And eight bogies went over him  — at Kandivali, India The man obviously has a guardian angel and supportive bystanders who told him exactly what he shouldn't do - move. And so, the man lay absolutely still as eight bogies of the train passed over him - centimeters from his head. Within seconds the 12-coach train passed and the man clambered out, unaided, unhurt, but too shocked to speak to us after his near-death experience  — at Kandivali, India, thanks to Mumbai Mirror.

                    LET OUR RESOLVE BE                                              "I will not Complain about anything" Whose fault it is if your eyes sees the thorns instead of roses? Everything will appear scratched,if there is a scratch in the spectacles through which you view life.And remember, you cannot get your life right speaking about what is wrong all the time.
