A warm welcome to Mayinkutty

Kannur: It was a home coming to be etched forever in the memory of a village. And, the villagers of Kambil in the district here gave him a jubilant welcome, treating him on par with a hero.
No doubt, K P Mayinkutty, the miraculous survivor of the Mangalore plane crash which snatched the lives of 158 passengers, turned out to be a hero after he reached home following his twoday medical treatment at Mangalore, where he recounted the story of his incredible survival several times over to news channels, relatives and the officials inquiring into the biggest air tragedy in recent times.
Sitting along with his wife Beefathima, daughter Jumana and son Munavar at 'Jumanas' in the nondescript village of Kambil, Mayinkutty had the feeling that he was on the top of the world as he narrated the wonderful story of his survival once again to Express.
Mayinkutty's cellphone continues to ring and his wife and children are attending all the calls.
Air India has offered a job to its most lucky passenger, a face saving measure to regain its fragmented image as an international airliner. "I will consider the Air India offer," said Mayinkutty, who is yet to recover fully from the shock of the tragedy at the Mangalore airport.
