Begunkodar railway station in Purulia district of West Bengal came in Indian Railways records as one of its 10 'haunted' railway stations in 1967 after passengers deserted it when the station master reportedly died after seeing a white sari clad woman walking along the railway tracks. The railway station remained shut for 42 years until 2009 when Mamata Banerjee reopened it during her tenure as railways minister. However, nobody stayed back at the station after 5 pm every day.

Royal Ghosts of Awadh | अवध के शाही भूत
For over three decades, Malcha Mahal, a 14th-century hunting lodge in the middle of Delhi’s ridge forest, inhabited by the self-proclaimed royal family of Oudh, remained out of bounds for those uninvited. Until the afternoon of September 3, 2017, not many had entered the lodge. And then one afternoon, the palace’s last resident, Prince Ali Raza was found dead. For over three decades, Prince Ali Raza lived at the palace with his mother Wilayat and sister Sakina. Proclaiming themselves as descendants of the Oudh Royal family, the three had refused to leave the 14th-century hunting lodge until the government returned their ancestral property. A New York Times article recently suggested that the three may not have been related to the Royal family. The reporter interviewed Raza’s relatives who said Raza was no prince. They said Wilayat hallucinated. The three took the truth to their graves.

Dhaak: Untold Story - Rabindranath Tagore | रबीन्द्रनाथ टैगोर
“Some of Rabindranath’s biographers have called Kadambari “the deepest female influence on Rabindranath’s youth”, “playmate and guardian angel”, “deepest heartfelt realisation in [Rabindranath’s] life”. But perhaps what she meant to Rabindranath is best expressed in his own words, even when Kadambari is not their explicit addressee: “The heart of human beings is like liquid, which changes shape if the containers are different. Very rarely it finds the ideal container where it will not feel the emptiness or constriction.” Kadambari was simply Rabi’s ideal container.” Listen to this ageless story about the legend we adore and admire, narrated by your dost and host Tushar Sen : https://instagram.com/tusharsarojsen | www.dhaak.com
