What was the tragedy?
This is based on a true story:
The doors at the Coconut Grove opened inward.
In the mad dash to escape the fire, people were crushed against the
doors and couldn't pull them open. After the Coconut Grove disaster in
1942, all public buildings had to have doors which opened outward.
A lady buys goods worth Rs. 200 from a shop. (shopkeeper is selling the goods with zero profit). The lady gives him Rs. 1000 note. The shopkeeper gets the change from
the next shop and keeps Rs. 200 for himself and returns Rs. 800 to the
lady. Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes with the Rs. 1000 note saying "duplicate" and takes his money back.
