The Dreaded- Episode 3

Inviting trouble!

He  was confused,puzzled or anything we could say. He started crying 'Why is this happening to me?' . Quinn was pissed off after sitting in the lawn for a while. He was now bold enough to go inside the house. 'OK, enough is enough. I am checking this out' 'Come on' He raced through the house door and went straight into the kitchen. There was nothing. No blood traces at all. He had confirmed now that something is terribly terribly wrong.  He was too tired of all this. He had to go to work the next morning. He grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat on the sofa watching baseball. He slept in sometime.

Quinn woke up nervously as heard someone banging the door. 'Anybody there?' 'Open the door!' 'Hello!' He opened the door and saw a lot of people before his house .He turned left o recognize that there a was homicide  scene right in Quinn's lawn. 'Oh my god!' 'What happened?' 'Is someone dead?'. The police officer of the Miami police department briefed Quinn about the  homicide. ' Hello,May I know your name please?' 'Quinn' 'Alright. Did you see or hear anything related to this murder?' 'No,sir!.But I am getting late for work'. The police officer asked Quinn to call him back if he knew or if he remembers something about the murder.

Quinn saw the dead body from a distance and was terrified. The body was of a teen girl whose head had been cut off completely. The head was placed  near the body. The girl was wearing a green nightwear. Quinn also saw the blood traces near the body and it reminded him of the blood traces that were there in his house. He went inside his house and locked the door. He got ready and  left to office.

'Hi, there. How have you been?' asked Natasha. Natasha was Quinn's work buddy who looked very beautiful and fun loving.  'I'm fine.' 'No, it doesn't look like you are fine!' 'Whatever it is?, have you completed your Quality analysis report?' asked Quinn. 'Yes,Quinn. I finished it and I've already sent you an E-mail.' 'Alright' said Quinn.

Quinn started from his office at 7 pm that evening. I t was a hard day at work for Quinn. He came back and called Joe on his cell phone. 'Hey man! whats up?' 'Lets meet at the Irish pub tonight man' 'No,joe. I am not well. May be I should get some sleep'. 'OK,bud, what's the matter?' ' Can I sleep at your place tonight?'. Joe was confused. 'Come over,man.' said Joe. Quinn became annoyed and was frightened about his house. He thought he must move to another house. Quinn decided to sleep at Joe's place till then.

Quinn drove to Joe's house and they discussed about the murder at his lawn, the blood traces, the indian swami. 'Dude, I don't believe this'. 'May be I can stay at your house' winked Joe. 'This is not a joke man' said Quinn who was looking irritated.

'No man. I think i'll try it. I'll sleep at your house tonight. Lets see who's coming for me?'  said Joe casually.  Joe was a real idiot. He never cared about things. He did a job for a living and was always seeking for women in life.

'Alright,bud. Let's go.' 'Let's check it out then'. 

They headed to Quinn's house for the night to stay. They bought some beer on their way home.

Episode 2: Am i Jinxed?

Saturday- 6 am. Quinn's alarm rings. He woke up and got refreshed. He met Steve at the Earhart Park. 'Hello,Quinn, How are you doing?' 'I am just fine'. They drove together to meet Priest Deva, who was once a great priest in India. He was once a very famous idol in Asia. Steve asked Quinn 'Do you or have you ever believed in dead souls,son?' 'No,sir,never in my life'. 'Alright,now lets see this man, he is very powerful. He has come to America to visit one of his follower's family. He's returning in a couple of days to India.

'Namaste!' greeted the priest. 'How are you Steve?' 'Hope everyone is fine at home'. 'Yes,Swami, everything is fine. I've come here for one of  my friends' son. 'What's the matter?' asked Swami. 
Steve explained Quinn's situation. 

There was silence. Swami closed his eyes for a minute and opened his eyes. He asked Quinn' What's your name again?' 'Quinn' replied Quinn. Quinn was confused. Swami was starring at Quinn. He said 'I think we are in big trouble, young man'. 'If you want the terrible things that's happening to you, to be cured, then come to India with me'. I will take care of you'. 'No  way!',  Swami. 'Lets come to reality, Swami'. 'I have a job,friends. I just can't come'.

