Real Life Hero: Javed

This is just saying thanks to big young boy, a tribute to a boy of real courage. A lesson for all those people who just turn away…it doesn’t concern me. 18 year old Javed happened to be at that Festival in Meerut that fateful night. There was a consumer festival at Meerut about 80 kms from Delhi. Thousand had gathered there for shopping, when a fire broke out in one of the enclosures and within minutes the other two enclosures where in flames too. The kind of material used in the enclosures caused havoc. With just one exit many got trapped in there. About 60 people perished that day and there would have been another half a dozen added to that list but for Javed.

Javed got out unscathed but then he saw this group of children trapped in that inferno. He could have just stood there watching, walked away like many others but he wasn’t any ordinary mortal……he ran back pulled one kid out, the next and the next, 6 kids were out, the fire becoming more dangerous by the second, he went in once again, but luck finally deserted him, a big chunk of the roofing fell on him, by the time he was rescued he had more than 70% burn injuries. He was rushed to a hospital but he died the next morning.

Truly an amazing deed, most will only run from that fire not jump into it, but this guy….man you belong to a rare breed, even though you may have gone but your sacrifice I am sure would be remembered for a long long time. Death doesn’t spare any one but you are lucky one to die like a hero…..you are a real life hero. May your soul rest in peace and your act inspire people to think beyond me and mine.

  • there was one thing i wished to clarify ... the comment i had made on keshi's post abt the prophet .. i hope u read it thoroughly ... coz if u havent , it'd seem like i was insulting Him .. but if u did read it as i have written it , u'll realise that i was just stating a fact .. almost like typing what i had read somewhere ... and no where was i trying to insult Islam .. i have my share of good friends among Muslims .. and we never feel the diff b/w us except on our festival days ...

    And , u r one of the ppl that i value a lot here ....

    yeah indeed it was sad so many ppl died ..incidents like this have taken place in the past too but ppl just refuse to learn......
    ..n those riots in banglore so senseless.....
    ...thnx for praising my attempt...sometimes its fun....


    I had no problems with your q’s ……I don’t think there is any problem with q’s in rt spirit and I feel its better if ppl ask q’s if they have any doubt ..i think there are lot of misconceptions arnd because ppl don’t know the full truth….. Like in every religion so in mine the spirit the essence behind everything is good. But I know there are ppl who do things which are according to religion but against the spirit, now who do u blame…the religion or that person………..and then there are things in every religion which are based on pure faith……..we cannot put everything under the microscope of science and rationality……we all believe in one god….the creator……but has any one seen him or met him noooo but we still don’t question the fact there is someone out there ………
    Personally I am not very religious kind, for me my religion is all about being a good human being and I sincerely strive to be just tht…….
    Anyway give me the spade and lets bury it rt here now………its gone on a bit too long :)
    if u still want too know anything u can have my id n we can discuss there......
    'And , u r one of the ppl that i value a lot here ....' thnx deeps...
