MUMBAI (Reuters) - A new Bollywood film about a plane hijacking involving a separatist militant outfit echoes the real life hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane in 1999.
But “Hijack”, directed by Kunal Shivdasani, will focus on a rescue operation conducted by lead actor Shiney Ahuja inside the aircraft — something that did not happen in the Kandahar case.
“It may seem similar to that of the Kandahar hijacking case but ‘Hijack’ is a purely fictional film,” Shivdasani told Reuters.
“We are not pointing fingers at the Kandahar hijackers or which group was responsible behind the incident.”
Five armed men hijacked the Airbus A-300 carrying 189 passengers and crew between Kathmandu and New Delhi on Christmas Eve in 1999. The plane touched down in western India, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates before landing in Kandahar in Afghanistan.
The hijackers killed one passenger early in the week-long stand-off, but the remaining passengers and crew walked free after India released three Kashmir separatist militants from jail.
India said the hijackers, who were never caught, were all Pakistani and accused Pakistan’s government of complicity in the hijacking, charges it denied.
British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, one of the freed militants, was later convicted and sentenced to death by a Pakistani court for his role in the murder in 2002 of Daniel Pearl, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal.
“My film is thoroughly commercial and if people come to watch my film due to similarity of the film’s plot to that of Kandahar incident, (it’s) good for us,” Shivdasani said.

AHMEDABAD: Call it good fortune or just the will of God. But the life in a seven-month-old foetus, that fell through the toilet bowl of a running train when the mother went to ease herself, still lives on!
Call it a miracle, perhaps. This tiny bundle weighing just 1.4 kg, which slipped from the womb into the toilet tube and crash-landed on rocks between two steel tracks, is from the top drawer of survival tales.
Born a good two months premature, she is recuperating in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Rajasthan Hospitals. Here, she lies without a scratch after the providential escape just before midnight on Tuesday.
“She is a fighter. In just 12 hours after the unthinkable accident, she was coming out of the accident quite well,” said pediatrician Dr Raj Kumar.
“She is a gift from God. How else can all this be explained,” the girl’s mother, Bhuri Kalbi (33), said. Bhuri is a native of Swaroopganj, located between Sirohi and Abu Road, in Rajasthan and was travelling by the Jodhpur-Ahmedabad train.
Bhuri was headed for Ahmedabad with her relatives for a medical check-up. She felt very weak on the toilet seat and passed out. The next thing she remembers is people knocking on the toilet door.
When she managed to get up to open the latched door, she realized an emptiness in her stomach. “I realised my stomach was flat. My child was gone,” said Bhuri whose husband works in a packaging unit in Ahmedabad.
Bhuri’s brother-in-law Arjun said when she opened the door she was semiconscious. He realised with complete shock what had happened. “We immediately pulled the chain at Kalol, two stations away from where the child had slipped off and alerted the train guard,” he said.
On a day when the Railway Budget was presented by Lalu Prasad, who promised ‘green toilets’ in trains, the girl can thank railway personnel for snatching her from sure death. As she lay on the track — fortunately located close to the Amblisayan railway station — some members of the Gram Rakshak Dal alerted station master KK Rai that a new-born child was lying on the track.
While rushing to the spot on foot, Rai said he could hear the cries of the baby from a distance. On coming closer, he could not believe what he saw. “The baby was lying dangerously close to the left track with the umbilical cord hanging by the side,” Rai said. The baby had turned blue due to the chill at midnight.
The railwaymen wrapped the baby in a cloth and called the local doctor. While the child was being examined, a call came, saying the parents were traced.
The mother could not believe her eyes when she was reunited with the baby two hours later at the Kalol Civil Hospital. And she just can’t take her eyes off this baby ever since.

Year 2008 is a leap year.
45 BC: Emperor Julius Caesar declares the last day of February as Leap Year Day, thus out of four, jumps it to three. Until that February 30th was the last day of the last month of the year, that’s why he picked this date.
4 AD: Emperor Caesar Augustus also edits the fault in Leap Years. The month of August is named after him. Also steals the last day of February so that August has full 31 days. Now February has 29 days in Leap Years.
1582: Pope Gregory XIII, moves the end of the year to December 31st, and makes century years leap years if they are divisible by 400. (So 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 was not.) He moved the end of the year back two months so that Easter would occur in the spring.
Some leap year birthdays.
- 1468 Paul III, last Renaissance pope, 1534-49
- 1468 Pope Paul III, Italian Clergyman
- 1896 Morarji Ranchhodji Desai - 6th Prime Minister of India from March 24, 1977 to July 15 1979. At 83, he was the oldest Prime Minister of India. (died in 1995)
- 1904 Rukmini Devi Arundale, Indian dancer and founder of Kalakshetra (d. 1986)
- 1984 Adam Sinclair, Indian Hockey player
Leap year myths
Getting married in a leap year brings bad luck to the couple, was believed in Greece. That was the reason, during the middle of the past century, couples avoided situation of a marriage date in a leap year.
Norway’s Henriksen siblings, were born on three consecutive Leap Days in the 1960s, as recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records.
It is assumed that the belief of women proposing to men

Homage to the legendary and the eternal tragic queen Madhubala on her Birthday/Death Anniversary in February
Her childhood days
Madhubala is India’s Hindi film industry’s, delicate, semi-tragic, mortal survival. She remains a seductress even 35+ year after her demise.
 
