writting after almost one month...was pretty busy these days..and busy not with works or projects, but with weddings..no, i ddnt got married!!am still single and still searching for a boyfriend , rather than a husband..:P..but some of my really close people did get married...one of them was my mama(my mom's cousin)..he lives in a village called gobordanga which is a 3 hrs drive from kolkata...and this was the first time i witnessed a wedding in a village...but i must say, it was so much fun! with all my cousins( i met some of them after nearly 6 yrs..) and new frnds, i made during the wedding, there was never a dull momnt...
theres one instance i particularly remember....it was the wedding night and some of us were returning home ....it was late at night and some how our car got separated from the other cars...our driver, who was a local chap, wanted to take us home through a shortcut...so he just took a turn from the main road, and started driving through the fields...it was an uneventful ride for some time, all of us were feelng sleepy and kinda dozing off inside the car, then all of a sudden the engine of the car stopped! at first we cudnt understand anything...but then i realised that we were in the middle of somewhere and there was thick fog surrounding us...all around us was a white blanket...nothng was visible but the 5 of us inside the vehicle...and if the headlight was switched off,evn the white blnket disappeared..it seemed as if we r engulfed in a blck hole..time has stopped...and we are on our way to enter a new world...there was complete silence all around....it was damn scary..never in my life i have been in such a situation...even our driver was scared....but somehow he started drivng, very slowly...after some time(it seemed eternity for me) we a saw a light...and with the light as a our guide we started drivng towards it....when we reached there, we saw it was a lamp post and we cud see a some houses nearby....the fog was disappearng slowly, and it was becuming clear..we heaved a sigh of relief and to make us feel a lil realxed our driver started naratting an anecdote..he stared telling us a local story...he said that there is a big tree nearby and its a popular belief that the tree is haunted by a number of ghosts..we started laughing and making fun of the people who believes this... but just as we thought the worst is over our car jerked and feel into a big pit, which was just in frnt of the haunted tree!! this time we wasted no time and started shouting as loud as we can....it was a complete chaos! i thnk we sacred the ghosts away!!:P
nway the car was pulled out somehow and finally after a half an hour drive we reached home...it was one of those very few moments of my life when am actually glad..:)
