A 'Vaaheeyaat' Incident

I looked into my watch, it said 'dark'. (Yes my watch speaks!!)
I looked around.. anyone could say it was 8:34 PM...
We; Handa, Patti, Odie and Me were roaming around in the ptich-blackness of the dear park in front of IIT. Roaming around, we realised we reached really deeeeeeep into the park with no one around except us and a pathway. Surrounded by black trees & plants and noisy insects, we moved on slowly, but our imaginated raced.

"Have you ever seen a ghost ??" was the call...
"Na!! Not me.. How about you ??"
"Na!!" nodding

I guess we were being impractical and 'vaheeyaat'... You dont see ghosts for free.
Do you ??

None of us had ever seen a ghost. None of us had ever even been so deep into a forest-type park at 8:35 PM(ek min ho gaya na bhai).
We were excited.
"How about seeing a ghost today ??" said Patti.
"Oh no.. Im sorry.. Im already seeing someone" said handa...
We laughed.

But we all wanted to spot a ghost in the gloomy night.
Used every bit of our imagination to point at things, stationary and dead, saying
"I think that must be a ghost!!!" and then others gave formal observational proofs for their contradictory opinion.

Everyone in their adventurous mood wanted a ghost-tryst now.
Trying to flaunt his english, Odie said "How about a ghost-tryst today??"
(See I told you na!) (Btw Tryst takes place in feb, techfest @ iitd)

"Does any one know a ghost story here ??", said odie trying to scare the others.
Amazingly, we were not scared at all... maybe because no one knew any.

Walking, thinking, observing...
Suddenly handa blurted
"Forget ghost... What if we meet some robbers or a theives or 'daakus' for that matter!! ??"

Looking at each other, we all concurringly U-turned without saying a word and started walking towards the gate, outside of the dense woods, to the city life.
Suddenly, a bush moved...
And No! It was certainly not George W. Bush, we were not in IIT,Washington.

"Oh shit! Run run!!!"

We all started running fast.. real fast, without looking behind...
As we ran, a fat uncle was jogging on the pathway. The 4 of us covered the whole width and uncle had to retract off the path to let us pass. He He Ha Ha. Uncle was even scared!!

As we reached the park gate, we realised that it wasn't something very great.
As I said 'Vaheeyaat' and impractical. I now realized why none of us had got a good grade in the Chemistry Practical course. Everyone was trying to flaunt that they'r fearless superheroes but the thought of some meagre 2nd-grade robbers made them zip out!

Once when I was in class 3rd, my friend stole my rubber.
I told the teacher.
He was titled 'The 3rd-grade Rubber Robber"

This post has a really significant meaning for some creatures that might seem to exist.
