26/11 The attack on mumbai, pg no. 65
ordinary folks, extraordinary moments!
"i crossed my fingers and decided to take a chance":
dr. tilu mangeshikar
when the terrorists opened fire. dr tilu mangeshikar along with daughter kalindi and her doctor husband prashant, was attending a wedding reception in the taj hotel. " i remember wondering why they were bursting loud crackers now when the baraat was already here", says mangeshikar. within seconds, the hotel staff confirmed gunshots, shut the doors to the crystal room and told the guests to duck. mangeshikar along with the other guests, crawled to the taj chambers where they were holed up for four hours.
around 2am we were evacuated/ three men in khakhi escorted us through a narrow corridor when suddenly bullets rained at us from the front. we stumbled back to the room that had been our refuge and baricaded the doors with the tables and chairs. mangeshikar then realized one of the hotels employ had been hit. " the bullet entered from rajan's back and had come out from front through the abdomen, his intestines had popped out". with no sanitized gloves in sight mangeshikar grabbed the hotel serviettes and pushed back the intestines into the wounded man,
the bleeding was controlled but rajan was writhing in pain. we did not know how log the ordeal would last and i had to do something. " fortunately, one of the foreigners has some painkillers. i just had to take a call. i had to take the call i had to take a chance and cross my fingers rajan would make it" she says. the painkillers worked. the injured man calmed down. when help came at 8am on thrusday raja was rushed to bombay hospital for immediate medical care. he was reported to have survived. thanks in no small way to dr. mangeshikar.

Aamir Khan and college???
i am watching dil chata hai now, was just wondering when i was in my primary school i used to sing "papa kehte hai" and say ill be an astronaut when i grow up, aamir khan in that song had just graduated from college and was about step in the outer world.. and again when i went in secondary school, dil chata hai came.. where he was again in college enjoying his college life to the fullest!!!
then at last when i was about to finish my school ie my 10th, did he finally finish his college as DJ in rang de basanti though he never left the campus.. and now when i am in COLLEGE, he again came back in 3 idiots..
what the hell is going on with aamir khan and college??? :O
