Gear deployed normally but nosewheel couldn't be steered.

Was declared an emergency and there were fireengines and ambulances at Cochin.

Came to a halt within the usual landing run and was then towed to a parking bay.

Engineers worked on it for 2 hours and then proceeded to Goa and then onto Kuwait.

Best part was it was only 1.17 mins late on the return leg.
