Her one last wish was to ride a helicopter. A travel aficionado, the 29-year-old is, however, a Thalassemia major patient, a genetic blood disorder that leads to chronic fatigue. Yet, on Sunday, Harshala Kharat finally got her wish, and with the aid of Mihir Shah of The Wishing Factory, she flew on her maiden trip, accompanied by her retired father. Hers was the 51st successful wish fulfilled in Mumbai.
