He was not supposed to live. Consider this, someone fell 60 feet below earth and still didn't get hurt. That requires luck right? Now consider that someone fell through a hole that is only 1 feet wide. Still people could hear his cry for help. That again requires pretty good luck. And finally that special someone was rescued after around 50 hours. Luck again. And now if I tell you that the someone was only 5 years old, would you believe it? But it's true. Yesterday all of our family members were glued to the tv set as zee news has been showing live telecast of an unbelievable rescue. And guess what's his name? prince it was. And when he was rescued finally, the day was his birthday. A rebirth huh.

No body knows his name until the day before yesterday. He was playing with his friends and then fell 60 feet below the earth through a well. Construction workers had left the bore well, close to the village well, uncovered on Friday before the boy went to play in the area, locals say.

When he slipped in he slithered down the narrow shaft, managing to escape serious injury. The bottom of the well is dry. One effort simply to pull him out failed because the shaft is not wide enough. Oxygen were pumped in through the narrow channel and he was also fed milk and chocolates. Operation was slowed down because of concerns that the sandy soil could be dislodged in the final stages of the operation, putting the boy's life at risk. Villagers first realised something was wrong when they heard his cries on Friday. Soldiers dug a parallel shaft and reached the boy late on Sunday.

After he emerged into daylight, the boy was carried through the crowds of people who had gathered to see him and reunited with his family. Looking tired and confused the little boy had little idea his fate had captivated the nation.Thousands of people have been sending messages to TV stations, wishing luck to the rescuers. "Ever since I saw him on your channel yesterday, I have been crying. I can't think of anything else. He is a brave child, I would not have survived if I was in his place," a caller to Zee News, Shashi Jain, said. Prayers were said around the country among all religions. And finally he was rescued. Good luck kid for the rest of your life.
