Towering Inferno - Fire at our Apartment - Rajendra Vihar - A311....
Story So far :- We were sleeping and it was 1 am . I felt i could hear my door bell ringing in my dreams..only to realise that it actually was..thanks to my alert Wife !! Preeti shook me up and said " check who is ringing the bell at such late hours.." . I went to the main door and peeped from the Eye Hole. Nobody there !!! suddenly the Intercom rang !!!! I felt a goblet of saliva going down my throat because i had watched AAHAT on Sony TV before going to sleep....
I picked up the phone and a Lady who was panting very hard told me through her abrupt breaths that there is a fire in my apartment !!!! That's it.. I panicked and ran around my house to search for the source. Preeti had continued on the phone from there and informed me that it wa not in our flat but in A311...2 floor directly abouve us !!!. " pack your valuables" I shouted and took my camera, Full pant where there was my purse and i tried to carry my Sony Playstation 3 but it was overwhelmingly put down by my good wife with just one stare....She had caught hold of Khushi and sped down towards our car. Suddenly i felt as if I could not lock my door !!! It was just fear as we could see people running down the stairs in large nos . Gathering my senses i sped down and reached my car. We put everything in the car and I went near the site from where we could safely see the horrifying sight. Incidentally the Fire Station Wagon had arrived timely and they were able to bring the fore under control very soon. I was not able to use flash as that would have diverted the fire towards me !!!!. I caught the action from behind a car. You can see that the grill has bent with heat and it was more horrifying to see the inferno cause such collosal damage...Shortly the Window AC fell creating a fresh wave of panic but it was brought under control as well. Went back to sleep but couldn't as the situation was very scary and it kept running in our head that we leave the Refrigerator running when we leave our homes for work. What if !!!!!!!!???????
