Somewhere in
early 1986 an untoward thing happened in
my hostel room D -312.Incidentally my neighbors at D 312 were Girijesh Prasad
Pandey to my left, Sanal Kumar to my right and PVK Mohan in the room opposite
to mine. Girijesh used to do Yoga every morning.
What happened was that I lit an incense stick around 6pm
in the evening ..stuck it into the wall..and then went downstairs for some work
leaving my room open. When I returned to my alarm I found Indradeep Singh
dousing a small fire in my room. Indradeep was apparently returning from a bath
and noticed some fumes from my room and instantly doused it with the little
water that was laft in his bucket. I was aghast when I returned and was upset
for many days.
What had happened was this. The fiery droppings from the incense
stick that I had lit had dropped on a banian that was on a string below setting
the banian on fire. What a freak and un-predictable event. Luckily Indradeep
saved the day because of his presence of mind. Thanks to you Indradeep even
after so many years.
People who stay in hostels more precisely students must
take note of this incident and take adequate care in their rooms.
