This one's really cute!!
Got a mail from parents the other day (written by Dad, of course!!).Couldn't help rolling on the floor with laughter at paragraphs written by him (given below). Here goes :-

=====================================================
"I have something to share with you all ! Read on....
The story is captioned, " Isla & The Choozas " ! Ever heard of it ? It goes something like this -

Qurrat stole away, actually had taken away three choozas, ie, chicks, from Mom in the garb of taking careof them sometime ago, when Mom was going to Cochin to attend awedding. As you all must be knowing, Qurru has an uncanny sense of love for the birds and had killed about a dozen of them when she was very very young - over feeding every one of them - of course,withtons of love for them !
Coming to the present, Qurru got a job with ICICI......whatever, and has to fly around a lot to all the funny places in the country. So, the choice of looking after the choozas in Q's absence falls squarely on the broad shoulders of Isla ! Now, this is something what Isla had not bargained for all his life !!"Looking after Qurru was bad enough and now, this....! What the heck... ?", fumed Isla. However, there is nothing much he could do about ! His dear Mom-In-Law is not too keen to take the chicksback either ! Now, Isla is stuck with taking care of the chicks - theirfeed, water, cooing to them, cleaning up their mess( in coarse terms,it is known as 'shit' ) et al.....! Short of singing a soliloquy, Isla, the poor victim of terrible circumstances, is doing everything, for the sake of survival....! So, that's it, folks. More on this in the next issue - if the chickssurvive till then !
See you on the 15th of the next month.
Take care !

With Tons Of Love,

Mom & Dad.

For the uninitiated ,
Qurrat = short for Qurrat-Ul-Ayn (My sister)
Q = short for Qurrat
Isla = Q's long-suffering Hubby.
