President Pranab Mukherjee's son Abhijit Mukherjee will hold on to 13, Talkatora Road -- the official bungalow of his father which was considered lucky for him.

Though Abhijit, a first-timer in Parliament, is entitled to a much smaller official accommodation, the House Committee of Lok Sabha conferred a bonanza on him by allotting the Type 7 bungalow.

It seems Abhijit believes that 13, Talkatora Road, which had been his father's home in Delhi for 18 years, will bring good fortune for him just like his father.

Abhijit is not the only person to get a bigger official residence than the entitlement. There are many precedents when the House Committee has diverted from the usual norm considering security and other issues, including pedigree.

The number 13, conventionally believed unlucky, turned out to be very lucky for Mukherjee who lived in the relatively modest official residence ignoring all superstitious warnings and refused to move out despite being entitled to a bigger house.

Mukherjee lived in the Talkatora Road bungalow ever since he became an MP despite several warnings that the number 13 was unlucky. However, Mukherjee's career has only gone one way since -- up.

While Mukherjee was entitled to a larger government bungalow considering his status as a senior minister in UPA, he stayed put at 13, Talkatora Road, spurning all suggestions to shift to a bigger house.
