Aditya Kulkarni

My version:
I was walking around the inside of Vashi station with friends. We bought tickets and headed towards the track. I wasn't hungry so I had a 'fountain coke' while the others ate. I was addicted to chewing gum and used to ruminate like a cow all day long. I put a mentos in my mouth and began churning.

All of a sudden, I couldn't draw breath and started choking. My brain started to have this burning sensation which I couldn't get rid of. I spat out the mentos. It's funny what dying can do to you, even thinking about it changes your perception towards life and all the wonderful things that come with it. I thought I was gonna die, but didn't want to end my life as a goldfish gasping for breath. So I started hitting myself in the back to dislodge whatever it was that was blocking my air pipe. I could see a bunch of people surrounding me, but no one came forward to help.

A fellow was running at full speed to catch some train. As he was the nearest, I decided to ask for help. I caught him with my hand to stop him running. Turns out, he was pretty determined to board the incoming train, so he somehow got out of my grasp and went away. I was scared as a chicken, but still kept hitting myself. Finally, I  managed to dislodge the thing in my wind pipe because I could breath again!

Their version(s):
We were walking towards the exit on the railway station when suddenly, Adi started making weird, retching sounds.

"Screwing around, as always…"

Then he started hitting himself and doing this scary dance which scared the shit outta me.

"A ghost has possessed Adi!! Shit maaan, first time in my life…first time…"

I was numb, scared and confused and didn't know the spell to cast away evil spirits.

"First thing that am gonna do after this is go to a tantrik and learn that friggin' spell! okok, concentrate…"

What happened next was beyond my imagination. Adi held some poor guy by his neck and began squeezing it hard. "Jai hanuman gyangun sagar, jai kapish…"

We tried pulling him away but the ghost was strong and wouldn't let go. We finally managed to pry them apart. The fellow was scared as hell and he made a dash for it, as far and as fast as his shaky little legs would allow.

"Holy cow, he's hitting himself again! Do I call the Ambulance? Mental Hospital?? Tantrik? Nooono, the first thing would be to catch him before he reaches for anyone else's neck…yeah I know how it's done, they do it on animal planet all the time…"

We surrounded him from all sides, grabbed his head so he wouldn't bite, then brought him face down on the floor and pinned him wwf style!! We finally managed to subdue him by sloshing lots of water and swearing loudly at the ghost in between bouts of violent thrashing, until it left.

Moral: Coke and Mentos combo, baaaad idea! But if done right, it can turn out to be deadly, untraceable and a downright awesome weapon against your arch enemies…