Quinn left  that place with disappointment.

Saturday 10 am- 'I am really worried about the boy',said Swami. 'Why's that?' is something wrong,Swami?'. 'Yes,terribly wrong'. 'He is cursed, grudged !' 'Oh Lord!' 'Please help him, Swami'.
Swami again closed his eyes and Steve was starring at him in fear. ' Quinn will come to me in a couple of days'. How is that,swami?' asked Steve. 'I can see things, Steve'. I will speak to you regarding this another day. I have some meditation to do'.

Thank you Swami for your help. 'See you soon' smiled Swami.

Meanwhile a couple of days passed, by then nothing bad had happened to Quinn. Quinn switched off the television and took a cigarette from his pocket and lighted it. There power was gone.' "Shit!" whats wrong!' shouted Quinn in anger. 'It's damn annoying!'  He sat on the sofa and was pressing the lighter's button. on-off on-off on -off, he suddenly saw a shadow on the wall near TV. He panicked 'What the?' Who's that?' There was a weird noise that came from the kitchen. The noise was a mixed voice of a male and a female voice. It was very scary'. He ran to the door and opened it and went to the lawn.
He sat there smoking. He realised that there power for other houses in the neighbourhood and only his house was put off without power. Suddenly the power was up. He went in to the kitchen and again found some blood traces in the kitchen wall. He was damned! He was horrified. There was sweat all over his face.

The Dreaded - he who can't sleep because of the curse from the dark.

Episode1: The beginning

Miami, 8 am. Last night was so terrible and disturbing  for Quinn. He was heading to work. Blurry vision, headache, nausea is what he's got right now. He had slept only for an hour last night. He stopped at the coffee shop to grab a cup of coffee. He took his seat back in the car and said "damn.. this isn't good". The coffee he  just bought slipped off from the passenger's seat next to him and it was a complete mess. He started off  and reached office. 
Hello Quinn," Whats'up?". It was Natasha, a senior employee  from his office. Quinn nodded saying " fine!" with a somnolent face. He walked in with his briefcase which contains all the Quality documents that he needed to sign the previous day. Quinn sat there thinking about last night. Why wasn't I not sleeping? This has been happening for a few days now. May be I should consult a doctor?. He let it go.
He started signing the documents.

There was a flashing light when he opened his eyes. "Where am I ?" he asked. You are the Green tree hospital. You passed out at work. Ambulance took you here. "Oh. what the ?" , I'm just fine argued Quinn. " You'rent!   You're friend, joe is on the way to see you" replied the doctor.

He was fine then. He had been in the hospital for 2 days. " I want to talk to you,doc. I have a problem. Quinn decided it is time to open up the issue to the doctor.
The doctor advised him to go to the most efficient and popular psychologist- Mr. John McKenzie . Mr. McKenzie was a tall man with a numb look on his face, like the Droopy dog!
After a week , he went to McKenzie to seek medical attention. "Hello, Doctor". Dr.Lynch told me about you. "Yes, good to see you. How have you been"? asked the doctor. "Yes, that's why I am here doctor" replied Quinn.
OK, what's your problem?  go on. 
It has been a terrible month for me doctor. I am unable to sleep and concentrate. I don't know whats the problem" said Quinn. Lets start with hypnosis. The doctor asked Quinn to Sit on the on that chair and just follow his instructions. He started hypnotizing him. You are at your home sleeping. What exactly did you see, then? There was a long silence.Quinn screamed "No.. don't do this to me. Who are you? Why are you targeting me every night. I am innocent. Leave me alone. "Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Stop it! Stop it! said Quin's girlfriend. This is ridiculous. looks too dangerous -'. 'Well it's over.Don't you  worry', stopped the doc. I've been dealing with things like this for the last 20 years. I know this. He might have a multiple personality disorder or hallucinations. 
After the session, the doctor took him to another room for further tests.
Everything looks fine to me. It doesn't look like a problem to me. May be he's been having nightmares lately. 

