Jyothika : Hey Rajini, it was a surprise to see u here today. We tried to reach your mobile yesterday but could not get you.. How you came here at the right time?
Rajini : hahaha... (laughs and turns to the screen and tells), When I come, how I come, nobody can guess, but whenever needed I would be right there".
Jyothika : OK OK, I know, Prabhu would have sms-ed you about the new venture we are upto.
Rajini : yeah yeah, i got his message.I have come to help you to set up the new office. I have a small work to be completed here, let's go to Siruseri today evening. Prabhu too would be there at that time
Jyothika : Anyway, Thank god u saved my code, otherwise they would have spoiled my entire work
Evening time..Prabhu, Jyothika and Rajini arrived in a car to inspect their newly acquired office, LMRV Software company. Since the doors were locked, Rajini went to the security cabin and asked for the key from the Chief Security, Vijayakumar. Vijayakumar inquired why he needed the key. Rajini informed him that Prabhu had acquired the company and soon he would resume the operations at LMRV Software Company. Vijayakumar was shocked. "LMRV Company???.......... You mean you had bought that one". Rajini "Yea yea..you are right...What is the matter?". Vijayakumar replied "Sir, that company is haunted. ".
All of them were surprised. "What do you mean" asked a puzzled Prabhu. Vijayakumar continued "yes sir, that company is haunted by some black magic. Dont you see that company remaining locked for months. There is a story behind it. ". Vijayakumar started narrating the story of the mystery behind the LMRV software company.”
"This is a MNC company which had its corporate head office at US. Some years ago, Mr.Babu was appointed Divisional Manager for Chennai office. Babu was a good administrator and an excellent manager. The company's profit increased multi fold under him and the company was getting some plum projects from major US companies.. While looking for a C resource, Babu came to know of one talented girl called Chandralekha…who came first place in the World level conference of Programmers held two years ago. She was just brilliant when it comes to 'C' and PERL programming. If she started coding in C, one can watch it the entire day, (the complexity of the code, very hard to understand for any others). Babu wanted to employ Chandralekha in his company, who he thought would be the best resource for a high risk project he got. But she was already working for HPTR Software Company though at a lower pay. Babu tried all his tricks to get Chandralekha in our company but Chandralekha was steadfast in her decision. Finally Babu pressurized the consultancy through which Chandralekha got into her company and made her join LMRV software company. Chandralekha was unhappy, but unable to do much about that, she started working here. At nights she would stay in the company, secretly doing coding for her old company and send it through internet to them. Babu found it one day when he was analyzing why there were so many Night Taxi requisitions from Chandralekha. He called the old Project Manager of Chandralekha, Mr.Arun to his company, and infront of Chandralekha he made the MD of HPTR company dismiss Arun. Chandralekha was also fired from LMRV Company and both of their names were blacklisted so that they would not be able to join in any other software company. The project that Chandralekha was involved in here was dropped and her computer, in which the entire code she had written was locked and shifted to the godown. Soon after this incident Babu went onsite, But those who were working here began to get affected by many problems, frequent virus attack, hacking attack etc., It was rumored that Chandralekha, as a measure of revenge, had employed some black magic here and the employees working in that company or the computers there would be get affected. It was beginning to show, as almost everyone encountered some or other serious problems in their official and personal life. Gradually, the employees shifted to other companies, and hence the head office was forced to shut down its operations in Chennai. The black magic of Chandralekha was still haunting the company. It could cause problems to anybody who enters this office".Vijayakumar finished this lengthyyyy flashback as Rajini and Prabhu completed another yawn. But Jyothika was keenly listening to this story.........
