Three Indian students were charred to death when a huge fire engulfed a house in western district of this city early on Thursday, police said.
The three men aged 30, 24 and 22 were unable to escape from the front bedroom as the blaze spread quickly and there was little the fire fighters could do to save them, Fire Brigade authorities said here.
The bodies of two of the men were found at the back of the house once crews had extinguished the flames. The third victim was found a short time later in the hall, they said.
However, a man, a woman and their daughter managed to escape the fire unharmed, they said.
A detective from the Victorian state Police arson squad said the dead men were Indian students studying in Australia for about two years. Police were contacting the victims’ families in India, he added.
Cause of the fire was still being investigated, the detective said.
The three people who escaped the blaze are in shock and staying with friends. Last month, two Indian students died while they were drowned near a Melbourne beach.

Superstition and folklore about the Christmas flavor appears timeless. Here is a illustration:
- ~animals will all kneel down as the Holy Night gets in,
- ~bees buzz the ‘100th psalm’ on Christmas Eve,
- ~a breezy Christmas will bring good fortune,
- ~a person born on Christmas Day can see the Little People,
- ~a cricket on the fireplace brings good luck,
- ~opening all doors of the house at midnight allows evil spirits to take leave,
- ~you will have one auspicious month for each Christmas pudding you taste,
- ~the tree must be removed down by Twelfth night-time or ill luck will accompany,
- ~’if Christmas on a Sunday be, a blowy winter we shall ascertain’,
- ~’hours of sun on Christmas Day, so many icings in the month of May’,
- ~the Twelve Days of Christmas will forecast each month’s weather for the following year,
and so on…..
LEGEND OF THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE
One frosty Christmas Eve, Martin Luther was journeying home by the forest. It was a clearly, starlit night time, and the stars scintillated through the limbs of the predominating evergreen trees.
Martin Luther was bewildered by the great thing about the view, and wished well his wife and children could see it. So he cut knock down a young fir tree and took it into his house. And then he put wax light on the tree branches to gleam like stars.
And then he called his wife and children to see it and told them; “This is how the stars gleamed down on Bethlehem long ago, when Jesus was born.”
And that was the very first Christmas tree.
Santa Claus
Santa comes on your roof top and makes sure that his list is set and that all the gifts are in his bagful. As he begins down the lamp chimney with his bag of presents on his shoulder joint, he slips down the chimney and makes sure that he fire is not ablaze as to not hurt him. As he reaches the bottom and ascents out of the open fireplace, Santa makes sure that everyone is asleep and he is rather as a mouse as he put the gift under the tree and fills up the oodles.
If your house does not have a open fireplace don’t worry Santa is jolly cunning, he finds a way in, because Santa is chill.
Santa Stockings
Santa hands over presents to all good youngsters and in conformity to custom. The legend of the traditional hanging of the Christmas stocking began when Saint Nicholas dropped gold coins down a hapless household chimney and the coins landed in stockings hung by the fire to dry.
When Santa is out he also takes care of the animals at Christmas time. As legend has it, the animals are also visited by Santa to make sure that their are being taken care of. Even the Polar bears at the North Pole are waiting for Santa’s arrival.
Just alike the clever cat, who knows that Santa will come as soon as they are asleep, is at rest early. However, this not trick for cats because as everyone knows that cats don’t have a trouble with going to sleep because this is their favored past time.
