TO THE WOMEN OF STEEL-A STORY OF RISING AGAINST ALL ODDS
We often hear, people say-Life is not a Bed of Roses and more often than not, our daily struggles of life make us believe this theory. Let me take you through a story, about a woman named Arunima Sinha.
On the
night of 12th April 2011, Arunima Sinha was boarding the night train from
Lucknow and She was not aware that this journey will change her life
completely.
During
her journey in train, A group of robbers entered her coach and started harassing
& threatening all the passengers to steal their money and precious
belongings that they were carrying. When Robbers approached Arunima, she
resisted giving her gold chain and her handbag having ample amount of Cash. In
the struggle that began between Robbers & Arunima, they pushed Arunima out
of the moving train. As she was lying on the railway tracks and was trying to
get herself away from main tracks, she witnessed another train coming. In the
next few seconds before she could get herself totally off the track, the train
passed by and her left leg got crushed over. This whole incidence led to
serious leg injuries and pelvic assaults to her.
In order
to save her life and stopping the toxicity spread to various body parts, the
team of Doctors operating on her, had to ampute her leg. On waking up next day
after operation, Arunima realized her physical disability. Her entire family
was in sadness by this tragic incident. Since her childhood, Arunima had dreamt
to be pioneer mountaineer and hoist the Indian National flag on top most peak
of continent. This incident which must have shattered the dreams and spirit of
any common person did not break Arunima’s spirit.
She
decided to not let her physical disability become a challenge and obstacle in
the pathway of her dreams. In 2011, She went up for training under Bachendri
Pal- The woman who was graced with the accomplishment to be first Indian woman
ever to climb Mount Everest.
Arunima
kept on learning & struggling day and night with her stubborn determination
and never say die spirit. In starting of year 2013, As Arunima began her
journey to reach Mount Everest, many of people around her raised suspicion and
said it is impossible. But in next few months, all of them had to witness the
making of impossible- POSSIBLE. In May 2013, Arunima Sinha became the first
ever Indian Amputee to climb the Mount Everest. She accomplished her childhood
dream and brough India pride by raising the National flag on top most peak of
the continent. Till now, Arunima Sinha has climbed seven peaks and last year, in
January 2019,she completed her final summit of Mount Vinson in Antarctica.
So, this
story which I narrated, is about the valour and Determination of all
"WOMEN OF STEEL". Those who teach us, no calamity & no
circumstances are bigger than power of your Dreams. All the obstacles that come
in our way are a test of God given to us to test our patience, will power and
dedication towards our Goals. What matters most is your spirit to Fight and
Survive against all odds. Nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself. So,
keep on Going and Be the “HERO” that world looks up to..!!!!
