The adventures of the rabid ghosts and the gandhians

All right...so it all began when the faculty block offices got these cool benches that were laid out in the gardens in front of them. I suppose they had some ideas about giving the students 'a platform to share knowledge and expand their horizons' plus it made for good meeting places for the faculty themselves ...in the midst of nature in the form of some neem trees and thorny bushes. So, there was another accessory added to the cool campus environs...looked pretty good actually. But, after a few days, things went horribly wrong. As Prof. Aditi Nath Sarkar tells me, whenever, the faculty arrived at their offices in the mornings, they found the benches scattered all over the grounds. And, thus, was born the legend of the "Neem Ghost". One guard, actually, claims that this ghost was in the form of a dog and had bitten him once. Now, maybe that was an effect of some alcoholic liquid but of course, in a dry state, its all hush-hush(I wonder if he went to a doctor for Rabies vaccine thereafter). So, the nocturnal activities of the ghost continued for some time undaunted by anything...or anyone, for that matter. But, then came Prof. Tridip Suhrud with his motley crew of Gandhi enthusiasts. This was actually the group of students who had opted for the course 'Gandhian Thought'. And, now, Prof. Suhrud hates to teach in closed auditoriums (maybe he feels suffocated 'in those dark dungeons') So, out come the Gandhians and roam around for a place. Then, a sudden spark and they all gather under the Neem tree on all the benches in a circle. Maybe the ghost respected Gandhi too much or he liked the lectures or he hated them...whatever the reasons, ever since that day, there have been no incidents accredited to the apparition in that area. Of course, some students claim that they were administered sleeping pills by the ghost and, thus, forced to miss the pop quiz next morning. These cases are yet to be investigated but until then, one more paranormal case solved!! Hail Gandhigiri!!
