5. Staff emerge as heroes in Mumbai hotel siege: I am sure all of you would have heard about the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. This is a story reported by Reuters which talks about the courage of ordinary men and women who risked their own lives to save the life of others.
I am from Delhi myself and yeah I have experienced all of that myself. Except for the butter. I am not sure about the butter.

Its a hilarious account and very well written.
