"Hurray, hurray!! Hotel booked, tickets booked, now no one can stop us. The Chardham yatra is on the cards, and that's definite. The whole family at one place, in one bus. Oh! What fun it would be. We will create lifetime memories. What say, Suhana?", said Rohini giggling.

"I am not feeling good, Di. Something is not right", Suhana replied in low pitch.

"What is not right, Babes?", asked Suhana moving her hands in the air.

"That is not I am not able to figure out, Di", Rohini answered back.

"One sec. You dare not cancel this most awaited trip now. Everything is planned and packed. Don't you dare throw obstacles on the way now", Rohini spoke out in one go.

" But Di, listen to me, listen to me once. I just wanna to say that...", Suhana tried one last time but all in vain.

Rohini left the room, leaving a shocked and worried Suhana behind. She could smell the danger but was simply unable to figure it out.

She was feeling helpless. She could restrain herself from going on the trip but she was not that selfish to leave her family when she could smell the danger.

In a day, she boarded the train and then bus to catch the glimpse of the famous shrine, Kedarnath.

She was getting more and more restless as the bus was progressing towards its desired destination. She didn't want to regret it later, and she finally confides it with her family.

She informed them about her instinct which she was feeling right from the beginning when the trip was finalized. As expected, no one believed her and missed any way to make fun of her. But Suhana was determined and became successful in convincing all to at least take a skip of one day, if not a cancellation.

To her joy and satisfaction, everyone agreed to camp on the riverside for a day. The decision borough about temporary relief for Suhana.

Just then when the family was camping and chilling, they saw a landslide, followed by the whole bus drowning in the water with the passengers boarded in it within a fraction of seconds.

The sight was too horrifying to give chills and goosebumps to all. Nobody could utter a single word. The scenario became permanent in the eyes of the audience for the next few days.

Many incidences of floods and landslides followed later on. Thousand of innocent lives were lost, many were left homeless. Screams and cries followed for months.

Suhana was not happy to see the sights but was satisfied to see her family alive. Rohini could, at last, believe her sister now, and feeling sorry to not believe her from the very beginning.

Suhana's family was thankful to her, as later saved her from the disaster in the last minutes.

Suhana's instinct saved herself and her family. It was her senses that smelled something is not going to be right. It was her sixth sense which took a turn and warned her of the danger ahead.

It's not always that the sixth sense gives a bad signal. They can give good indications too. The thing is to understand them.

The sixth sense shows presence in every human. But some may understand it. Some only ignore it and regret it later.

To make full use of the sixth sense, one must maintain a proper calendar and note down intervals of feeling the same. One should not ignore it to make its full utilization. Who knows, it may save life.

To sum up,

not all things are the subject of science. Some questions are now also unanswered. Some are still left at nature's mercy.
