Bengaluru :
High drama unfolded on an IndiGo flight that had taken off from Bengaluru to Kolkata on Saturday when a flyer in his 40s with preexisting health issues developed an emergency. The flight had three doctors on board and they managed to stabilise him and take him safely up to the Kolkata airport.
Dr MM Samim, who was conferred a gold medal just a day earlier during NIMHANS convocation, and his wife Dr Naznin Parvin, a paediatrician, along with a surgeon from MS Ramaiah Hospital saved the flyer’s life.
Man suffered from chronic liver issue
Their timely action also saved a potential diversion of the flight to Bhubaneswar airport and a disruption of weekend travel plans of 200-plus passengers.
The Flight No 6E 503 took off from Terminal 1 of Kempegowda International Airport at 10.42 am, which was late by 20 minutes. It was an hour later that the flyer, who is from West Bengal and works as a labourer in Kerala, developed breathlessness and threw up. He was travelling with his son to get himself admitted to a government hospital in Kolkata for his chronic liver condition.
Harilakshmi Ratan, a retired chartered accountant seated on 1B, told TNSE, “A flyer seated in the middle (Row no. 16) started vomiting blood. One of the cabin staff made an announcement appealing for doctors on board to assist the patient. Three of them stepped forward and saved his life.”
Dr Parvin, who works at a private hospital in Siliguri, said they rushed to the patient. “He was struggling to breathe and was vomiting blood. His BP was low. We gave him oxygen from the cylinder and also administered drips with normal saline, all of which were available on the flight. The vomiting was brought under control immediately. Soon, the oximeter too showed a stable oxygen level (95),” Dr Parvin said.
Dr Samim, who is the recipient of Best Outgoing Resident in Doctor in Medicine (DM) (Neurology) and who also works at a private hospital in Siliguri, said, “Since the patient was not in a good financial position, I decided it would be better if he reaches his hometown. We had stabilised him too.”

Wajid Khan Artist with the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi he made with nails.
Few artists are as passionately obsessed with Mahatma Gandhi as Wajid Khan, whose love and reverence for Gandhi manifest in extraordinary ways through his art. Wajid’s devotion to the Father of the Nation is evident not only in the subjects of his artwork but also in the innovative techniques he uses to create them. Whether by assembling nails, arranging goggles, or using other unconventional materials, Wajid Khan’s portrayal of Gandhi is a testament to his deep admiration.
Wajid Khan a multifaceted artist—a portraitist, sculptor, inventor, and patent holder—known for pushing the boundaries of traditional art. He specializes in creating intricate works of art using unconventional materials such as iron nails, bullets, metal, stones, automobile parts, medical equipment, iron rods, and more. His passion for creativity is boundless, and his art often reflects his deep emotions and thoughts about the world and the figures who have shaped it.
Among his many talents, Wajid’s ability to carve canvases using iron nails has garnered international acclaim. His work has earned him places in prestigious records such as the Guinness Book of World Records, Limca Book of Records, and Asia Book of Records. His artistic prowess is admired from Mumbai to Dubai, captivating both art connoisseurs and the general public with his exceptional nail art.
Although Wajid has made portraits of numerous iconic personalities, including Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Dhirubhai Ambani, and Nelson Mandela, his fascination with Mahatma Gandhi stands out. His first portrait, fittingly, was of Gandhi—a powerful expression of his love and passion for the man who led India to independence. Wajid meticulously used thousands of iron nails to craft this portrait, each nail symbolizing the unwavering dedication and perseverance Gandhi embodied throughout his life.
Wajid’s connection to Gandhi goes beyond artistic inspiration. His admiration for Gandhi stems from the values of patience and truth that Gandhi represented. “There are many qualities in Gandhiji that impressed me deeply,” Wajid shared in an interview. “His power of patience and his commitment to truth are what stand out the most. For me, those who hold onto patience and never lie are truly great individuals.”
One of the moments that left an indelible mark on Wajid was when he visited a museum and saw letters written by Gandhi in which the leader openly admitted his mistakes. “It takes a big heart to admit one’s mistakes in public,” Wajid reflected. “I greatly admire Gandhi’s patience and steadfastness.”
Wajid’s connection to Gandhi also has personal roots. He fondly recalls stories from his grandfather, who would attend Gandhi’s meetings during the freedom movement in India. “My grandfather used to tell us about the time when he was very young and would participate in Gandhi’s meetings. Enthusiastic crowds would gather to listen to Gandhi, and when they returned, they were always calm and composed,” Wajid recounted. The calm demeanor Gandhi inspired in his followers left a profound impact on Wajid, influencing both his life and his art.
In one of his most ambitious projects, Wajid demonstrated the extent of his dedication to honoring Gandhi. He organized an event where 6,000 people were gathered in a stadium, carefully arranged in a formation that created a massive portrait of Gandhi. This live depiction showcased not only Wajid’s artistic genius but also his ability to bring people together to celebrate Gandhi’s legacy.
Wajid Khan’s artistic journey is a remarkable blend of creativity, innovation, and an unyielding devotion to Gandhi’s principles. Through his portraits, sculptures, and inventive techniques, he continues to keep the spirit of Gandhi alive, inspiring others with the same values of patience, truth, and perseverance that Gandhi embodied.

