An idea can change your life

When Island express reached Ernakulam town I was reading Chetan Bhagat’s famous novel five points someone. I was little curious to know that Hari will bump into Prof Cherians daughter Neha. If that happens the coming chapters will be more exciting. But at the same time I couldn’t control my sleep and my eyes are literally shut. It was almost 2pm and town railway station was as hot as furnace in the July afternoon

I closed my novel and went to upper birth to sleep. I was awakened soon by someone speaking loudly in the compartment. I lifted my head and tried to capture on what is going on? I saw two people are just below my birth. One is bleeding and the other was consoling him. He was saying.

“Hay calm down, calm down just cool down and relax.”
“And sit here.”

He left after sometime and the train started moving towards Trichur. By this time my sleep had gone somewhere and I was just curious to know what exactly happened to this chap and came down

Our hero is around 25 years old and studying in a college. He is tall and thin. He looks like a chocolate hero with little beard. He was wearing a tshirt and jeans. He is from an affluent family in Trichur

Hay let me ask what happened to you. Your wounds are bleeding and you need medical treatment.

He looked at me and wept. I didn’t know what to do next. I asked Hay do you need any help. You look like that you from a decent family. What is the matter? You can tell me.
After some time he started to narrate his story. It all happened with this mobile phone and he picked a Nokia’s latest set from his jeans pocket. I got this damn thing few months back. I have been collecting money for the last few years to buy a mobile phone. Finally I got this one.

One fine Sunday I was about to visit a friend and I got a missed call. After saying this he made a sound like “Aaaah” out of pain.

I thought it must be one of my friends from a local booth. But a closer look changed my thinking that the STD code showed that it is someone who called me from alleppy district. I called back. The one who took the phone was a Girl called Nina. This was the beginning of my tragic life.

Hay I am sorry but what is your good name?

Vinod he replied. If you don’t mind, let share a tea I asked.

Of course he replied and Island express was approaching Trichur station slowly.


While he was sipping tea Vinod told me Nina’s voice was very sweet and I started to call her daily and our relationship grew day by day. One day I told my friend Asok about the incident. Asok was quite surprised. I told him its actually impossible for me now to live without calling Nina. She is very nice. I given her number to Asok.

Asok was Vinod’s classmate. He had to appear for the examination and was busy with studying. Oneday Asok got bordom after his studies and just dialled Nina’s number. Nina picked the phone and started talking with Asok. Asok never told Nina that I am Vinod’s friend.

Now the picture is that Nina started giving missed calls to both of us and both spent so many cards by making STD calls to Nina.

Days passed on. One day Asok met one of his friends Roopesh at a mall in Trichur and told him about his mobile love story but he never told Roopesh that he actually got the number from Vinod. Vinod is also Roopesh’s friend.

Roopesh just had a break up with his girl friend and was in search for a girlfriend. So after reaching home Roopseh just given a missed call to Nina and Nina given a missed call back to roopseh. On seeing Nina’s missed call on the cell roopseh called Nina immediately. Nina didn’t disappoint him too and entertained him daily


On a cool evening Vinod proposed to Nina saying that even if I didn’t meet you, I know that you are born for me on this world and I am ready to marry you. Nina also couldn’t control the emotions and accepted it. But Nina didn’t stop giving missed calls to the other two characters and continued romantic conversation with them too.


Oneday Vinod told Nina that I am coming to Cochin.So if you could reach there we can meet. So many times Vinod invited her but she declined. This time Nina couldn’t control her temptation and agreed to it. That was too much for Vinod .He suddently called Asok and told him that finally she agreed to meet him at Cochin. But Asok also requested her so many times to meet him. But she declined.

Out of jealous Asok asked Vinod about the place and time for the scheduled meeting and decided to be there. On that night Roopesh called Asok and Asok narrated the whole incident to Roopseh. Now both Asok and Roopesh were jealous about Vinod.


Finally the day has come. Vinod got up very early and bump into his latest t shirt and jeans and set out for ernakulam railway staion. By this time his two friends were also on the way\ to ernakulam. The funny thing is that even Asok didn’t know that Roopseh is also following him.

Vinod came exactly at 10 o clock in front of ernakulam town railway station and waited for Nina. Nina came by Allepy Ernkulam passenger train at 10-15 and they met each other. Nina was really beautiful. Upon seeing this our other two friends jumped into the scene. A fierce battle followed among them for Nina.

The fight continued for 10 minutes and by this time railway police came to the spot, arrested four of them and taken them to station. Police called Nina’s father . It took tow hours for him to reach Kochi from alleppy and was very tense. Police warned Nina’s father and Nina and allowed them to go. After questioning Nina's father police came to know that Nina's marriage was actullay fixed with another guy!

By this time police took Vinod into hospital for treating his bleeding nose and put some stiches. One of Vinod’s uncle who is working in cochin came to the station to meet Vinod. Uncle then brought Vinod to ernakulam station to catch 2pm island express.

I looked at Vinod and couldn’t say anything. What should I say? I just asked him what is your sim card?

He replied "Idea"

I thought "Hmmmm An idea can change your life"
