Only in Pune

If you know some one staying in Pune (India) let them know this. If you
are in Pune, do go through this story COZ, its a real one. Read this
true story…and let everybody you know in and around Pune especially
University Road……….


My friend lives in Deccan… One day he went to University Road to visit his uncle for some days as his parents had to attend a wedding in Alibagh. One evening he and some other of my college friends went to Adlabs for a
movie. He had so much fun that he forgot that it’s very late.

He caught the last PMT to University Road….. he reached University road around midnight. He had to walk about a mile from the bus stop to home. It was pretty late and not a single soul was visible for miles.As he was walking alone, he could sense that the night felt very creepy as it was so dark. While walking, he was astonished to see an old weird-looking guy selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to see a thing like that (man selling books so late ).

The situation got worse when he noticed that this old guy was unusually pale and staring at him… The old guy said “Son why don’t you buy a book…it would keep you company”.

Then my friend did something which he would regret for the rest of his life. My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at his collections. My friend’s hair started to stand on end as he noticed that all the books were related to supernatural activities…but he found one that was very interesting.

So he asked the old man “how much is it, uncle?” The old guy replied, “Well son…this is an interesting book…it’s only for Rs 250.

My friend was shocked and said “but…but… it’s expensive”.

This time the old man stared which freaked my friend. My friend did not want to cross this scary old man, so he quickly checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said “This is all I have.” The old guy replied “It’s OK son… you can have the book for that price”.

As my friend was just about to run for home…the old man called back and said “Son … whatever happens, don’t ever flip the book to it’s last page… remember these words or you will regret…!!!!!”

My friend nodded and never looked back. Reaching home, he quickly asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller nearby?. The Uncle replied ” I haven’t seen him but ….we’ve heard that therez one old man who comes once in a while during full moon nights but heard that there is something creepy about it…why son?”

My friend freaked out. He told his uncle “nothing uncle… just asking”. He started reading the book with the old man’s parting words on his mind…At night, 2 o’clock, as he went to bed, a gush of wind blew which chilled him up to his bones. At that point, he noticed the wind had blown the pages to its last page. He remembered what the old man had said !!!

But we humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he flipped to the last page & fainted… What he saw at the last page is stated below:

Don’t look further down if you have a weak heart

I warn you

Matrimony Personified

Over a period of time ,i have come across a number of mails which showcase (rather esoterically ) the profound emotion (desperation) of people to put across their "down-to-earth" and "i-don't-expect-much" attitude while applying for a profile description for matrimony.However their supreme command over the language not just conveys the "correct" message but also tickles even the hardest punter !!. I really felt like picking up few , which stand out ;)
