Para-normal Activity and us !

It must've been a cursed moment when my room mate(Nadu) thought of watching horror movie "Paranormal Activity -2" in theatre. Now this guy who normally watches any and all Hindi movies, suggested this English movie with such an enthusiasm that I had no other option to say yes. I was tempted to ask him the reason but this sudden transition from Bollywood to Hollywood was rather pleasing so I kept my curiosity at bay.

It was definitely a cursed moment when a thought occurred to me of calling my 2nd friend, Narsi.
Since he had been down with cold for quite some time now, it would be a good change for him as well. Of course he said yes. Not only that, he appeared quite bubbling and energetic contrary to his dormant state of affairs.
"Sure, lets go. I'm tired of sleeping all day anyways", were the actual words uttered.
Let me pause for a moment while the reader notes this point very well.

At the Theatre
===========
We established ourselves in the theatre. Movie started.
Nothing happened for 5 minutes...
I was okay. Narsi was okay. Nadu was okay.
Nothing happened for 10 minutes...
I was okay. Narsi was playing with his iPhone. Nadu was probably busy in checking out the babe in the movie.
Nothing happened for 20 minutes...
I was still okay.(I've seen worse)
Narsi was now immersed in iPhone. (die Apple, die)
Nadu was probably busy in wondering whether this was a horror movie or not.

And then it started - so called "shocking" scenes. On the first of such "shock", I was truly shocked ! but not because of the movie, it was because of Narsi ! He was sleeping peacefully amongst all those screams and shattering sounds. I nudged him and he woke up.
"What happened?" asked Mr. sleepy.
"The closet door opened just like that ! and all glasses were shattered !", I replied.
"Okay," said Narsi and went back to being sleepy!
Now here's the point - it really sounds stupid when you try to explain a "scary scene" to someone. And it definitely doesn't help if the subject is a sleepy individual who responds with "oh, OK. Never mind." kinda response.
Things kept happening and I found them more and more stupid as I kept telling Narsi -
"Hey, look - the baby's getting lifted in mid air"
"Wow, Narsi - the lady's being dragged by no one!"
"Holy @%^#, did she just kill them??"

All these exclamations died in 3 milliseconds after being born when I thought of explaining them to Narsi.

However, the true horror came towards the end of the movie, when I realized that Narsi might have been snoring for some time now. THAT moment, for me - was scary!

In search of true horror !

I have tried almost everything.
I went online and searched "horror" "ghost" "scary" "gory" "bhoot" and their colleagues.
I tried going through various websites for scariest films ever. I watched most of them but could not manage to get scared.
I even checked out nook and corner of wikipedia - to get the best in the best of horror genre.
They say - Japanese horror is the best. I tried that. I even made my eyes smaller like east asian people to see the film from their point of "view". Nothing. no fear - no goosebumps.

In desperate conditions, I ventured into hitherto unknown territory like Philippine/Malay movies. But to no avail. I called friends, relatives, their friends and their relatives - but I failed to get a movie/ script/book that would make me shiver with fear.

At last, My country rescued me. It helped me to find what I was searching for, and that too without much efforts. That's why I love my country. I merely looked that the thing and I was scared as hell. I had found my true horror. Unbelievable yet a true story. Happening in modern India, in contemporary times. Such a horrible experience that for a few minutes my eyeballs came out of the sockets - simply by the very nature of the content.

Ah, what is it? Here it goes, But let me warn you, please make sure you have a strong heart.
