Lets play FIRE- FIRE

Its was just a usual hang out at night in DA-IICT hostel (a favorite timepass of college guys) involving Myself, The Deadly but innocuous Simba , Royal Jain Sahab and The revered Saurabh Misra (as his altruism is at peak right now and his engagement with the social club “SAMBHAV”). We were chatting about our college how it had made our life sick and miserable with draconian rules and exams(3 exam in a 4 month) and internships in 1 sem! Isn’t it to much? Me and Simba were playing “PAC-MAN” our latest passion .There was lot of anxiety and enthu going in the game as we trying our best(in turns) to make more high score and clear stages. Then Misraji suggested lets play Fire-Fire. He explained that the Fire– Fire is a game in which we just have to burn whatever we choose as our target and despises the most. As SIMPLE as that !!. Everyone there knows that how bosh the game was but still intriguing as nything which includes destruction(and that to of college property) Fancies us the most. Misraji suggested some ideas like we can flame up the Lab Building as becoz of it only we have to cut short our sleeps for past 3 years and attend all labs everyday some of which were of 3 hrs. Hectic – Hellic 3 hrs. Another choice was of burning the Library building for no apparent reason but simply becoz we don’t like the word libray and never used it. As there are guards sitting in both there building it won’t be safe so we decided lets keep our zeal for fire a bit short and small scale and do it (FIRE-FIRE) in the hostel only. But no one wants to play it in their room so the idea was giving by us and then Misraji found one match box Full of matchstick in my Room and then the idea exploded in his mind. He burnt a newspaper and the Game thus begins. We all became very excited abt it but then the Fire became very intense and Misraji just throws the paper out of his hand on to the floor. Rooms in hostels (especially boys, I haven’t seem ny girl room in hostel) are quite messy so was ours and cloths are all over the room so are the newspapers and magazines which we hardly read. In one corner a lot of cloths were pilled up on one chair and there were some newspapers on the ground near that chair. So the paper (which was burning quite intensely with Misaji’s enthu) reached near the chair and then the fire start taking the shape of actual fire. Thank God as were all 4 in the room we quickly hush up the fire But Fire is a dangerous thing to play with. As the room get filled with smoke we get out of the room after quenching the small fire (atleast that’s what we thought ). I quite vividly remember the scene of smoke coming out of my room’s window like coming out of an chimney instead. Really quite fascinating to watch.

But Something was smoldering back in the room which we didn’t notice. After 10-15 minutes Simba went in the room to play PAC-MAN as his current passion at that time was to beat my score. It was then he realized that something was burning behind the chair and he came out shouting FIRE- FIRE-FIRE-FIRE-FIRE…………..

Hearing more abt fire a chill went through my spine and my heart. I thought today my room gonna be blown up. Inside we went, the room was full of smoke and dusty soot flying in the air. Something was burning behind the chair so we quickly removed all the stuff lying on the floor and put them outside the room. We found a burning pillow , towel and some cloths burning profoundly. I and Simba rushed and brought water and others in the meantime tried to bring the fire down and check the room so that time nothing was left burning.

Finally the fire was ended and we learnt the lesson we have forgotton —
FIRE IS NOT A THING TO BE PLAYED WITH”
