...
and Congratulations Hero on your...
Today was indeed a long long day for me . Reason , being a part of the crowd looking to book their seat in the hostel . Majority of the students reached the management block as early as 4 in the morning as no one was ready to take a chance . There are only 104 rooms available in the E block and students were more , causing a rush for the hostel allotment .
I , being a part of the crowd was sitting at the stairs for a long part of the morning . The whole environment was filled with the sound of chit – chats , buzz and occasional verbal outbursts from few desperate ones . But at 7′o clock , when the doors were being opened and the much enthusiastic students entered the block , there was a new sound to be heard . CRAASSHHHHH …….. The glass partition in the middle of the hall was unable to bear the pressure applied and thus , came down with a loud thud on the floor .
I have not seen such a rush in my life , not even during the counselling .The college management failed in handling the whole situation .It was panic everywhere . It was clear that its not worth being a part of the pulls and pushes and we would be better off coming back after some time .
Now comes the interesting part of the story . There is a room on the first floor ( E-231 )
where a student committed suicide a few years back . This room has not seen an inhabitant for many years . Last year , a guy dared to go for this room but eventually , he backed off after 2 months declaring that the room was haunted and the spirit in the room was not allowing him to live there peacefully . Now after that incident no one was ready to book that room .
12′o clock . After a lot of efforts , being thrown out a multiple number of times , being scolded by the Dean and warden a couple of times , initiating a number of quarrels among the students , finally we were able to enter the room where the allotment was under process . Slowly but surely the queue was moving . A number of dudes were entering the queue from the sidelines , decreasing the probability of the people behind them of being allotted a room . I kept watching .
1′o clock . Only 3 students between me and the window and after waiting for so long , I knew now it was just a matter of time .
10 minutes later , a declaration came from the warden , ” Room in the E block are full . Rest of the students are advised to go back now .”
After waiting for so long , a news like that was heart breaking for me . I was late and now it was not worth staying here . I mumbled in my mind ,” I should go back now and rethink on what to do now .” I just reached the doorsteps when a thought flashed into my mind ,” Have someone gone for E-231 .” I rushed back to check . It was still vacant .
Me : Sir , E-231 is still vacant . Please give me that room .
Warden looked at the cashier and both of them smiled .
Warden : Are you sure ? Do you know that ……….
Me : Sir , I know everything and I am not afraid of living there .
Warden : Ok then . Lets do it . Btw , whats your percentage ?
Me : its 79.2% aggregate right now . (thinking , what percentage got to do with that)
Warden : Excellent buddy . (Shaking hands)
Me : Sir , why did you ask me that ? Does the spirit give a consideration to the studious ones ?
Many student approached me with “Are you mad ? ” …….”You must be joking right” …… ” Do you even know the history of that room ?” …….”Just get the pooja done before entering the room and it will be ok ” ……. “Don’t worry , these are all rumours” ……. “Once again you got a double seater and now your room partner is a spirit.” …….. ” I will nominate your name for the bravery awards this time . ” …….
One of the guys asked me ” Why so serioussss ??? ” …. I felt like shouting at him and asking ” Won’t you be so serious if after toiling for 12 hours or so , you get a room which everyone had deserted and the guys ( even the warden ) is acting as if I have made the last mistake of my life ” …. but I was too tired to reply . I made my way back to the hostel . The scorching heat of the sun was ineffective . The campus which was full of students appeared empty . All those things which were troubling me (internal viva , project submission , the LAN bug in my laptop ) were out of my mind . My clothes were soaked with sweat . My body was tired , both physically and mentally . My eyelids were shutting down due to the lack of sleep .There was one and only one thing I was thinking about .
“Me and My Haunted Room”
Hey dude, If you are still alive (lol), I write this comment to tell you, man you write good. You should consider being an author you know. The way you write captures a person’s attention. Now about that Haunted Room, if you are still alive, tell me about it tomorrow.

[Reply]
lol …. I have started making plans to strike a frndship with “bhootnath”
….
[Reply]
Considering that you are up late hours, I am sure that the bhoot will help you hack accounts too! They have mysterious ways to do that – But then, maybe you will scare him off!
I am always told that ghosts run away when they see me! LOL!
I bet if I saw one, I would edit it like the kid edited his bhoot in Bhootnath! So would you – probably – and also drive him mad by asking him questions about the Grim Reaper!
You know – I am feeling very charitable towards the poor soul – he is probably running around now, looking for a new place to haunt!
[Reply]
Bhoot: Yaar – I wish someone had Haunted me too!
Harsh: Mein houn na!
[Reply]
lol …. you look to have a great insight into a ghost’s pshychology ….
I wonder if you are a ghost too
… a ghost who blogs 
And it would be so exciting to meet a ghost who has a hacker in him
[Reply]
lol
[Reply]
THE MIRROR – CHEEEECKKK THEEEE MIRRRORRR – ooooooohhhhhhhh…….
[Reply]
And please check the spelling of “pshychology” – Now thats seriously SCARY!!!
[Reply]
You are probably the one who would give nightmares to an editor! Poor soul – Lets hope your room mate ghost wasnt an editor in their lifetime!
