Haridwar/Lucknow, June 20: Akash and his three friends watched in horror as a rain swollen river in Uttarakhand washed away their car, leaving them stranded.
On their return to Haridwar, they said they escaped the nature's fury by taking shelter at a private helipad.
All four feel they have had a second birth. At one time, they had given up all hopes of surviving the rampaging floods in Uttarakhand that have claimed over 100 lives and affected thousands.
