The quiet neighbourhood of Ghatkopar, where Captain Smit Machchhar grew up, turned into a gathering point of pride and anxiety on Thursday, as friends and neighbours rallied outside his Mumbai residence after the Indian pilot was injured in cockpit attack aboard a Flydubai flight.At Swastik Heights in Ghatkopar, where Machchhar’s parents still maintain their home, residents assembled carrying the Tricolour and photographs of the pilot. For many of them, the incident involving the Flydubai flight was difficult to separate from memories of the boy they had seen growing up in their midst. Ghatkopar residents say for them, Machchhar remains the composed youngster they knew from their housing society.
