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.

The British in 1929 opened Delhi Flying Club to Indians and not many joined the Club. One of the student was P.D. Sharma, Sarla’s husband. After he became a full fledged Pilot, Sharma and Sarla got married.Sarla was 16 at that time.
But instead of giving kitchen as endowment to his wife, as a normal Indian husband, he convinced her to join Flying Club. You are talking about 1936, when you were fictional about women becoming pilot, they don’t expect the women to go out the kitchen. I mean it is a men’s world all the time, there are husbands who do not like their wives even to drive their personal car, it was awe-inspiring on the side of Cap. Sharma who persuaded his wife to join the Aviation Flying Club—standing ovation to him.
[polaroid=17,320,240]
Sarla had taken only 9 hours of flying lessons, but she was successful in ingoing the cockpit of a Gypsy Moth and flew into the blue skies, and made a history as India’s first lady pilot in the year 1936. That’s why Sarla Thakral’s accomplishment had got no more analogs. There was no barricade for Sarla from accepting that unaccompanied flight. She is so dashing and courageous, at a time when the flying was like dream, flying in air was like phenomenon.
On that point comprised entirely a fistful of manly pilots in India. For women, of course aviating constituted ludicrous.” I used to hand over my chunni to my flying aide before I sat in the cockpit. One day Rai Bahadur Roop Chand who later went on to become the Indian ambassador to America, told my husband to scolded me and told me not to be such a be-sharam and that I should not take off my chunni while flying,” she says with an express amusement.
In those days she could take flying lessons for Rs. 30 an hour. ” Learning flying was cheap because not many wanted to risk their life. Sarla obtained her ‘A’ license when she accrued over 1000 hours of flying.
Sarla was now gearing up herself to apply for the group B license that would permit her to fly as a commercial pilot, but the destiny did not cooperate, the Jodhpur club closed down soon afterwards with the outbreak of World War ll.
To append supplementary catastrophe, she was widowed at the tender age of 24.Her husband died in a crash. She had a four year old daughter too. Her parents got her re-married. But her new husband too very cooperating and did not stand up in his wife’s way of evolution. He took his wives interests also in view.her previous husbands’ bereavement ruined her. She did not want to become a pilot any more. Sarla abandoned her plans to adapt a commercial pilot and divulged into various fields much in advanced at that time. She joined the Mayo School of Arts in Lahore. Along with paintings she also began designing clothes and costume jewelery.
She had also started textile printing and her sari prints were a frenzy with the designer mass and one of the clients was Vijaylaxmi Pandit.Sarla Thakral is 91 years old young lady still flying high in her life.
She had later shifted to Delhi and now she stay put in Bengali market, a place where only the privileged lives. She supplied her jewellery designs to several cottage industries for over 20 years.
Sarla was in recent times honoured for being the oldest yet the fittest person in her neighbourhood. She is 90+ now. Women of today should take the epitomize life of this prototypical lady who had a dynamism and energy other than the far side that of the kitchen and office and attending the cockpit flying high; I salute the first lady pilot.
Sarla Thakral is all the same flourishing and thriving till date. May God make her more hale and hearty and prosperous life, she is a superwoman indeed, because success is being able to spend your life your own way.

- Too much chewing gum habit can cause harsh illness and weight loss, researchers has warned. Doctors in UK found that two patients who suffered diarrhea, malnutrition and weight loss chewed up to 20 sticks of gum a day containing sorbitol, an artificial sweetener and mild laxative used in many sugar-free gums.
The man and a woman, whose cases are reported in the British Medical Journal, underwent several tests before doctors established how much gum they consumed.The woman chewed about 14 sticks of gum a day. She had lost 1 stone 10lbs when she was admitted after suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pains for eight months.
- The man was admitted to hospital after losing 3 stone 6lbs in a year. After medical tests failed to establish the cause of his weight loss it was discovered that he was eating around 20 sticks of gum a day and a bag of sugar-free sweets every day.
- Both recovered after they stopped eating foods containing sorbitol. Dr Juergen Bauditz, from the Charité University Hospital in Berlin, said: “Sugar-free or low sugar foods are increasingly eaten by people without diabetes because they are low in calories and are less likely to cause tooth decay. “As possible side effects are usually found only within the small print on foods containing sorbitol, consumers may be unaware of its laxative effects.”
- The gastroenterologist warned that while chewing gum has its positive effects, but like everything else, people should use it in moderation. “Gum is good for cleaning teeth and it protects teeth from acidity,”
- The after effects of sorbitol
**Sorbitol occurs naturally in a wide variety of fruits and berries including pears, cherries, dates, apricots, peaches and apples. **
**It is documented in medical literature, with studies going back to 20 years, that excessive consumption of sorbitol, can have a laxative effect in some individuals, drug firms say.
Sorbitol is also used as a sweetener in many sugar-free foods and drug products. **

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.

