Vishwas: Okay can you tell now Doctor.

Dr. Vishwanathan: Patience..... is everything Vishwas, please calm down.

Vishwas: Hmm...

Dr. Vishwanathan: It's really a very old case, i don't think ghosts are involved in this case.

Hilda 'D'Souza: What uncle? Ghosts!

Dr. Vishwanathan: Yes my child, even though I'm a paranormal researcher, am also a psychiatrist. But ghosts are not involved in this.

Vishwas: Okay then what's about that article ghost fact or fiction!

Dr. Vishwanathan: Did you complete the article?

Vishwas: No I have doubts.

Dr. Vishwanathan: I know what is your doubt, I'll tell you clearly, listen.

Vishwas: Hmm.....

Solomon: Please Doctor, don't delay.....

Dr. Vishwanathan: Yes, listen carefully, according to my research ghost never exists, I'm a retired paranormal investigator, now my strength has gone in searching it, but one thing, ghosts don't exist, but demons exists, I think Solomon will know about the previous days of Noah from the Bible.

Solomon: Yes Doctor, the sons of God came down to earth and married the daughters of men, so god decided to chase them from heaven and pushed them to earth, and the demons really had power than humans, so they're also living in this earth along with us, I'm saying this as a mind calculation.

Dr. Vishwanathan: Yes it's true, I would really say it's true. Vishwas, do you have any Muslim friends, ask them about the same incidence recorded in Quran.

Vishwas: Okay Doctor, but I don't have any Muslim friends, I'll try....

Dr. Vishwanathan: Yes please, I'll continue and move further.

Claire: Excuse me Sir.... Coffee, tea and snacks are ready, it's good to have a break sir.

Dr. Vishwanathan: Yeah she's right, let's take a break.

Solomon: Sure.

Hilda 'D'Souza: Okay thanks a lot.

Vishwas: Can you please finish your break as soon as possible?

Dr. Vishwanathan: Vishwas, patience.

Vishwas: Hmmm.....
