Plot
GhanaDa was almost defeated. Almost, yes, because he had all capabilities to come out of the most difficult situations winning every time. All started on a Saturday night at no. 72, Bamamali Nasjar lane, when boarders went to sleep a little late after partying. At about midnight there was heard an inhuman blood chilling cry coming out of the third floor attic room of GhanaDa, followed by he himself recklessly running down the stairs. The worried boarders rushed out and asked eagerly, "What happened, GhanaDa?"