Screengrab of Subhan Khan (wrapped in a scarf) earning massive praise and adulations from people in Telangana
In an extraordinary act of bravery, a man named Subhan Khan from Haryana became a local hero after he single-handedly rescued nine people stranded on a bridge during severe flooding in Telangana. The incident occurred on the Prakash Nagar bridge over the Munneru river in Khammam district, where a sudden rise in water levels left the group helpless.
Despite warnings from others, Khan decided to take matters into his own hands. With the state government unable to reach the site due to adverse weather conditions, Khan drove his bulldozer to the bridge, determined to save the marooned group. Before setting out on the daring mission, he remarked, “If I die, it is one life, but if I return, I will save nine.”
Khan’s courageous efforts paid off as he returned safely with all nine individuals, who were greeted with loud cheers from the onlookers. His daughter, who captured the moment on video, expressed her relief and pride, saying, “I am shivering, my daddy, he managed to do what he set out to.”
The heroic act quickly garnered widespread attention, with many praising Khan’s selflessness and courage. Among those who congratulated him was KT Rama Rao (KTR), a prominent opposition leader and former minister. In a post on social media platform X, KTR expressed his admiration, stating, “You, my brother Subhan Khan, have saved so many families from a life-long pain by helping these nine people. Salute to your big heart and amazing grit!”, reported NDTV.
KTR further added that he intends to meet Khan in person upon his return to Telangana, acknowledging that Khan’s bravery had saved the lives of those stranded and spared their families from immense grief.
Subhan Khan’s story serves as a powerful reminder that true heroism lies in the willingness to risk one’s life for the sake of others, a quality that has now earned him widespread respect and gratitude across the region.

Affan Abdul Aziz Momin, son of a paan shop owner from the slums of Zaitoonpura here, has achieved what many dream of but few attain – admission to IIT Kanpur, one of India’s top engineering institutes. His journey, marked by immense perseverance and sacrifice, saw him rise from humble beginnings in an Urdu medium school to earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Today, Affan serves as a Control Engineer at Vestas Wind Technology, a multinational leader in wind turbine manufacturing, showcasing that hard work and dedication can indeed turn dreams into reality.
Affan Momin with his parents
Affan’s path to success was not easy. Financial difficulties threatened to derail his education on more than one occasion. When he secured admission to Defense Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) in Pune, his family couldn’t afford fees.
It was then that his sisters made the ultimate sacrifice, selling their cherished jewelry to ensure that their brother’s dreams did not go unfulfilled. This act of selflessness kept Affan’s aspirations alive, allowing him to continue his studies and eventually secure a place at IIT Kanpur.
Even after securing a spot at IIT Kanpur, the financial strain persisted. The family’s resources were stretched thin, and Affan feared his dreams might remain unrealized.
However, the kindness of his BE professor, Dr. Rahul Makade, who paid his admission fees, proved that humanity and compassion transcend all barriers. This support, combined with the monthly stipend Affan received from the government, enabled him to focus on his studies without the burden of financial worries, paving the way for his eventual success.
Affan’s journey is a beacon of hope for the community, illustrating that perseverance, faith, and the support of loved ones can overcome even the most daunting challenges. He encourages others to never give up on education, no matter the difficulties, as help will always come to those who strive sincerely. His story is a reminder that every obstacle can lead to greater success, and that with determination and the right support, even the most improbable dreams can come true.
