00:00Putnath and the brave little boy, in a quiet village nestled between green hills and whispering trees,
00:08there stood an old mansion called Shanti Bhavan.
00:12Most people said it was haunted, windows creaked on their own,
00:17lights flickered even without electricity, and sometimes laughter echoed at midnight.
00:24But nine-year-old Arav wasn't afraid of ghost stories.
00:29In fact, he loved them.
00:31When his family moved into the village and he heard about Shanti Bhavan, he didn't run.
00:37He got curious.
00:39One afternoon, while exploring the garden near the mansion,
00:43he found an old swing swaying gently, though there was no wind.
00:47Is someone there? Arav asked bravely.
00:50A puff of chilly air danced around him, and then, pop!
00:55A plump, floating ghost with a mustache and kind eyes appeared.
01:01I'm Putnath, the ghost said with a bow.
01:04Guardian of this mansion, you're not scared?
01:07Arav grinned.
01:08You're kind of cool? Want to play?
01:11And just like that, a friendship began.
01:14Every day after school, Arav would visit Putnath.
01:17They played hide-and-seek.
01:20Putnath was terrible at hiding, told stories, and even pranked the cows by mooing like lions.
01:27But soon, Arav learned that Putnath had a wish.
01:31I protected this mansion for 100 years, but now, I'd like to rest.
01:38If only someone would remember me kindly.
01:41Arav had an idea.
01:43He invited the whole village for a ghost goodbye party, with lights, music, and stories.
01:50Everyone came, curious and scared.
01:53But when they saw Putnath, floating with a smile and a garland around his neck, they cheered.
02:00He wasn't scary at all, just lonely.
02:04As the clock struck midnight, Putnath saluted everyone, winked at Arav, and slowly faded into sparkles.
02:13Goodbye, my friend, Arav whispered.
02:15From that night on, Shanti Bhavan was never spooky again.
02:20And every year, on the same night, the village celebrated Putnath Day,
02:26in honor of a ghost who just wanted to be remembered.
