My Love Story

It was in the year 2008 I met her for the first time. I knew I loved her from the moment I saw her. I used to smile at her whenever she was close to me but she always gave me a blunt look, never smiled at all. Well, that doesn't stop me from loving her. I knew she will realize my true love in the course of time. I never gave up!!!

Few months passed and things started changing. Her cute eyes started to talk with me. Being an IT employee its not easy to lead a peaceful life and I am sure most of us agree that as an universal truth. Stressful days at work, tiresome to and fro travel, all swept me like a breeze when she flashed in my eyes. Days went on and my love for her grew more and more. I was in a stage where I couldn't live without her.

My wife who's an IT employee too had a stressful work environment. Whenever she came back home I will become a listener to all her daily updates. Once she's done it was my turn and whatever I talk I'll end up with this girl. My wife was so courteous that she never came between me and this girl!! Everyday, when I start to office, she comes and asks in her cute voice, 'Can you take me for a ride?'. How could I say no to such a sweet angel!

As the days became months and then years, my love to her never changed. In fact it got multiplied and there was not a single day that went without seeing her....

Exactly after 2 years and 5 months since we met for the first time, I was going to miss her for the first time. My wife carried her bag and I walked with her hand in hand. When we reached, she was much hesitant to leave and tears started rolling in her eyes....I was heart broken and dumbstruck. I didn't know how to react. It was for her own good that we had to take this decision but seeing her crying, I was speechless. My wife was consoling her but she wasn't able to control and called me for help.

I stood speechless for few seconds before my wife lost her cool and yelled at me..'enough with your dad, daughter crying scenes...its her first day at the school, you say something and send her inside. Don't stand like a statue!!' I realized I should do something, so I hugged her in my arms and promised a beach visit later that day. That seems to console her a little and she waved her hand and went inside the Montessori. Looking at my emotions my wife wasn't able to control her laughter!!!

Of course a mother's love is the ultimate love but a father's love is a father's love :)

A Creepy Night Travel

It was in the year 2005 that I started my career in the BPO Industry. Before joining BPO I was working as an adminitration assistant on contract with a central government firm. Once I stepped into my office at Egmore, Chennai everything was new. I was pretty much used to the antique goverment offices with files, a desktop system which should have been purchased during 80's!! and much more stationaries. My transition to BPO industry was contrasting and suddenly everything was new, bright and friendly. All of a sudden I felt like I jumped some 10 years into the future!

Let's get back to the creepy incident...It was a few months since I joined this BPO and I worked on rotational shifts which changes every second week. So it was a friday night and little did I knew that it is going to be a fright night for me. My shift on that day was 2.00 PM to 10.30 PM and it was already 10.15. I was almost ready to leave for the day and was waiting for my colleague who will relieve me for his night shift. Suddenly I get a call from my reliever and he updates that he will be late by one hour. I have no other option but to stay as I worked on a livechat process. I have to be online till he appears. As usual he was late by another 15 minutes and I started back to home exactly at 11.50 PM.

It was already late and I thought I could take a different route on my way back to cut short the distance. The en route was through the suburbs of Kodungaiyur and the one street that I had to travel had this famous 'Muneeswaran' temple. Though the name gave me chills I just had a comfort that its still an 'house of God'. Every road was calm and dark until I reached the intersection which would connect me to the main road and from there my home.

I just turned right and entered this road, and in some distance I was able to see a load of white clothes in the center of this road. This road is just 30 feet in width and it streched for another 1 km in distance before connecting to the highway. As I am used to this road during my day time I was aware that there were no houses for another half a km strech. The interval between my bike and the cloth bundle was reducing and in the next few seconds I was able to see some movement in it. It was only few meters that I could pass by it and all of a sudden a woman raised her head from the bundle. Yes, I swear she was a woman in white dress, but I ain't sure if it was a saree. The bundle of clothes that I saw was not actually a bundle but a woman. It just scared the heck out of me, I was totally frozen in shock. My bike was just few feet from the woman!!!! I was so close that I could see her eyes which had cornea but no pupil. She was in the middle of the road, with a sitting posture, untied hair and pupil less eyes...Imagine yourself in this situation!

The only thing that scared me was, how could I pass through this ghost like figure...in seconds I could imagine her jumping on me, or just hurting me with any paranomal power or just posses me!!! I just prayed to God with all my heart...Lord, just help me and I will do whatever you want me to!! Within a couple of seconds I passed the women at high speed and my bike was screaming in sudden pulse. I had a sigh of relief and was scared to look back if she was still there...I will never forget those white eyes staring at me when I passed her. I drove like a mad man till I reached the nearby houses and only then I came into senses. When I shared this scary incident with my parents they went on a debate if it was really a woman or a ghost.

This was once in a lifetime incident for me. I have never experienced any kind of paranormal activity before or after this incident. Everyday I come around 1 am in the night these days but have never come across any such scary stuff.

This incident still give me chills..was she a woman or a ghost? why was she there at 12 midnight in the middle of a deserted road? Why her eyes were white without pupil? I really dont have an answer..
