Extract :
That night, around 2:30 a.m., we were abruptly awakened by blaring sirens and announcements on the hotel’s PA system, urging immediate evacuation.
“This is an evacuation warning.”
“This is not a drill.”
“Please evacuate the hotel immediately.”
“We made our way through the corridor, down the fire escape, and into the open car parking space facing Bath Road. I could see hundreds of people around me, who had also just evacuated the hotel, some running out in their nightgowns and some naked, as the splitting sound of the loud horn pulsated in my ears.” "On that damp, cold night in London, we all stood helpless in the middle of the night in the left and right car parking areas. After a brief period, we saw the bomb squads and London Police, come rushing in with the fire engines blaring.”
“Few of us travelled to Canada, and attended the trial. We were seated, in an area barely 15 feet away from where Malik and Bagri sat, during the trial and for days, we sat there watching the killers of our families.”
“I will never forget the expressions on the faces of those two criminals, smirking, knowing that they were responsible, for the murder of my family and all 331 innocent souls on board that ill-fated Air India Flight 182. Throughout the trial, they sat with smirks on their faces, seemingly triumphant, while looking at the crowd and the families of the victims.”
“My family just died again,” “They killed 331 people once more,” and “This was the gravest injustice inflicted upon the victims of the Air India bombing!”
As CBC News reported : But Sanjay Lazar had no trouble summing up how they felt in one, biting sentence.”
“Today, once again, 20 years on,” he said, “we have lost our families all over again - this time, to the Canadian justice system.

The most heartbreaking yet inspiring book that I've read this month was " On Angles wings" . It describes the true story of the author who lost his family on June 23 , 1985 because of an air strike.
The book revolves around the tragic air strike , its after effects on people and the author dealt with the loss of his family all at once. It further explores how he went through almost all his for the justice by fighting with law . His journey is an inspiration for everyone as everyone is dealing with something they don't talk about.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone to at least read it once . It talks about grief , loss of loved ones , hope , strength to deal with heartbreak.

Just finished reading On Angels 😇 Wings by Sanjay.Lazar .
This is book 1 of the trilogy .
It definitely can’t be easy to pen down memories of your loved ones in such a detailed manner after 38 years of loosing them in such tragic circumstances.
The reader can actually feel the gamut of the emotional turmoil in the authors life .
Starting off young in an unknown industry even if you know people can be very daunting.To survive the pain thus far and look for hope and survive on that and fight for a cause for others and ones deceased family is truly commendable which requires lots of strength ,faith ,courage ,commitment and guts .This is the story of Sanjay .Lazar .
I also admire the author for taking on the law degree in challenging times and as he says in the book, that he doesn’t want people to be wrongly advised as he was ,in certain situations during his life .
And hence he’s there to advice people who need it so that they don’t make the mistakes he did .
Sanjay also addresses the levels that relatives will go to to to grab property that doesn’t rightfully belongs to them in these unimaginable circumstances hence a reader may find many things that they may relate to in the book .
I think when a tragic incident like the explosion of Air India flight 182 happened ,it didn’t matter whether you knew the people on board .What kicks in is the human instinct to empathise towards all ( known or unknown) and that’s what I felt while reading the book so many years on …
The author amongst other issues has highlighted the downside of not knowing about inheritance and succession law and hence due to the other legal challenges he has faced he decided to study further so that he can advise others about the pitfalls of not knowing the legal aspect and also how family can turn sides when money is involved.Rightly said people will come out of their graves to inherit .
The book is about the authors personal loss ,hope ,the fight for justice denied , a bungled criminal investigation amongst other underlying issues . The first part of the trilogy traces through the author’s childhood, the Air India flight 182 explosion,his role as cabin crew and being part of the union in Air India and how this unfortunate incident of the bombing shaped and changed his life forever .
Thank you for writing this book .I think you are a very strong courageous and resilient human being to be able to do this .Despite so many years down the line I’m sure the pain will never go away .
However writing about it and letting people become more aware about this tragedy and how you and many have survived thus far only to be able to tell the story ,may be a bit of a fitting tribute to all the angels 😇 in heaven who lost their lives in this senseless act of aviation terror .
If you were amongst the first 100 to have ordered the book you get a signed copy by the author .Thank you Sanjay .Lazar for my signed copy of the book .I am eagerly looking forward to reading the second book ( The Blood of Angels )as and when it is published .
The reader is left with many questions to ponder over :
What if the nationality of the departed souls on the ILL fated flight was different?
What did the innocent victims have to do with politics and power to suffer this fate and many more ….
This true story is a must read .

On Angels Wings written by Sanjay Lazar is the first book of a trilogy which gives a true and detailed account of the bombing of Air India Aircraft in the year 1985. The author lost his family and friends in this heinous act of terrorism. This is the story of that crime and how the victims never got their due justice. In addition to that, this is the story of the resilience and courage shown by the author throughout his life.
The book recounts the life of the author and his family, the brief account of the incident which shocked the entire world and how the young author dealt with the grief and despite all the odds through his grit and determination became a successful and complete individual whose life story is motivating and inspiring.
The author has done painstaking research in bringing this first book of the trilogy which is evident in its detailed account. The readers would learn a lot of things about the aviation industry in India, how Air India functioned, and how the author played an important part in the administrative affairs of the cabin crew union, among other things.
As the author has told in the book, the next instalment will deal with the tragedy and give a detailed account of how it was treated by the international community and how the perpetrators were able to remain scot-free for a long period. I am looking forward to reading the next instalment of the trilogy.

Very Deep Heart touching Memoir
On June 23, 1985, when Kanishka Aircraft was bombed and passengers went missing, not only many families were impacted but also their lives were shattered.
I had to stop reading this novel so many times as I could feel the pain and agony of the author, it's one novel that is etched in history now because of not only the way the Author portrays the grief and loss, but also instills optimism, courage and inspiration in the readers. The story narrates how the incident has made the Author so strong and positive even after this terrible incident. As a pilot, Lawyer, and a responsible citizen the contributions of the Author are tremendous not only to the Aerospace Industry but to the complete society for bringing such hard facts to light of the public.
Misfortune and struggles have always been with the Author starting from losing his younger brother to his entire family but none of this has deterred his confidence which needs a salute.
