Khushboo Khanna - Part 2

Sipping on piping hot coffee while I sat there waiting for my friends, I aimlessly eavesdropped on the conversations that filled the chilly winter air. I found it quite interesting to notice how a place like Costa Coffee could turn into my observatory. Lost in transition of thoughts I snapped back to reality when a nearby conversation hooked my attention. A group of teens were discussing something very enthusiastically. It was a video that had become a rage on YouTube. I was trying to catch the name when I finally heard what they were discussing. Simran Possessed. The name sounded uncannily familiar and forced me to strain my memory. I gauged that I had seen this footage too. It surprised me how something I took so lightly and forgot caught fuel and spread like wild fire now.

These young adults seemed inquisitive about the video and what was happening in it. As time passed, my friends joined me for company. I engaged them in the very same discussion. Now I was intrigued too. There was something about this video that kept us coming back to it time and again. As if some supernatural power wanted us to think about it. Whatever it was had left an imprint on our nascent minds. Everybody around me could associate with it. People spoke of their life stories and how they could relate to the video. What happened to the girl in the video? Was she possessed? Did someone chain her soul? Didn’t she have any power to control?

This got me back to where I had left the last time. I wasn’t expecting this paranormal footage to garner so much attention that it crosses 1.2 million views on YouTube. Who knows why this was even shared but someone seems to have a story to tell. This is probably where her book beings. The rest? The rest, is still unwritten…
