a heartbeat away- the book is going fine. just that there is one ghost character in the plot. and I don’t like that part of the book. hehe.. lets go back in time. I was in school then. Varya the tomboy or to be precise the strong woman that she was even then, used to read books titled 1000 Mysterious Murders, 100000 Most famous Ghost Tales..Everytime I used to go to her place to play the board game, that creepy book cover used to put me at unease. Cautiously, I used to pick up the book and keep it face down.
That particular day Varya was too bored to oblige her harmonium mentor and wanted an early break from the everyday music at her Music class. She begged, pleaded and begged to me that I come along, I mean go along with her and tell the music maestro that I was her elder sibling and I needed her to leave class half an hour early. Idle as ever, I bestowed a favour on my dear friend. All smiles, and grins Varya turned the book face up and said, “ When I would be busy creating music.. lets take this book to keep you cheerful and interested. Read this one-500 Real Ghost Encounters, real experiences of Amithabh Baccahan, Rajesh Khanna, etc. etc.”
I begged, pleaded and begged that I would really like to see her play the harmonium. She insisted and I had read some of those stupid stories. As a result, I had refused to go home alone after introducing myself as Varya’s elder sibling.
Varya had called today.. I was sitting at the dentist’s. She laughed and said, “you still get scared..” I said I don’t..i am to go to her place tomorrow for ganpati.
