Shammi Kapoor to help Jaybala create own webpage

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
MUMBAI, November 13: Cash, cards and flowers are not the only things showered on the brave girl Jaybala Ashar, who recently lost her legs as the victim of a mugging in a local train. Very soon the 23-year-old collegian will be able to create her own homepage on the Internet, thanks to actor Shammi Kapoor who will personally train her in Internet usage.

As the chairperson of the Internet Users' Club of India (IUCI) the original `Yahoo' felt that by understanding the Net technology Jaybala could not only share her thoughts with people who may have had similar experiences around the world, she could actually make a career out of it.

``It all depends on Jaybala now, if she wants to know web designing. IUCI and the Bombay Computer Club (BCC) have decided to help veer bala Jaybala in learning about Internet so that she could make her own homepage. It is the thought that is more valuable since what happened to Jaybala in the train was indeed a very unfortunate incident,'' Kapoor toldExpress Newsline onFriday.

The president of the Mumbai Chapter of IUCI, Vijay Mukhi, added that ``though no amount of money or gold in the world can give back Jaybala her legs, it will indeed be nice for her to surf on the superhighways of the Net and let the whole world know about the infinite limits of human endurance in body and spirit.''

There are already over 10,000 IUCI members in Mumbai alone and most of them have already made cash contributions as have others to the most celebrated patient at Nair Hospital. The hospital authorities are having a tough time controlling a near deluge of visitors pouring out their heart and coffers for Jaybala, who has also been offered a job in the railways.
