THE JOURNEY OF MY LIFE:
FROM EARTH TO EVEREST THAT IS OVERWHELMED STORY.
Arunima Sinha was a national level volleyball player. When she was caG travelling on a train, some thugs tried to snatch her golden chain. She fought back but was thrown out of the speeding train, and lost her left leg. This happened when she was 24. However this accident never affected her spirit. At All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi an artificial leg was fitted. A year later, she was retrained as a mountaineer and became the first female with an artificial leg to scale Mt. Everest. This is her unforgettable story of hope, courage and inspiration. Let's read four scenes of her life, narrated in her own words Scene 1 I had started dozing. I remember someone saying that Bareilly would come after some time.
I was in deep thought when I felt a hand
tugging at my gold chain. A girl's sixth sense is always her best companion. I
instinctively opened my eyes and saw four or five young men around me. I stood
up in a flash to tell them that I had no intentions of parting with my chain.
So they came together at me Even though the compartment was full, none of my
fellow passengers got up to even inquire what was happening -forget about their
coming to my rescue. I had no option but to take them on. So I caught a youth
who was trying to size me up and more above, by his collar and pushed him back.
I kicked a couple of others. An exceptional battle had begun inside the train
on the move.
The wolves made another attempt to snatch my
chain. Still I resisted until one of them driven by a frenzy gave me an extra and
more hard kick on my body, using all his force. Off balance, I could not
recover in time.Iliterally flew out of the train, still holding my
mobile phone. I was mid-airwhen flew right into another train moving on the
next track. My body hit the moving steel and rebounded to mhat train. This ping
pong must have continued for several seconds before gravitational force pulled
me out Despite my efforts, my left leg fell on the track Ghatchch .... That was
the sound of my leg getting chopped. There was no one to hear my intense scream
lay motionless for a while, watching the network tail of the train until it was
dimmed and faded into darkness oxygen Then I fainted Scene 2 was admitted to
AIIMS, Delhi, on the intervention of the PM. The union government would bear
the entire cost of my treatment.
Soon AIIMS began issuing daily medical
bulletin on my status. I was told tha young people, auto drivers and road side
vendors were carrying out candle to galvanize support and to pray for my
recovery. With the help of the best technology, I started responding to the
treatment One morning my brother-in-law, Sahib suddenly asked me, "Everest
chadogi ?" He had just read an interesting piece of information on the
news paper: 'No female amputee had everyone
ever scaled Everest. 'I wasn't amused. "I have lost a leg and you are
talking about Mt. Everest?"
I started talking about myself If I could take
a shot at Everest and succeed, I would become the first female amputee to hold
record ... I thought about it for some time and then I conveyed to Sahib my
willingness to take up challenge. "Theek hai, hum karengey." I said.
I now had something to look forward to: a mission, a goal. reason to dream It
was not going to be easy. But, throughout my life nothing had come easy I felt
like I was born agair. Arti ficialleg felt almost like my real leg.I could
hardly feel the difference. I had started falling in love with the help of
this' stranger. Then I started waiting for my artificial limb to arrive. When
it finally arrived, I was overjoyed. T stranger 'whom I was wedded for life. I
had set my eyes on a mountain and I needed to prepare myself with the help of
this' strenger'.
