Handicap is in
the mind. Arunima Sinha is one of the
many individuals who have proved that right.
When she was
23, Arunima was attacked by thieves in a running train and pushed out. The train that whizzed past on the next track
ran over her leg which was amputated.
The police in Incredible India made a theory that she had tried to
commit suicide. She had to fight the
pain of her physical handicap and the more terrible pain of the mental agony
thrown in gratuitously by the police.

Being a sportswoman
must have helped her. She was a
volleyball player. She decided to face
the challenges, both physical and mental.
She decided to conquer the Everest with the prosthetic leg that her
doctors would provide.
A dream and
full confidence in yourself. That’s the
secret of success. She had already
conquered the Everest the moment the dream was born inside her because she had
the confidence in herself that she could make her dream real.
Two years
after the accident, Arunima Sinha became the first woman with a prosthetic leg
to conquer Mount Everest. “I have little
patience for wonders of faith, destiny, kismet and the like. We chart our own
destiny. It is my firmest conviction that luck will favour those who have the
drive and the tenacity to win.” Arunima
said later.
Recently
Arunima was in news
for conquering Indonesia’s highest peak, Carstensz Pyramid, which is tough to
climb because of the rain forest and the terrain. Between the Everest and Carstensz Pyramid,
Arunima’s dream took her to the peaks of Kilimanjaro in Africa, Elbrus in
Europe, Kosizko in Australia and Aconcagua in Argentina.
It’s your grit
that matters. Destiny will bow before
you if you have the grit. Handicap is in
the mind, not in the body.
Life on earth is as simple as two lines'know what you are and learn how to conquer yourself as you are your greatest enemy'. Being practical many of them fails to conquer fear,which draws them back. Leaen to make mistakes before making it correct. Care about what you feel of yourselves. Learn from mistakes and then you can be invincible.
ReplyDeleteI have always been complaining till date about the injustices against women. But lately likes like Arunima opened my eyes to the reality that its the mind that matters. I would love to read her story
ReplyDeleteThat is nicely said.Handicap is in the mind not i the body.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir.
ReplyDeleteVery well said, Handicap is in the mind. Infact each and every experience of our life is experienced by us, through our mind.Human mind is itself a dynamic creation, which has tremendous power and can do miracles.So we just need to use the potential of our mind.
People like Arumina has done it. Vo zindigi hi kya, jisme koi Namumkin khwab na hoo.
Salute to Arunima and her dreams.
:/ Such an inspiring person. I feel so bad now for being so lazy.. Appreciating things before they are snatched away from you is a must.
ReplyDeleteI read about her sometime back too, she is indeed an inspiration to many!
ReplyDeleteWell said Sir, I agree on this.
