The desire to do well in her Marathi exam is what put 8-year-old Haziqa Ansari in harm's way. The Std II student of St Joseph's School, Madanpura, is currently battling for life at Nair hospital, after a frying pan fell on her head from one of the flats in the 22-storey building Danish Villa, cracking her skull on Friday morning. Doctors have given her a bleak prognosis. The impact of her injury has led doctors to believe that the pan could have fallen from the height of around 100 feet (around 10 or 12 storeys high).
