Introducing "laash", real name , himanshu ..friends call him "laash" , dont know when and how this nickname was coined, but i know who coined this name - me .:) ..anyways , laash is a very religious and god fearig boy , does his prayers everyday , goes to the temple everyday , gets up early in the morning and prays for 5 minutes and then sleeps again ..so, among all the members of our gang , he is the most religious ..and his faith in god would exceptionally show when he would narrate horror stories , and how no "ghost" can even think about coming near him coz he is so religious ..we thought he was very brave until this fateful day ..RD , laash and me were goin to stay at "Uncle's" place..Uncle was RD's family friend and he had a huge house , 2 storeys high , and he always used to call me "Mahesh" , even after me correcting him N number of times ..now this 2 storey house had only 4 occupants , barring us ..these 4 occupants , Uncles family actually, lived on d ground floor ..so the 3 of us , occupied the 1st floor ...living in a cramped PG , this place seemed like a palace ..we took aa walk , played some cricket and soon it was dark and it was time to go to bed....one room had 2 beds , which RD and i occupied ...the other room , which was at a distance from where we were , jhad one more bed, which was given to laash ..now rite from that moment , laash's attitude changed ..he did not want to sleep alone ..we got annoyed , and told him to stop behaving like a kid and go to bed..like an obedient kid , laash went into d room..we all retired ..it wasnt even 5 minutes , when laash came into our room hurriedly , sayin he was scared and he wa hearing sum noises in the room ..we went to investigate and it turned out that whenever a truck would pass by , the sound used to echo ..i told him to count the beads of his rosary and go to bed ..irritated and sleepy , RD and i got back to our room ..5 minutes later , laash was there again , telling us he was scared ..initially i thought he was jus bugging us , but on closer inspection of lassh's expression , i found out that he was truly scared ..so , again we went into his room , spent 10 minutes , homing our ears to every little sound we would hear..nothing ..when sumone disturbs my sleep , i go into the angry mode ..i told him not to dare wake me up again , n he understood i meant business..we all came back to our rooms ..around 2 o clock at nite , i could hear a faint creaking sound , i opened my eyes , and my vision was adjusting to the darkness when i saw a bulky figure sitting on the revolving chair, going round and round ..RD also woke up from the sound..RD looked at me and he was sweating ..he looked at the balcony door so he could keep an escape route ready , in case the figure on the chair attacked him ..we both were staring at the figure ..and then in a deep , bull of a voice , we heard "RDEEEEE , neend nahi aa rhe yaaar" ..we switched on the lite, and seeig laash so scared , we pitied him and let him sleep in our room ...on the chair ..:) ..