That evening after the consultation, Quinn went to the Jonas Bar and had some beer. I guess I am fine now. looks like I 'll sleep like a baby tonight. Hey hey ! he thought to himself.  He went home and switched on the television and suddenly he heard a sound from the kitchen. The sound he heard was a broken glass's sound. When he stood up from the sofa, the power went off. He shouted "Who is it?", come on,tell me. He took the cell phone from his pocket and switched on the LED flash light and went to the kitchen. No one was there. A glass bottle containing Pasta broke and he came back. He said to himself 'How could this happen?'. I guess there is something else in this house. It's jut not today. Weird things has been happening from the day I moved to this house.
Next morning he was preparing coffee and he noted some blood traces in his kitchen wall near the kitchen sink. He touched the blood trace, it was fresh and said 'I didn't get hurt!' 'How could this happen?' 
He called his friend Joe and told him about it . Joe was in his late twenties, who is cool in his own way. Joe arrived to Quinn's house and saw the blood traces. 'Take your day off', lets have fun today' said Joe. 'Okie,lets do it!' agreed Quinn. Quinn informed  the  day's leave and went to the Miami beach.
Joe,sipping a beer was looking serious and he looked at Quinn. Quinn asked "Why are you starring at me?' 'It is so embarrassing man'. 'I feel little weird dude' said Joe.'I know a ghost hunter, who chases evil spirits' 'Could it be-'Shut up man!' stopped Quinn.

After sometime they went to a bar for another drink and Quinn asked Joe 'Why do you think it would be a ghost or some evil spirit,man?' 'I don't know, it just crossed my mind' 'No bother!'
'OK,Lets do it.' started Quinn. 'Are you kidding me?, you need to be serious Quinn'. 'I am serious man, replied Quinn.
OK,Lets go and meet him. Stephen was a tall man, weighing a hectic 100 kg with a mark with a manly look , dressed in a black suit and trousers. 'Hello Steve' 'Hello Joe, how are you?' It's been a long time since we've met. This is the first time we are meeting after your father's death. 'Yes, you are right, Steve'. 'What's your problem son?'

Quinn started from day he couldn't sleep properly till he found blood traces. 'I can feel that that are some weird and terrible things happening with me. I am not able to sleep in the night and when I am able to, I get nightmares' explained Quinn.
'What kind of nightmares?' 'hmm.like I am sleeping with devils and they are dragging me somewhere in the dark'.
' I 've heard of these signs before with a pale face. He started trembling and his voice choked. 'Son, did you lately go to any of burial grounds and find anything unusual?' 'No,replied Quinn with a strange face'. 'Son, try to remember nay unusual thing that you did lately. Did you give anyone a strand of your hair or something like that'. 'No, sir,not at all'

'Are you free this weekend son?' 'Yes,Sir'. 'Come here at 8 in the morning. I will take you to a place'.-

Masinagudi Trip

Hi all,
I am back with a new trip to Masinagudi last month. I was with my college mates and was an amazing trip. Masinagudi is an amazing place to visit. Masinagudi is around 30kms from Ooty, Tamilnadu, India. It is around 21kms from the famous Bandipur national park,Karnataka and Mudhumalai wild sanctuary, Tamilnadu. I took a trip from Bangalore in bike which took me almost 5:30 hrs to reach Masinagudi. It was very beautiful and pleasant there. I with my friend Venkat started @ 6 am from Bangalore. We first stopped in Bidadi for tea, then in channapatna, a place very famous for the making of toys. Then stopped at Maddur for relaxation. We had an awesome breakfast at a small roadside shop. We spent some time in Photography as well.Then stopped in Mandya, Shrirangapatna, Mysore. To say all these places were spectacular. From Mysore,, we took the state highway 212 and reached Gundulpet. We stopped there for lunch. We had our lunch which was very quick and we wanted to leave as soon as possible from there as the clouds were dark. We went to Theppakadu from there. Theppakadu is a very famous place for elephants, as there is an elephant camp for domestic elephants. Theppakadu is around 9 kms from Masinagudi. I think everyone must go there and visit one of the heavens present on Earth.

