I reached Rishikesh on 16th morning around 5am. I had some rest in the afternoon. I could not sleep in the train as I had no alarm clock and my mobile’s battery had died. So I got up late in the afternoon. Met a few people for the very first time and came to know that the engagement which I was supposed to attend on the 16th was postponed to 19th. It was pleasant surprise when Rajneesh called me up and wished to meet me along with the great journalist Raju Gusain. And as told to me by Rajneesh they kept their promise and came to Rishikesh and we had a very productive chat. We should follow up on a few things with Rajneesh and Raju bhaiji.

In the evening it was a pre pre pre wedding night party. After the dinner and nirdosh pani the guys and dulha (to be) decided to take the car to jungle.

I had heard that the jungle was dominated by various animals including wild elephants. It was pitch dark at midnight and we could not even see a light. The parked the car and put the music on and started dancing.

We were scared as well , what if elephants are also enjoying the music and join in! Well we were lucky enough to survive it and then went to another place in the jungle. They started dancing but one of them started talking about a ghost at that place. A girl had commited suicide at that place and had taken a lift from an autowallah to her house. She went inside the house. The autowallah kept waiting after an hour or so he went inside her house to get the money. To his great surprise he was told that the girl he had dropped was dead a few months back. To hear this story at midnight and at the same place where it happened was a bit creepy. We packed up and went home towards 14 bigha.
