuition sir, its cos of him that i had lil bit of love for this subject & get away with somewhat good marks.

Chemistry lab periods were time to have total fun. Yeah of course there were some bad times also, but these things are complementary. Its the place where i dreamed of discovering great chemicals & all lol... Wearing the knee length lab coat was the thing i hated the most in lab! later i cropped it to my own design ;). The cat-ion & an-ion tests on different salts was something that i hated the most. Always repeating the same experiments again & again, this was something boring. Then i found a solution, i discovered that me, Indu & Archana used to get the same salts. So my job became easy, confirm whether my salt & their salts are same. But sometimes, very rarely, they also find it to hard to confirm the salt. Then i have to sit & do all the experiment!!! This free time i create in lab is dedicated to experiments i do on different chemicals, once i just mixed all the remaining contents of confirmation test into one beaker & poured some conc. h2so4. The whole room got filled with the smoke which came from beaker, thank god! Deepa mam was not there else " Sankaran would have climbed the coconut tree". Once, while doing the experiment a stupid idea stuck my mind. What if the world ends tomorrow? I have to do something for the new world so that they dont havta burn their brains in discovering the salts. So i wrote the whole salt tests in a bunch of paper, wrote my name, year etc... & placed it deep inside the wooden box where acids are kept. Thinking that it will be discovered by the new human beings who will inhibit the earth, after the end of ours!!! But soon after we passed out of school, whole lab got modernised. :( There are many more incidents like this, but i bet you i have not broken a single test tube in chemistry lab, ofcourse i have broken some in bio lab!!!

But guys, chemistry is not so bad as u think. Its the way we deal & look at the subject. Once we change our attitude towards the subject, it becomes a piece of cake. I realised this fact now only. Now i really really love this subject. Above all i apologize to my chemistry teacher MS. Deepa for hating her, playing pranks on her & for coming out with new new nick names for her. I am really sorry mam...
