Fireman in Tirupati takes over flight control Tirupati airport totally relies on air traffic controllers to give pilots weather information and landing clearance. In February 2012, the air traffic controller failed to show up, and the airport Manager directed airport fireman, Mr. Basha to take over the radio at the control tower. Basha was untrained for this work nor was he fluent in English. Still he gave adequate support information for the airplane to land safely.3. Man inhales live fish into lungs Anil Barela aged 12 from Khargone District of Madhya Pradesh swallowed a 3.5 inch live fish. Probably on being encouraged by his friends, he went ahead with this dangerous feat. Things took a turn for the worst when the fish instead of smoothly sailing into his stomach took a diversion into his windpipe and stuck there. He later reported difficulty in breathing and was admitted to a local hospital. With his oxygen levels plummeting, he had to undergo a 45-minute procedure to remove the fish. Amazingly though, on bronchoscopy, the fish was found still alive and taking its last breath. 4. Shanti DeviIn 1930s, at the age of four, Shanti Devi of Delhi told her parents that she once lived in a place called Mathura and that she had been a mother of three. She claimed she died during childbirth, and recalled her previous name to be Ludgi. Because of the girl's persistence with her story, her parents started investigating. It turned out in Mathura a woman named Ludgi had recently died. They took Shanti to that village where she began to speak the local dialect and recognized her previous-life husband and children. The case was brought to the attention of Mahatma Gandhi who set up a commission to investigate and a report was published in 1936. She gave 24 accurate statements matching confirmed facts about Ludgi's life. Incarnation? The jury is still out.5. Boy finds his mother in India through Google Earth Saroo Brierley got separated from his family during a train journey at the age of 5.

As he grew up abroad, he always had the insatiate curiosity to meet his parents by birth. With no name of his town to search for, he painstakingly started searching Google Earth to find his hometown. After hours of probing with nothing but the faint mental images of his neighborhood, he zeroed in on a placed called Ganesh Talai in Khandwa (Madhya Pardesh). After reaching there and a couple of enquiries later, he stood before his mother after 25 years.
