It is a fact, one who has to survive will do so against any odds, like this baby boy. As per the Times of India, thirty-two-year-old Rinky and Bhola (34) boarded the S2 compartment of the Up Tata Chhapra Express from Tatanagar along with their two year old daughter Muskaan on Tuesday night. Rinky was at the end of her pregnancy and Bhola, a native of Orissa’s Sundergarh, wanted to get her admitted to a hospital in Sapur near Chhapra, where he works as a contractor.

When the train neared Gamariah station around 10.30pm, Rinky went to the loo. She delivered the child while squatting in the toilet. Before she could realize what had happened, the little figure had slipped from the birth canal and through the toilet. Rinky rushed out in panic, opened the door of the compartment and flung herself out.

Meanwhile Bhola was unaware of the proceedings. When someone pulled the chain thinking that Rinky wanted to commit suicide than he realised that something was amiss. Not finding Rinky in any Toilet he joined in the search operation. In the dark, they saw Rinku sitting beside the tracks clutching her newborn son.

Miraculously they were both alive and suffered minor injuries. When the train reached Purulia at 12.25am, a medical team was ready. Rinku and the child were examined by the doctor and sent to a hospital. “This was a miracle. I have never seen anything like this in years of service,” said station manager Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. Doctors at Deben Mahato Sadar Hospital were no less amazed. They could not believe that the child and his mother had survived falls from a speeding train.

“Both are in good health. We shall keep them under observation for 24 hours. If no complications arise, they will be released,” said Dr Swapan Sarkar, hospital superintendent.

Little Muskaan is being taken care of by the hospital staff. As for Bhola, he is on cloud nine. “I still cannot believe it. When I realized Rinku had jumped out of the train, I gave up all hope of seeing her alive. I can only thank god for keeping my family intact, with a bonus,” he said.’

Truly said Miracles do take Place in this world only.