Madhubala’s father, was Ataullah Khan, a Pathan who had immigrated from the Pakistan. She was born, February 14, 1933, Valentines Day, in the Malad suburb of Bombay. Her birth name was Mumtaz Khan, the third of 11 children. Bombay Talkies studio was located in the Malad suburb where the Bombay Talkies was located. She was interviewed at the age of 8 by DeviKa Rani and Himanshu Rai, for an audition. Having impressed by her performance they put her in the movie Basant. The song was a super hit, after she acted in many films as a child artiste. Â
Under the direction of Kidar Sharma, at the age of 13 Mumtaz was signed as heroine opposite Raj Kumar who done the debue with this movie. It was on this film that producer Devika Rani gave her the name Madhubala, which means, “young maiden made of honey”. After that she acted in 17 movies, even when madhubala was not 17.
Madhubala grew within the studio complex. When her friends went to school she gave shooting for the movie, her father was very possessive about her and he doted on her money.Â
Chemistry with Dilip Kumar
She featured with Dilip Kumar in the film Tarana and their off screen affair too started and it is said that this was one of the legendry tragic love affair.
Madhubala and Dilip Kumar were deep in love, but her father opposed. He did not like the affair, as whole her money, property etc. was under his control. Their affair was at that time took to court also as Madhubala’s father did not allow her to go got location shoots with Dilip Kumar. Since her family was totally against the affair, it ended up on a bitter note. Dilip once told about Madhubala that “I love this woman and shall love her till my dying day.” The affair though, had come to a bitter end.
Her love affairs
Old stalwarts say that her first director Mr Kidar Sharma, who gave her first break was in deeply love with her, but madhubla never reciprocated, he was a married man too. Later film Mahal was made by Kamal Amrohi, they too had a serious love affair. Film Mahal was a super hit due to their serious affair.Amrohi was again a married man,madhubala told him to divorce his first wife, she even offered him lakhs of rupees for that. But he wanted to be devoted to his first wife. She became heart broken and then left him in sway.Â
Madhubala was proposed by three men, Pradeep Kumar, Bharat Bhushan and Kishor Kumar. She selected Kishor.They had a civil marriage and Kishore converted to Islam and was renamed Karim Abdul . His parents refused to attend the wedding and never really accepted Madhubala as they thought she had broken their son’s marriage. When Madhubala went to touch her father in law’s feet they moved away.Â
 Â
She moved back to her bungalow because her inlaws were torturing her. Madhubala realised that she had made a mistake in marrying Kishore; who was ineffective and parsimonious. What a catastrophe!!Â
The Screen divinity
She is considered the most beautiful woman to have ever appeared on the Indian film screen. Her untimely death and tragic romance with Dilip Kumar has superior her to legendary significance. Many journalists have claimed that Madhubala was very immoral, and obsessed many lovers. May be it is the thoughts of these journalists’ conjecture. Madhubala was lively and flirtatious, yet this is no proof of carelessness.

Born in Auckland on July 20, 1919, Hillary led an uneventful life until he achieved his Everest triumph at the age of 33.
New Zealand’s Sir Edmund Hillary, who along with Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay Sherpa became the first to conquer Mount Everest, died in hospital on Friday. He was 88.
New Zealand flags flew at half mast at Scott Base in Antarctica, mourning the loss of one of the greatest adventurers of the 20th century.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister Helen Clark paid tribute to Hillary, calling him a “legendary mountaineer, adventurer, and philanthropist is the best-known New Zealander ever to have lived.”
Hillary scaled the world’s highest mountain in 1953, telling companions after the climb: “We knocked the bastard off”. In 1958, he was one of five to first reach the South Pole by vehicle. The cause of Hillary’s death was not announced, but he had been ill for some time. Radio New Zealand said he died at Auckland City Hospital on Friday morning.
Born in Auckland on July 20, 1919, Hillary led an uneventful life until he achieved his Everest triumph at the age of 33.
Hillary was chosen by British expedition leader John Hunt to make the final assault on Everest because of his experience in the Himalayas and immense energy and strength.
Sherpa Tenzing was chosen as his climbing partner and the two set off on the south peak of the infamous South Col.
Encumbered by clothing and oxygen equipment, they inched ahead until they reached the biggest on the final ridge, a 13 metre rock now known as the Hillary Step.
Hillary “jammed” his way up a narrow crack up the rock using all his strength and then hauled Tenzing up. At 11.30 am they became the first to step onto the Everest summit.

