5. GUNNING FOR TROUBLE
Arms dropping in Purulia
On December 17,1995, a treasure trove fit for a modern army (India Today, January 1996) was dropped by a Latvian plane over Purulia in West Bengal.
It was later said that the arms were meant for the Ananda Marg.
Even though the case has been considered a serious breach of Indian national security, our investigative agencies have not yet found answers to questions such as where the dropped arms disappeared, why the Ananda Marg needed ammunition or how a plane entered Indian airspace, dropped weapons and disappeared, undetected.
6. PHANTOM MENACE
Naale Ba ghost
In 1995, Bangaloreans saw the peace of the nights being shattered by a ghost which used to call out to people in their mother's voice and then **** them. Named Koogumaari, legend has it that it ****ed three brothers in Guttehalli in Kolar. People came up with a solution: writing Naale Ba at their entrances, which means come tomorrow . This was supposed to confuse it into coming again and returning after reading the message. This fever of a literate ghost with amnesia took nearly a year to subside. Perhaps, the exhaustion of returning again and again proved too much for the poor ghost.
7. CEREMONIAL LOVE
Temple for Khushboo
Building temples for film stars is a national occupation in India. So even the southern *** goddess Khushboo came to acquire one in Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu in the mid-1990s. It was demolished when allegations of her affair with the married actor Prabhu surfaced. Once the relationship ended, she became respectable again and the demolished temple was rebuilt. It survived for nearly a decade, till the time Khushboo aired her views on pre-marital ***. The fact is that such a temple has never existed. So much for myths.