Fattest to the slimmest

Hello everyone,

It has been a while since I've written any posts. I am here to share some interesting stuff . Nikhil was in his second year of graduation, in a college in Hyderabad. He was not one of the active students in his class. Nikhil studied well though. Nikhil lived in Hyderabad, Andhrapradesh. He was studying his electrical engineering. Then arrived a girl named Shreya in his department in the first year. She was his junior.


It was on a day in the month of June. Every senior student began to check out new girls in the college. So Nikhil accomponied his friends. He, in particular didnot have any interest in taking a look at the new girls. It was then when Nikhil saw Shereya for the first time. He was flattered. Any word which could describe her beauty can be mentioned here. But I don't want to waste time on that. She was beautiful enough for him. He immediately fell in love with her. It might have took him a fraction of seconds to fall in love with her.

 After a few days she realized that Nikhil follows her where she goes , both inside and outside the college except her house of course. She was not bothered about him, but she knew that someone is behind her all the time.

One fine day, this guy (Nihkil) decided to say his love to Shreya. Shreya had a lot of friends in her college . She was never alone. He had tried to propose to her everytime , he saw her. He was not able to do it. one fine day he proposed to her "I love you". Then she started laughing , and  she said "Look at you!", look at yourself . You are damn fat, and look like a clown. She left after that. Nikhil was agitated for the next few days. He mwt with one of his old friends who told him about weightloss. Ridiculous weight loss. He weighed a dirty 207lbs (94kgs) and this is where he started his journey. He ran 1km, he ran 3km,5km,6km,8km,10,12,13,15km then this was his life.running was addicted. In a span of 6 months he lost around 55pounds(25kgs). He went to her, now she was stunned after he went to her with his new appearance. Now what, said Nikhil. I'ts really amazing how a little amount of inspiration makes you a new person.

Problems %$&^$%^&%^ everywhere!!!!

Hey people,

Incident #1-It has been a while since I've prodded y'all with some incidents. Let me start off with one. The special thing is, it just happened yesterday. 5:30 pm I was walking on the sidewalk of a main road. It was a peak hour in Bangalore, India. Pollution was at its best! Everyone was busy. I was listening to "Everything's not lost" by coldplay and was walking on the pavement. A speedy car passed by and splashed water on me. I was more concerned about my clothes than myself.( being a bachelor). I shouted at the peak of my voice, that he could hear me and stop the car. Oh yes! he stopped the car. I went near the car. He got down from the four wheeled vehicle and came rushing towards me. I asked him,why the hell, did you do this to me. The answer that gave me was astonishing! He said " I do this everyday, people never shout at me, its just the way how it goes". I was like "What the hell    are you talking?", he went away. I came off. I just thought about the answer that he gave me. When people don't bother or fight against any mistake, nothing gets solved. Its as simple as that.

Incident #2- A man inside a car, was scolding a beggar because the beggar was annoying asking the man to give him some money. I could see all this because I walk from my office to home. The beggar didn't get money from the rich man, he came off to the next car, there was no response again. He went to the platform of the main road and opened his bag which contained a lot of money. ( I meaning it) He took some change from his bag and went to the tea shop. You may think, what is the problem here. The problem is : I asked myself , why does he need to beg when he has a lot of money. Moreover, the beggar was healthy and was not handicapped or impaired.He is confident enough that people will give him money everyday , so that he doesn't have to work. He is actually lazy. Always think before giving money to beggars.

The distance from my office to home is just 2.5 Kms. Within 2kms, I found 2 incidents which were socially unacceptable from my point of view. Imagine how many problems we would face if we were to to walk a longer distance. This is just opinion on some of the people, who just spoil their city,state,country. Think about it.
