Almost every 90s kid has been a part of that one friend group where everyone would gather every time there was a power cut, to narrate tales of ghosts, spirits, or even imaginary monsters like the "Monkey Man of Delhi".

We find ourselves reminiscing about those days when storytelling was an integral part of our lives.

As we grew up, the curiosity with which we listened to those tales with our wide eyes slowly diminished.

This is our attempt to make you relive that nostalgia.
