Stairs...DownStairs :)

I had a heart throbbing experience :) I would love to share it in my blog:) I work between 12 PM -9PM, later they changed my time to 11.30 AM to 8.30PM, since the building gets isolated after 8.30 PM

I work in the Government Building and we are at 19th floor, I restrict using the name of our building, since its one of the popular building in Bangalore, by the way lift stops working at sharp 9 PM , if you slip taking a look at your watch before 9 and don't wind up and pack your bags, you have to take stairs from19th floors with no lights :-)

I was one amonst  many I guess to take stairs, whistling or hummina an usual song to keep your mind occupied. I slipped on running away at sharp 9 PM and thought anyways I missed the lift, rammed my mind focussing to complete my tasks started winding up closer to 10 PM. I said good bye to few of my colleagues who just started working in the night shift at 9PM teasing them to be up all night whilst I get back partying and started towards the stairs. I just turn back to take a look at company logo at the main entrance,  it was shimmering......and went close to take a look at it and it seemed to be alright hanging in there... I thought my eyes were stressed.. probably.

I started tapping my heels on the stairs, like a tap dancer :) as my heels breaking sharp noise....I started humming a song Zombie...Its in your mind....zombie...aah hoo...aah..hooo......I started feeling exhausted as the stair never seemed to be ending at all,....when I saw last was 14th floor.....I came to 13th floor, that floor was a kind of smelling musty.....as if its not dusted for ages...painted in rusted blue and 13 floor painted in BOLD RED! and I thought of devils number, smirked looking at it and started down...and I completed 13th and next is suppose to be 12th right!!nahh...its 13 again!! i got confused same floor, same color and same rusty smell....my stomach started felling sick.....I brushed my hair and rubbed my eyes as If I am dreaming and started going down again....its same floor 13 again... I started running and its 13 again....looks like 13th floor is never ending!!! its almost 6 times....and I dont seem to be coming out of 13th floor...Like somebody programmed and kept me in loop at 13th floor.... started climbing up....so that I go back to work...and again I go to 13th floor.....I was lil panicked and started dialling office number... network is dead....I felt like trapped....

I heard weird whispers coming close to me with loud breath.....I started singing aloud and started chanting hanuman chalis....closed my eyes and started getting down the stairs...I was totally trapped...and i gathered little courage and stood on 13th floor and opened the glass, to seek for someone help....I could see popular Mall opposite, all lights are off and I check the time in my watch its struck at 10 PM and entire city seems to be sleeping.....I was confused as what NEXT and I started walking towards the lift and luckily I hear my office boy whistle and there he joins me and says madam its 12 PM what are you doing here? I was startled with no answer.

My heart halted for while, I skipped a heart beat and did not bother to explain him anything, I just cooked up story that I got call and went on for long !! we started conversing and there you go!! I was on ground floor, I ensured that he stays with me till I start my bike which was parked in the basement, dropped him till the gate, city was really lively on Friday night....It was christmas eve and entire city was like bright and lights everywhere. I could not believe my own eyes!! I am not sure when I looked through the window from floor...No light and pitch dark, was there power cut that time? NO CLUE! Did I fell asleep and started dreaming while walking!! NO CLUE, did the 13 floor really repeated many times...NO CLUE :)
