MY HEART IS ON FIRE

Translated from an unknown Hindi paper of unknown date

Mumbai: The Firemen stationed at the Jawahar fire station become all jittery if they hear a woman's voice on the phone. This policestation gets calls from anonymous women at an average of 70 calls per day. These calls filled with sexual enuendoes started a few months ago. The callers ask strange questions of the firemen. Sample this: "What all kinds of fire do you extinguish?" or "My heart is on fire" The station officer A.R. Purab says that many women even give their addresses, but when we reach the place we get scolded. The officials at the fire station have lodged a complaint with the police but with no result. Now they plan to go to the court to get rid of this menace.
