Pehla Adhyaya: Band DarwazaRaj ke purane ghar mein, attic ka woh kamra 25 saal se band pada tha. Dadi zinda thi tab unhone kaha tha, "Yeh darwaza kabhi mat kholna, beta. Raat mein awaazein aati hain... jo andar jaaye, woh lautkar nahi aata." Raj ko yeh sab bakwas lagta tha. 28 saal ka yeh ladka Mumbai ke ek chhote business office mein clerk tha – sapne to the, par himmat nahi. Har roz ghar lautkar woh sochta, "Kuch bada karna hai... par kaise?"Ek shaam, packing ke dauran dadi ki purani diary mili. Pehla page: "Yeh kamra sirf sach bolne walon ke liye khulta hai. Jo jhooth jeeta hai, uske liye band rahega." Raj hans pada. "Superstition!" Par raat ke 11:59 baje, jab clock 12 baja, niche se ek ajeeb si cheekh sunayi di. Attic ki taraf jaate hue darwaza... khud khul gaya.
