RAKSHASTAGDI BHUTACHI WADI

This is a game that I invented along with 3 of my friends when I was in the 5th std. I'll tell you what its name means. Rakshastagdi is the name of a place somewhere in South India. And Bhutachi wadi can be translated as "a ghost's residence". Rakshastagdi is used just because it rhymes with Bhutachi wadi.

There was this special classroom we had where we would attend lectures held specially for 4 of us. It used to be very dark inside, and we would close the door and draw all the curtains to make it darker. Then we would arrange all the benches and chairs haphazardly. Then the game would start. One of us would be blindfolded, and she would have to go across the room for say 3-4 times, crossing all the hurdles, (chairs) and the rest of us would try to scare her. We would shout "rakshastagdi..... bhutachi wadi......." and make ghost sounds. This was supposed to a really scary game. But of course, brave little Dan was never scared. :D

Maybe others in our school were, on hearing screams of "rakshastagdi..... bhutachi wadi......" coming from that classroom.
