I was toiled away after full day Co-curricular wing activities and the brain washings of President IT-Gymkhana . It was a festive Saturday evening when all the shackles of melancholy mess food got broken and we generally headed towards our Mecca , the famous AV, a road side dhaba famous for chicken dishes . Suddenly I saw Langda as we call him , my unfortunate room partner of first year in a pensive mood . My involvement in college fests as a coordinator brought me very little time for my batch mates . So that very day I decided to go for dinner with Langda . I greeted him in my old familiar style which adorned with some incendiary abuses , in return he replied coldly and to my utmost surprise he came to my room .
I had the slightest idea of his mood . I pinched him again in Joker style , " Dude ! Why so serious ?" In reply there was a total silence . I was bit annoyed but not said anything further . After a while he closed the door and said silently ," Bhai ! I am restless since last night " . I wondered there must be some health problem . He added further ," Dude ! Whatever I will tell you , you may not believe it but it is true and please don't reveal this to any one . Any one means anyone ."
By that time I was about loose my patience but by the God's grace I controlled myself , which is again a ninth wonder for me . I said ,"feel free , you can always discuss the things with me ".
He uttered ,"I got a call last night " . I burst into giggles and congratulate him ,"Man! Finally you have done it . Congrats for your first cat hunt." He remained silent . I added further ," Is there breakup in the first talk itself ?" . At a sudden he burst ," It was a ghastly call . The cell rings at sharp 00:00 . One male voice was on call , he knows my name , my personal detail and even about the fact that I use specs. " He was sweating in the evening of pleasant February . Langda was never a callow youth so I got shocked and began to wonder if he was hallucinating . Langda added ," Caller was using a very sophisticated philosophical language . Caller asked me if I want to know true Indian culture and philosophy I need to go to Hotel Taz Ganges to meet him . " I said , " Then how come your perception about the call being ghastly and grisly ?" Langda took a long breath , smiled a bit and quoted " No , I am not interested , with these words I ended the Call . Then I went to Buddha . " Buddha was his 3rd next neighbor . Buddha or Budhau as we call him because of his sensibility .
Langda told me that it took around 15 minutes to wake him up and now come the gist .
Langda told ," After a mind wobbling discussion we decided to call him back . So we dialed the last received call number . On the other side instead of any ring there was a interfering noises followed by a screaming and the call get disconnected . Then a message flashes on my Nokia 1100 set ." The message was truly horrifying which displays over his black and white screen after every attempted call since then.
