Ghost belief
Once I and my friend were cornered for being ragged by some second year students of Engg while I had just taken admission in Engg at Bidar. A student asked me do you believe in ghosts? I wondered why he had asked me this question and suddenly I noticed that there was a grave yard just behind the place where we were being ragged. I could fairly make out what would be his further course of action based on my answer. If I say no then he will definitely ask me to go to the graveyard and make me do some stupid act on some of the grave and if I say yes he would insult me and call me a timid person. So I replied him
“Sir I do not believe in ghosts but at the same time I do not take any pangaa(Challenge) with them either”
Hearing this he laughed and asked me to narrate a joke instead which I did and and came out of their trap.
