Time to get over my fear of ghosts!

Yesterday, I decided that this was it...I was going to do it! I was going to take the plunge....Before you guys get any ideas....I am referring horror and its many forms depicted in movies.

Well, let me brief you about life before yesterday....
I moved into sharavati and started having recurring dreams about a man asking for my help....I was never able to move from my bed when these dreams happened and i woke up in between....scary huh..it was almost as if i was glued to my bed.....

Then i slowly mutated into this paranoid being, constantly on the look out for a ghost outside my room door....stuck to my cieling and to all my close friends at IITM, my stories were a source of entertainment...I did not expect them to understand anyway.....(at some level I knew it was stupid, but then i just could not help it)...I felt that if i denied the existance of a ghost or a spirit, the spirit would be cross and come and haunt me......I used to sleep in Sheetal's room (remember Sheetal? if you don't know her go check out my earlier blogs)....She was nice enough to accomodate me and my paranoia....:)

Yesterday as i lay around thinking....I realised, I was going to have to live in a house probably all alone once i moved to mumbai for work...What would i do then....??Of-course I have been sleeping all alone for the past couple of months....but then I need to have the Joey Show running in my ears or else Abhijit talking to me over the phone till I sleep...(I don't let him sleep till i sleep)...But how long could i pull on like this????

And then DONG! the bell of realisation struck and I took a steely resolve to watch all the horror movies possible to immunise myself against the GHOST SYNDROME! Started with 'THE RING' yesterday....Not too bad...at least not as bad as portrayed by the guys (Probably they just glorified the whole thing to freak me out)...but in the wee hours of the morning, I had some trouble with erasing thoughts running through my head...still with sheetab's help and some amount of grit and resolve (actually, more of Sheetab's help :)), I managed to sleep through the whole thing....And boy am I proud of myself or what!!! I shall watch more such movies in the future as I think I have a thing pr two to prove to everyone...and to MYSELF! One thing has changed for good...I now perceive my Laptop as a friend that plays JOEY to help me go to sleep , instead of a portal for more ghosts to enter into my room......HA HA!

until next time.....
