Fire in The 'Bhoot' Building

Last Evening while we were getting ready to leave for the day, we noticed smoke billowing out of the broken windows of the building across the road. Soon we saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the dilapidated building from where now black smoke was emanating and engulfing the entire side wall rising up and becoming one with the night sky.

On arriving at the entrance saw a pile of rubbish, mainly comprising of the branches of trees that had been cut down ablaze. The flames were leaping up a good 5 feet and the crowd, not unusual in Kolkata, standing a good 15 feet behind discussing how the fire might have started. All this said, someone suddenly realised that if the fire wasn't doused, a catastrophe was in the making. So one of the parking attendants suddenly got busy with a bucket and after five or six rounds, the fire was put out.

So Monday night's excitement quota had been filled, wonder what's in store for this evening?
