I have been wanting to write this for quite some time .. precisely 5 days…. to be even more precise from Monday morning the 13th of October at 10:28 AM. Thank God, it was not 13th the Friday. I stepped out of my office to rush for a meeting at 10:30 on some new enhancement that the business needed and ……… shucks!!!!! WTH, …there was this huge ugly looking monster sitting on the couch opposite my office. Seconds later after my brain, heart, body and infact my soul reacted to this ugly monster with a shock.. I realised ah!! This is Halloween Time.

I slowly walked into the meeting room (a little late obviously), grinned at the folks in there, commented on Halloween and set to start the meeting. So there she went.. what we need is.. enhance business.. quicker response time.. vendor response.. blaw blaw blaw.. All I was thinking was Damn, I shouldnt have got scared. It is so embarassing. It was just a doll. So what if it is big, fat, black, ugly and extremely scary looking.. It was a Monday morning, I mean a really bright sunny day and Ghosts dont come in the morning.. do they? I should learn to be braver.. no no Brave, Maybe I should watch more horror movies.. Maybe I should pray more often.. Ghosts dont come when we have idols of God.. What am I thinking.. There is nothing called Ghosts.. Ghosts dont exist.. they are myths.. ofcourse not, just because you dont see God, you dont think God doesnt exist do you?

Kavitha … Kavitha.. Can your team help in getting this in by Oct end? Oh, yes, yes .. Ofcourse we can! what did she say she wanted? Doesnt matter, I hope someone sends the minutes of this meeting.. And reality sets in!

I must shamelessly admit that I am not the courageous types. I have gone many nights without going to the bathroom, depriving my thirsty throat of water, freezing to death or sweating profusely.. but NO, I will not get out of the bed or out of my covers… Never, I wont give the Ghost an oppurtunity to touch me. I have no clue whatsoever on what is it that makes me think that the Ghost will not come to me when I am in bed, but beliefs are beliefs and we wont go there now.

I believe Ghosts exist and I also want to believe Ghosts are myths. Now I dont know which one is smarter my head or my heart, but looks like neither of them are winning..This argument has been going on for ever now between the both of them but there is an UNDISPUTED winner and that is….. THE GHOSTS!! Whether they exist or they dont they surely seem to have a part in my life

Happy Halloween, May this Halloween help you all get out of your fears …
