My Story:Tripurti Part6

"Well, I have done some research about this place but could not get absolute information due to the fear of sharing regarding the place by the nearby occupants. Honestly, we are endangering ourselves but I really pray that some power will save us in whatever danger that we are to meet, "Aadhi put a sudden break unexpectedly which jerked me. My head paining when I see a young lady probably at her 20's with well-draped an old and faint saree walking across us with a heavy load on her head accompanied by few goats.
"I suppose this is a common scenario in the village's setting of your country, isn't it?"Aadhi simply nodded his head with a broad smile. The villagers in India are very hardworking, supportive to the family, women are the pillars of the family and they are bound to the social norm. I get to explore and write an article about a village life somewhere in North India a few years ago which I can't remember exactly when I 'm still a newbie to journalism. They stand within their limits and hold their own legislation to curb crimes in their respective village but unique among other villages. I believe even the government has a hard time to retrieve the real numbers of villages in India including the monitoring and developments too.
"Aadhi, do you have faith in God, sorry let me rephrase. Who you trust most, God or Ghost?"I have little clue on how is he going to perceive this question since he mentioned about a power to relieve us from the danger.
       "Hahhaa, I know that you are testing me. To be honest I believe in both. For your kind information, I belong to a priest family and my full name is Aadhitya Iyer Shastri. Rooted strongly in the religious matter ever since I born. Learned Veda and shastras as the requirement of being a brahmin. Then how can I not believe in God? He replied me with some kind of a sinister look, definitely, I will not be able to analyze at this point of time but he continued with a brief pause," my grandfather often tell me that ghosts are the ill power, are also part of Almighty's creation. Hindus believe they are remnants of souls who died without fulfilling their wishes, died in a horrific manner such as killed or murder and someone who commit suicide. The ghosts will roam till they are called to hell or heaven and disturb human, some cunning human uses them to manifest black magic aim to harm others or benefit them in various ways such as to multiply their money, attract someone and many others."Aadhi gives another sudden stop to a shop, looks like a small tea shop. People are sitting along the benches arranged outside the shop, some are glancing through the newspapers, some are enjoying their hot beverages while others exploding the shop with laughter and talks. All the eyes turned over us as we walked towards the shop."Do you want tea or coffee? Aadhi pointed over the tea master whom meticulously making a tea from the milk over the hot pan."I would love to have coffee to keep me awake and can you pick something good to stuff my stomach," I walked in the shop, the benches are also aligned neatly in the shop and the surrounding looks clean too. So I have no issue in grabbing some foods here, it's just I do not wish to upset my tummy and look for toilets in mid of my jobs.
        "So sweet, thank you for your help, "Aadhi was so kind to serve me the coffee and few vadas."Not a problem at all, we are going to spend some weeks together so this is just a small matter, "Aadhi sat on a bench opposite to me and begin to munch the vadas. The vada was really crunchy and tasty , goes extremely well with the slightly bitter taste of the coffee as I always prefer.
"Yeah, true enough!Between are we getting any local people to guide us in Tripurti?"
