When ordinary people do extraordinary things, real life superheroes are born.

A lot of times, a lot of people die because of the unavailability of required resources when it's needed. And while it is safe to say that we're heading towards a progressive world, it's a shame that we are still losing so many lives to inadequacy.

But sometimes, the unconventional acts of conventional people give hope and faith. Case in point: an Indian doctor who saved the life of an air hostess, somewhere mid-air. Anchita Pandoh, a doctor by profession was on board MH130 of Malaysian Airlines when an air hostess became unconscious. As her husband explained the case in a Facebook post-

''It was surely a case of emergency.''

Anchita quickly volunteered to help the girl and it is because of her efforts that the patient started to respond and remained calm until the flight landed safely.

#MedicalEmergencyInAir! On board #MalaysiaAirlines flight #MH130 from Auckland to Kuala Lumpur, barely one hour after take off from Auckland, we were having our lunch. Suddenly I saw an air hostess rushing to the front compartment of flight with an oxygen cylinder.

It was surely a case of medical emergency. Soon we heard the captain asking for any Doctors in the flight. The only person on the flight who promptly responded to this call was my wife Dr Anchita.

We rushed to the front compartment and found that an air hostess had fallen unconscious and other flight attendants were trying to help her. Anchita took charge of the situation. Flight crew provided her medical equipment available in the flight.

I was worried if the patient didn't recover then flight would be forced into an emergency landing. Going by the location of flight, touching Australia would have taken two hours and returning Auckland would have taken one hour.

However, with Anchita's efforts, the patient started responding and she opened her eyes. Seeing this all passengers started clapping and cheering. Later the captain came to our seat and thanked her profusely.

I felt so proud of my wife.
