Arunima Sinha First amputee to Climb Mt. Everest |
Today I'm going to write a story, which is really a benchmark in inspiration, motivation, goal setting or anything you like to get from this. Story of a 25-year-old girl Arunima Sinha, who resisted chain snatching in a train (Padmati Express), Arunima who was travelling from Lucknow to Delhi that time in a general compartment of that train on 12th April 2011. She had never thought of anything like this, could happen to her, she was thrown out of a running train. Arunima suffered serious injuries in her legs and pelvic region. Somehow she was rushed to a nearby hospital and her life saved, but her life cost her leg to be amputated. Doctor's had no other way but to amputate her left leg below her knee.
Arunima was a fighter she thought to fight and to do something which even normal and healthy people don't dare to do. She thought to Climb the Mount Everest while she was just had started recovering and she was bedridden in the hospital that time too.
She knew she could not run like again ever, she could not play her favourite sport Volleyball again, but she knew she can climb the Mt. Everest. She had determined this, she has to fulfil her wish, she has to live a life of a proud amputee. She had to prove the world that the disabled are not for sympathy, disabled don't need to be pitied. She had to prove that disability with physical part doesn't make them disabled mentally.
Arunima joined Tata Steel Adventure Foundation and started her training under the guidance of Bacchendri Pal, the first woman to climb Mt. Everest. Arunima last year that is in 2012 scaled Chhamser Kaangri 6622 meter high mountain in Laddakh.
But Arunima had miles to go before she stops and she knew it's just a leap in her dream, her ultimate goal was still to be conquered. Arunima on 20th May 2013 made history, she became the first ever Indian amputee woman to scale 8848 mtr. high Everest.
She not only made hope, she not only proved that disability is not a menace, she not only proved that woman can do anything they like, she not only set a standard, but she excelled in every aspect, she proved the world that anything can be achieved, it's just need a will to achieve.
Salute to these kind of brave people, who defying all odds cheered and made many others to cheer by setting a goal in their mind.
