Phoenix in yet another palindrome
Sure the topic will be sounding incoherent to you. Now what is a PHOENIX? It’s a mythical bird that rishes from ashes signifying revival after destruction. A PALINDROME is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units (such as a strand of DNA) that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted).
But what is the relation between these two? Actually myself(the phoenix) is trying to come back to my normal daily life after the 9/10 AAGNIKAND. Yes my room 202 of Hostel Visvesvaraya caught fire around 0100 hours on 9th September ie last Sunday. The cause of the fire is not known for sure but I think it started from the old emergency light of mine or short circuit might have caused the table lamp that was ON to catch fire.
When the fire started we, the TOPFLOORERs, were playing
dumbcharades as the power had gone due to some phase problem. We were getting the smell of smoke but could not figure what was causing it or thought it was the regular smoke from the Adityapur small-scale industries. So we continued with our game and only when the smoke became dense,we thought something was really on fire. So we started waking up the fellow hosteliers and told them to vacate the hostel. I was bringing out people from my lobby then Deepesh, my diagonal neighbour, pointed out that the smoke was coming out from my room. I slowly opened the door so as not to feed the smoke with supply of air. By then Vipul, Vivin and Manish also arrived. Together we put off the fire. For extinguishing the fire we used water, that was a foolish idea but really people loose their common sense in crisis time. Anyways we had put OFF the main switch and the water was poured over the burning mass, not on the electrical circuit.
Thanks to god, the damage was minimal. Loss of property includes a mobile charger. two emergency lights, cosmetics and magazines/newspapers. I have shifted my room to the ground floor in 131. The previous room 202 now bears a haunted look and that is frightening my ex-neighbour Aditya. He’s a real coward.
Now coming to the Palindrome link. Till now in this college I have had three rooms namely A/111, E/202 and E/131. The three room numbers are a Palindrome;111, 202 and 131. There’s one more fact about these three numbers. The sum of digits is increasing by 1 from 3 to 4 & then to 5.
This post comes direct from my new room and LIFE continues from here…
