Mumbai 29th Nov.08 It was easy for the commandos to get them in an hour...but with the hostages...it was essential to move carefully each survivor .....hats off to them they kept their cool and fought bullets and bombs trying to save each life........ One story close to our home: Our maids husband Manoj Negar is a driver at TAJ...she sometimes gets tissue papers with Taj printed on it with a proud smile " majha nuvra annala..Taj cha aahe"...But the last 3 days was tense in our home too .......the drivers at TAJ were all asked to be standby for these 3 nights during the fight...waiting to carry people to hospitals. She called him many times from our home phone asking him to come back home.He is like a simple guy & she a stern wife and has been a chaufffer at TAJ for some time now.I could hear her scolding him..." TU atta ghari yeh bhagu..." u better come home ….He refused saying "tyanla maghi jaarooth ahhee ge"..they need me here ..... As the fighting continued at Taj, our house also grew tense, we would stay awake till 4 AM and resume watching at 6AM hoping and praying....at one point during the action, all the drivers including Manoj was asked to run in and get the wounded/alive people from the 4th floor......they were told to run back fast drop all and lie down if firing starts...Manoj ran in with another guy...it was dark inside and the floors slippery....it was a place the drivers had never seen..they ran up the floors ....through the dark corridors of terror, looking for survivors among the bodies in the hallway. They found a foreign national on the 4 th floor wounded on right leg bleeding profusely...he was very heavy these 2 could not carry him ...so they dragged him ...by the time they reached the 3rd floor firing started...the other guy ran ......Manoj continued to drag the man till the 2 floor suddenly the firing intensified....he tried dragging him further...but could not and ran down for cover....after sometime the firing stopped and he wanted to go back...the army did not let him in.....thats when we saw him on TV .....our maid went numb,so did our home..it was only after an hour she got a call saying he is OK and will come home in the morning. Manoj is home now, hoping and praying that the man survived........He did not care for his life....he did not ask why should I go in....and he was not a commando, he was just another Indian. The maid was telling my wife last night "he did all he could...he tried … now keeps saying 'tho vachala aasel" he must have survived na. " me thayala kahli annala asto...pun tey gooli marat hote re....teri me gela Even I dont know if he survived...but I know one thing that driver was no less than a commando...he risked his life....not thinking about his wife and kids at home... if he can do it ...i think we can do it for country...without questions...its about India How many such people must have put their lives on the line....they will never receive a mention, as we discuss the Heroes lets not forgets these unsung Hero's. ------------------- Few Q's asked and Answers Given : Ans: Would u burn your house down if a mouse got into your home..just to kill that mouse soon.
