Weird Stories Part I...

Since i have nothing to write about, i will go on a trip down memory lane and find some exciting stories from my really really boring life...

When i was in 12th standard, while going to Kalrashukla Classes in Parle (east) all of us who stayed on the western side and close enough to make it by bus had to get off at a bus stop called Rasraj, with a scenic view of a huge gutter and squatting people every morning...

One day (what i thought was) an urban legend of the 'Sekchool Predator' reached my ears. Apparently two guys and two girls were standing at the bus stop on their way home ('Scream' director, i have a copyright for this story...) and some fat, middle-aged was walking up and down the length of the bus stop and whispering 'sekchool, sekchool' when he got close to the 4 of them. Now before they could do anything about it, their bus came and they thought 'better to just ignore it'. (or maybe they were too chicken to do anything about it...)

The Sekchool Predator laid low for a few days... Till one day he resurfaced and
came across his next victim... me!!! (not such an exciting twist, no?)

This time he approached his lonely victim from the side. i was listening to music for some time and failed to notice the fat, middle-aged man fitting the description of SP. Soon the music stopped and the earplugs came out. i could someone trying to get my attention with some words almost in a whisper. 'Sek, sek' is what the voice said. 'Sek'?? What was that? A unit of time, perhaps? i looked around and SP was pacing up and down the length of the bus stop (very repetitive story, but what to do?). Strange. Then he started using the word that struck terror (ok im over exaggerating) in the hearts of young people all over the world (ok this is definitely over the top): Sekchool.

And then my bus came and i hopped onto it and went home. Never heard from him or about him ever again.
Until of course, some people in college (PD for example) referred to similar incidents at the same bus stop, but that was four years later...

Theories:
1) Desperate guy looking for some 'sek' with anything that moves.
2) Pervert who gets turned on by using the word.
3) Pimp trying to advertise his whores.
4) Guy offering a place for young couples to make out (yes, this was one of the theories that stemmed from the first incident).
5) Prankster out to scare poor, innocent kids.
6) Some lout who has nothing better to do in life.

Moral of the Story: The long awaited bus always comes when the story is just beginning to get interesting...
