I'm a member of Indiamike.com, a travel assistance site covering locations in India. When I was searching options for my visit to Kashmir in Jan 2009, I came across this site - Its a wonderful site and has helped me fix my forthcoming trek planned in Sep '09.
I saw a post in the forum which is worth to be blogged. A person of German Origin had booked tickets to go to Bagdogra (further planned to go to Sikkim) and promised to call his family once reaching Delhi. He planned his visit to India to watch the solar eclipse and was planning his return too. As he did not get in touch with his family till date, they got suspicious and had posted in Indiamike.com. There were immediate responses from various members, and specifically, a member, Ronit found out that he had infact travelled from Delhi to Bagdogra thereby confirming that he infact had reached India.
As his return was planned just two days since the thread was started, it was decided that they would wait for him to appear for the return flight and then look out for him.. Finally he landed up at the airport late for the flight and had to be booked in another flight when he did not have money.
Just go through this link and feel how it would have been for the family. I had anxiously followed this thread to know the whereabouts of the person.

Arun,
Thanks for updating us about this. This is interesting and I hope media also picks it up and appreciates Ronit's unselfish act.
Cheers,
Salil
