Hey! There's a bomb in my puttu.....

This incident happened couple of days back when we got hungry at 12 midnight(again). Its kind of mandatory for students of the GEC men's hostel to feel hungry at late hours. But its us alone, and not the abrupt dinner time of 7 P.M or the bad food of the mess, who are responsible(satire intended). Anyhow, we settled to buy "Puttu and Kadala" from Double X( I realized that each and every word in that sentence must have felt funny to the marwadis but well....). Now definitely many of you might not know what puttu or kadala is so I am gonna tell you. Puttu is a Keralite dish made from rice in cylindrical shapes. It is steamed and extremely delicious so everyone but especially the health conscious people can enjoy it. Kadala on the other hand is our "Chana". This is the standard combination puttu and kadala curry, but the best thing about puttu is that it can be eaten with almost any dish, veg or non-veg(Go check it out on the wiki, I bet your mouth would start watering). Double X is the pilgrimage for every hungry hostler in Thrissur. Its a restaurant that opens at 11 at night!!! and remains opened till 5 in the morning(If I am wrong correct me please my fellow hostlers). Its good food plus available at reasonable rates. So as Prashanth and Varun set out to buy us the food, this is what happened.

They were stopped by a police patrol who were doing random checks to prevent terrorist activities such as bombings. Now according to Kerala police, puttu is a very potent explosive and combined with kadala its lethal. Its not wrong that they were stopped for checking at midnight, but they were kept humiliated for 20 mins even when the police came to know that they were just going to buy some food. So what did they thought, that two lungi clad goofy looking kids are going to blow up something. Like, yes the engineering students in Thrissur have come up with new terror devices: 1.Puttu bomb(with kadala it works like clay-more), 2. Dosha detonator, 3. Vada killer(When used it sprays 'ulli chamandhi' in your eyes), 4. Poisnous Idli(Wait a minute...... we actually get that in mess)..... Anyways, what I mean to say is that it was illogical for the police to waste their time and prolong our hunger. And for God's sake, there is nothing even remotely important in Thrissur to be blown up, apart from the beautiful temples, churches and mosques of course, but then again terrorists only attack places where there is a crowd ;) (So police should tighten security near Vimala college, PC Thomas coaching center and every girl's hostel)

Well after 20 minutes of humiliation, abuse, discouragement and suicidal thoughts, my friends were left just like that, even when they didn't had their license or the papers for the vehicle. Now many of my Rajasthani friends might think, what a dumb police, they just let go some mullah. No No No my friends let me clarify it. Kerala police is actually smarter than Rajasthan police. You see, Rajasthan police would f**k you even if they know that you have no money. They will be satisfied with the little dough they get and leave their prey. Now this prey won't ever make the same blunder again due to fear. But Kerala police will let you go with just a warning, so you get happy and feel lucky. Then you try to do the same trick again thinking, "hey these cops are dumb enough", but this time Kerala police f**ks you big time, and they f**k you so hard that you won't have money even to buy an underwear.

All in all, everything after that went smoothly. We got our tummies full and had a good sleep but this bomb incident will be a memory.........at least for two people.