- Humans have five basic senses, to interact with the outside world, which are hearing, smell, sight, taste, and touch. A lot people seem to have a sixth sense (psychic sense). This (sixth sense) aids people to feel truth on the far side the sphere of five gages, and have arrogated to forecast the future tense, feel spirits and interpret other people brain.
- Extrasensory perception or telepathy brings up to mind-to-mind communication. Extrasensory perception is the power to see things not accessible by cognised sensations. Foreknowledge is the power to envision next results, retrocognition is the force to see yesteryear results and psychometrics is that branch of psychology dealing with the measurement of mental traits, capacities and process and the power to know the chronicle of an target.
- Every human has went through sixth sense at roughly point or other during his or her lifetimes. The stage changes from case-by-case to individual. It is still not known how the sixth sense runs, and it is not linked with any of the body organs. This leads to the conclusion that the formula is exclusively moral affecting human soul or the subconscious mind .
- A lot of investigators refer sixth sense to be an inherent aptitude. Animals and the insects use it all the time. The spontaneous human mind wants experimental grounds for all the traits. Further, the experimental grounds is not detached from other five senses.
- There are lot of instances, like radio waves, where we cannot comprehend things with our five senses. Certain high frequency sounds are there, which merely the dogs can hear.
- There are number of testifies, where the dogs have discouraged their masters of about expected mishappening. Many animals get nervous before an earthquake is to occur. This may be assigned either to their sixth sense or trembling sensory powers, more sensitive than humans.
- It has been reported that the animals’ “sixth sense” saved them from recent tsunami disaster The waves washed floodwaters upto two miles inland biggest wildlife reserve of Srilanka, hosting hundreds of wild elephants and leopards, but not a single body of any animal was found. There are many reports of birds detecting approaching disasters.
- Various stories are linked with sixth sense. Abraham Lincoln is said to have dreamt of his death, days before he was assassinated. A completely blind Britisher has been shown to possess “sixth sense” which enables him to recognise emotions on people’s faces. Brain scans of the blind person revealed that when the man looked at faces depicting emotion, it activated a part of his brain called the right corpus amygdaloideum, which responds to non-verbal affectional signs.
- The research to prove the existence of sixth sense is going on. For substantiation, the incident must be measurable and quotable. The more the person accomplishments to use his sixth sense, the less it seems to work.
- All the medical explanations have betrayed for near death experiences. “Cyber sense” has already came forth as a unforceful link between the five senses and the sixth sense. The inquest on sixth sense will lay concrete on the way for facts and decisions associated with this unlogical sense

Men of science ascertain crying by sad movies as physic action brought on by empathy.
- Ever thought why we cry at the movies?  Maybe it is the movie or the mental luggage we gained with us. Or is it compassion or you-are-so-busted guilty conscience? Maybe, genetic science or social training.
- This overmuch we do know-it-all of us do it in changing levels of blubbitude, which is culturally real.
 
Myths
• Women cry to a higher degree men. Women go steady of their way to find “biddy click†cry-athons.
- • boys and girls do equal measures of crying until pubescence.
• But later, women cry more than men — four times as much because of empathy.
- Whatsoever, what really activates the waterworks, is a combination of infringed emotions.
- Facts
- Waterworks
- • There are three kinds of tears:
- Primary: The tears that keep the eyes damp. Without them, eye blink would feel like sand itching our eyes. We produce between five and ten ounces a day.
- Automatic: The tears that come from cutting down onions, or with a finger in the eye.
- Affectional: The tears we unload when watching Old Yeller. They are the only tears that chase away toxins.
• Women produce 60 per cent more lactogenic hormone — the same hormone used in breast-feeding — in their tears than men.
- • Crying is laborious in space — gravitation effects.
- .
• Human beings are the only beasts known to cry, not numbering Walt Disney cartoons.
- • Tears contain mucous, water and oil.
• Our noses run when crying because tears drain into the lachrymal ducts inside our eyes and into the nasal cavity.
Moved by a movie? Here are some of the reactions when asked by BestDesi.com
Movies do make me cry. However, if the movie is annoyingly sad, I just get up and leave. It’s OK if it’s meaningfully sad. I cry because I feel for the person or situation in question, not because I want to release my emotions. Also, I don’t carry the emotions with me for long after, though some scenes and dialogues live on, is what an Indian said
Most men don’t cry at movies, and it is brainless to cry as the filmmaker has minted lots of money by making the movie and only a unintelligent will cry seeing that, enjoy the movie and be cool,says a British national.
The end result:
• But whatsoever we are doing, we for sure are faking a individual attachment with a specific movie that we’ll never lose.Â
