Children’s minds and brains are designed to be especially open to experience. They are unencumbered by the executive planning, focused attention and prefrontal control that fuels the mad endeavour of adult life, the getting and spending that lays waste our powers. Urmi, the protagonist of the novella, Pakki Haveli, is a small girl who is struggling with the atmosphere of her family. “Pakki Haveli” is known as haunted house in Punjab. The whole atmosphere of family is woven around supernatural elements: ghost that is only created by some strange situations as unusual weeping and laughing imagery, black shade, cutting of some locks of Urmi’s mother in her pregnancy in night and the tall trees of backside of home. It can be depicted that the co-incidental conditions of normal life are defined as ghost in this novella. It may be that Amrita Pritam wants to clear the doubt about “Pakki Haveli” or it can be that she wants to show the truth behind the “Pakki Haveli”. Both secrets get disclosed in the novella by her when Amrita Pritam defines the mental chaos of Urmi in such terrific atmosphere.
