I was 10 years old when this happened and it has had a lasting impact on how I've approached or treated people ever since.
My cousins lived in a district called Dayandnagar in Secunderabad(Pretty close to Hyderabad)where I'd usually go for vacations. Being the naughty kids we were, we used to chase after dogs all time. Once, while searching for my cousins, I ended up in the nearby railway station, which is one of the typically smaller stations you'd find in India.
A dog crossed my path and following our tradition, I chased it. I didn't seem to notice running into the train tracks behind and was stopped by the thunderous whistle of the oncoming express train. I was frozen solid due to fear when some uncle yelled at the top of lungs for me to get away and I managed to step onto the other track just in time. Fear then took over and I started running. I couldn't remember where I ran but soon I ended up lost, a 10 year old in an unknown city not even knowing the local language.
Trying hard to fight tears,I wandered around hopelessly, cursing myself for chasing the poor dog. A middle aged gentleman, stopped an asked me in Telugu whether I was lost. I spoke Hindi, English and Tamil but he could only speak Telugu. After half of hour of switching translators, he finally understood where I had to go. He brought me an ice-cream and dropped me back to the railway station in an auto which took us almost 15 minutes by auto.
A random stranger who didn't have anything to gain helping out, touched me and even since,I've always tried to a helping hand wherever possible.
Spread the joy :D
Well well here I have an experience which really made me what I am today.
Once I was alone in my home . It was raining and the night was dark and cold . I have a habit of waking late at night , on that day I really felt something that was horrifying and quite mysterious. I was having a bad luck at that day as on that same day I was watching paranormal activity related videos. So coming on the main story.
I was sitting on my bed and was watching television at 1 am. I was also chatting with my friend . Suddenly I felt a shadow behind me and at the same time the light gone out . I was shaking like a leaf at that moment . I was terrified and told my friend about what all his happening . My friend did'nt understood my condition and started messing with me . I was all alone in the dark at that time , I even thought that today is my last day . Then someone knocked on the door and at that moment my heart dropped as I thought it might be a ghost or smthing .
But still I made a move on and opened the door . There , my mom was there , thank god literally that it was nothing spooky. I hugged my mom and then slept peacefully.
Still today , I feel a little scared at night when I m home alone and I do wonder that what was that shadow that I felt on that day.
It was a memorable momemt and was scary as hell.
Hope it helps♥
