Ch5:Out Of The Body Experience Transition 

Vastav rubbed his eyes and looked into the mirror.

Signs indicated he should go to bed. He recalled Goddess Saraswati and lost into the dream world.

"shhh don't disturb him, he is sleeping, let him rest."

Vastav felt the presence of someone, someone very near him. He tried to get up with all his efforts but lost all his energy. Suddenly, he noticed a bright, extremely bright light taking upward movement slow and silently escaping from his corporal body.

Vastav saw his feet ablaze with white light and got perplexed, is he the white light trying to escape or he is the body. An internal war arouses within. He collected all his intelligence, all the lessons he learned as a child and a student couldn't make him perceive what was happening. As the light took its upward journey, Vastav saw his feet, legs, knees, torso, waist, and finally his whole body except the face. Vastav gave up and lost consciousness of the whole body.

"Am I paralyzed" he tried hard to recall where he is. The only thing he had control over is a particular area in the mid of his brows.

"Wong hum, hum li saaa~" the same melancholic tune. Continuous repetition of the unknown verses in an alien language shook Vastav's entire existence."Eka, Eka, I am going, I am going, please tell mom, Vasu Chala Gaya". With all his might Vastav couldn't bring those words into the corporal world. Vastav felt a strong magnetic pull towards the song of death. He looked back and saw his own body lying like a corpse on the bed and Eka on the bed beside him. Seeing Eka, he got back his lost confidence. 

"Ekkkaaa"...with a tremendous shout he woke up. Eka took woke up and rushed to Vastav. He(Vastav) got up from bed with eyes like burning coal looked through the window. "You rascal, come, come and take me now. I too want to see how daring you are. I am Vastav....Vastav Kaushik, don't challenge me, or else I will shatter your existence."What happened Vastav Bhaiya, "Eka's every cell trembled at this outbreak. He knew Vastav very well, had had lots of parties but never saw him out of control. 

The duo sat silently looking at each other's faces. Eka consoled himself that 4 bottles of wine are enough to shake anyone. 

Suddenly his eyes fell on the table…

3 bottles were untouched…the fourth one was almost full. Eka's brain started recalling the missing link,"0K brother, first sip for the dynamic Engineer." For the first time on hell earth, Eka's conscience forced him to believe in the presence of an unknown, undefined power in the room. "Vastav Bhaiya… the bottle is full, we had only one drink, how it can...… Vastav remained silent and escaping the eyes of Eka, threw a poly pack from his pocket through the window.