MARKHAM (Illinois): A man faces murder charges for the deaths of his pregnant daughter and her family, crime authorities allege stemmed from his anger over his son-in-law’s failure to secure his permission for the marriage.
Subhash Chander, 57, was being held without bond on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of intentional homicide of an unborn child in connection with the fatal fire on Saturday in the Chicago suburb of Oak Forest.
Chander told police he disliked Rajesh Kumar, his 36-year-old son-in-law because he belonged to a lower caste, said Robert Milan, Cook County’s first assistant state’s attorney.
He allegedly set the fire that killed Kumar, Monika Rani, 22, and their three-year-old son, Vansh, authorities said. Rani was five months pregnant.
Chander was represented by a public defender at a bond hearing on Tuesday, but his name was not immediately available.

वॉशिंगटन : अमेरिका के इलिनॉयस में à¤?क 57 वरà¥?षीय à¤à¤¾à¤°à¤¤à¥€à¤¯ ने अपनी गरà¥?à¤à¤µà¤¤à¥€ बेटी , दामाद और नाती को जिंदा जला दिया। इस वà¥?यकà¥?ति ने अपनी बेटी के ‘ निचली जाति ‘ के वà¥?यकà¥?ति से शादी करने के कारण यह कदम उठाया। सà¥?à¤à¤¾à¤· चंद पर तीन हतà¥?याà¤?ं करने और अजनà¥?मे बचà¥?चे की जान लेने का दोषी ठहराया गया है।
नà¥?यायाधीश मारà¥?टिन ई . मैकडॉफ ने सà¥?à¤à¤¾à¤· को जमानत देने से इनकार कर दिया। पà¥?लिस पà¥?रशासन ने बताया कि वीकेंड में सà¥?à¤à¤¾à¤· चंद ने अपनी बेटी के मकान में आग लगाकर मोनिका रानी (22), राजेश कà¥?मार (36), उनके बेटे वंश (3) को जिंदा जला दिया। रानी पांच माह की गरà¥?à¤à¤µà¤¤à¥€ थी।

बताया जाता है कि हादसे की रात चंद अपने बेटे के लि� पेट�रोल लेने पेट�रोल पंप गया लेकिन बाद में उसने कंटेनर को अपनी बेटी को देने का फैसला किया। बेटी के घर पह�ंचने पर क�मार ने उससे कहा कि देर हो च�की है और वे अपने घर जा�ं।
चंद ने पà¥?लिस को बताया कि कà¥?मार ने उसे धकेलना शà¥?रू कर दिया जिससे पेटà¥?रोल दरवाजे के आसपास गिर गया। इससे उसे गà¥?सà¥?सा आ गया और उसने अपनी जेब से लाइटर निकाल कर वहां बिछे कारपेट में आग लगा दी। चंद ने बताया कि उसने आग लगने की सूचना देने के लिà¤? पà¥?लिस या अगà¥?निशमन विà¤à¤¾à¤— को फोन नहीं किया ना ही यह जानने के लिà¤? अपनी बेटी को फोन किया कि वह और उसका परिवार सà¥?रकà¥?षित है या नहीं।
मिलान ने बताया कि पेटà¥?रोल पंप के à¤?क सहायक ने चंद की पहचान की जो पेटà¥?रोल लेने वहां गया था। पà¥?लिस ने à¤à¥€ पà¥?लासà¥?टिक के पेटà¥?रोल कंटेनर को बरामद कर लिया जिसमें चंद के नाम की परà¥?ची à¤à¥€ लगी थी। पीड़ितों की मौत जहरीली कारà¥?बन मोनोऑकà¥?साइड गैस तथा धà¥?à¤?ं के कारण हà¥?ई। कà¥?क काउंटी के मेडिकल परीकà¥?षक कारà¥?यालय ने इस घटना को नरसंहार बताया है। यह घटना इलाके के à¤?क दो मंजिला अपारà¥?टमेंट के दूसरे तल पर हà¥?ई। इस इलाके में अधिकतर नà¤? कामकाजी अपà¥?रवासी और खासतौर से à¤à¤¾à¤°à¤¤ से आà¤? लोग रहते हैं। आग अपारà¥?टमेंट के अनà¥?य घरों तक à¤à¥€ फैल गई।
अपारà¥?टमेंट में रहने वाले करमजीत सिंह ने बताया , ‘ आग में सब सामान जल गया। मेरे पास केवल यही जैकेट बची है जो मैंने पहन रखी है। मà¥?à¤?े इस घटना पर यकीन नहीं हो रहा है। ‘
