PAN AM Flight 73 - Another Perspective
by: Purnima Subhash Hardikar

[priii]

How could u say she was normal as like any other air hostess..1st she informed pilot .2nd she hid American's passports. 3 She saved 3 kids. Ms Purnima keep ur bravery with u..fr me u ran away jst to save urself life..n Neerja who could run away easily bt she din't.. she saved her passengers till her last breath..

[ashitkumarghosh]

Mrs. Hardikar proudly said how she flung away with her purse, not even looking back at the man who took her out of the plane.
Also, Miss Neerja was just as normal as any other air-hostess, only making the required announcements.
Do you think, madam, had this 'normal' air hostess not given the hijack codes to the pilot in the mean time, you could be boasting about this today?
Do you think, had this 'normal' air hostess not hid the passports of the American passengers with her wit, you could ever return to your husband in America?
And about being served with food or water, the movie further cased Neerja's wit as she handed the emergency exit instructions pamphlet to the guy sitting near the exit. The subject here is her plan to save the fellow lives, and not serving food or water, which some posh people think they do deserve always - to be served. And fyi, madame, that 'kala-dhaga' with which your nose was mended, probably was a sterilized medical thread the doctors usually use for suturing. You obviously couldn't expect intensive critical care for mending your nose at a place where the lives of hundreds of men were at stake.
Now, this 'normal' could easily save her life first, and she need not even think about her purse. But she didn't. She carried her duty, primarily as a purser, and in a broader aspect, as a HUMAN, to save humanity. She could have cared about her purse or her life, but she faced the task infront of her with a brave heart, she took the 359, oops - 379 innocent lives more seriously than her own.
No madame, I don't want to question you, and neither do I disrespect you. Kudos to your bravery, you survived the terrible attack, you came out of living hell. You have done that very normal thing any other human being would have done, or perhaps, what all the other passengers and flight attendants had done in the situation.

I only approve to the point that it stung my heart when you said that Neerja was just as any other normal air hostess. Had she been normal, so many courage and bravery awards wouldn't have her name inscribed on them. Or, maybe, those awards could bear the names of all the 379 people who had been hijacked, had Miss Neerja been a part of the normal, trying to save their own lives or in a worse scenario, luggages.
The world doesn't reward normalcy, if you might know.
She deserves this least respect not to be simply disregarded.

Also I am awestruck at how the video claims itself to be what it's title suggest.
WHAT IS THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE? How to prove yourself a true Indian by saving your purse, or maybe the 'achar ka dibba', instead of your fellow co-passenger who just took you out from the clutches of dealth?

You lived!! keep your purse.
She put her life before others.
She was someone's daughter.
Honour her.

[AnkitKSingh]

You didnt see doesnt mean Neerja did nothing.. Do not disrespect her publically..She saved many lives and you saved only yours..

[femiqueen]

Neerja saved so many lives.
She was not ordinary.
She was special

[praisepraise]

Aunty you jumped from plane with laddoo box and purse, so how you know that Neerja didn't do anything? Neerja big salute to you

[reyajnabhujel]

She is so proud of herself for saving her own life and her purse.Mam this was the difference between you and Neerja.She could have done the same thing as you did but she chose to save other lives.Everyone just cannot think like her it takes a hell lot of courage to do what she did.Mam you could have atleast saved one life instead of your purse.Really sad!

Moral: Har US m rehne wala Indian samjhdaar Nahi hota....

[noblestride]

This lady jumped out with her “purse”... complains “food” was not not a single word of “Thank You” .... no wonder craps get filtered out and the Angels are taken away. Respect and prayers to the brave souls... brave Neerja will always be in my heart. Thank you ...

[Debidutta]

The family is totally insane!! Really that lady is proud of her sister bcoz she jumped off the plane with her hand luggages!!

[dishservedcold]

Purnima’s account sounds so selfish all the way. At one instance her sister mentions that “Purnima was so brave that she jumped from the second floor and she had her wits about her so that she jumped with her bag”. Is this your idea of bravery? Mrs Purnima was only trying to save her neck and her purse which makes her look so materialistic to me. At a time of crisis people give value to their own lives and possessions and that’s ordinarily human. When faced with a situation where one option is taking a Bullet and the other is to jump from the plane anyone will choose to jump where the harm is lesser. It’s the human survival instinct and not astute bravery.

[amitasharma]

She might be an ordinary like any other airhotess but she had courage to open d door....n saved d three n other passengers too.... Grand salute to Neerja ...

[ritujadhav]

She showing how she brave jump with her batwa to save her own life..i think she jealous to Brave Neerja ..hope her mad family give award on her family function. .

[pravinbhamare]

She did not say a single line for neerja... Shame

[shahzain]

Heroes are born not made.
This lady Neerja from India was a lion hearted lady whom every Pakistani will salute.
Lot of Respect to her.

[mamtaawana]

apni jaan toh Jaanwar bhi bacha lete h... dusro ki jaan bachane wala hi asli INSAAN hota h ... And Neerja Bhanot was a real Human ❤️

[ayataksheechatterjee]

Mrs Hardikar really congratulations to you that you saved yourself and proud of that its not bad to be proud of yourself and also your bravery but you just cannot degrade the bravery of our international pride Ms Neerja Bhanot, the heroine of the hijacking

[purnimapandeysaxena]

Madam! Tbhi to Neerja received bravery award along with few other awards n titles from other countries as well.... aapki tarah lagguage k sath nhi jump kiya tha na usne isliye...

[nityaiyer]

Shame on this selfish family neerja mam saved so many lives, even she had a family too if she would have been selfish no one would have been saved, learn to acknowledge and be grateful that ur alive because of someone who saved you as she is an extraordinary angel Jai Hind!!

[astralis]

Saving your life and saving other's life when sacrificing yourself is different. Mam please stop disrespecting someone who was the reason that your possible death was delayed. So please maintain the required decorum and stop flaunting your selfishness as bravery.
