It was a dark Diwali for the Dhamdhere family of Pune last year - Sayali, 22, met with a train accident and lost her legs. But that was then and this is now - thanks to immense help that poured in after mid-day's reports, from politicians and good Samaritans, some from as far as Saudi Arabia and the US, she's standing tall, and walking on her own with the help of artificial feet called stubbies (foreshortened prostheses for bilateral above-knee amputees).
