Have you ever experienced a life-threatening moment? A spooky encounter? A car crash? Or maybe just all of them? Well, I did. I experienced all of the above and much more during my teenage years. And I didn’t plan any of them, they just happened. Strangely, these weird occurrences always happened when I met my cousin Aatish. Passing it off as a mere coincidence initially, I couldn’t help but believe there was something wrong and that a fuse went off every time we met. I soon realised that we were pretty much a ‘Jinxed company’.
I am 40 now, and when I looked back at the great, adventurous, amazing life I’ve led, there were these occurrences that I couldn’t get out of my head. I remember writing them down at some point and tried forgetting about them as if they were a nightmare. And almost a decade later, I got my hands on those notes.
What you will read is spectacular, surreal, spooky, unbelievable adventure. I lived it; I didn’t plan it and don’t regret it. I just thought I should write about it. Have a freak read!
