Most of us can't do what Simran just did. And yet she isn't trending or in the news. She is a blind runner and just won gold for India 🇮🇳 in 200m finishing in 25.95 secs at ParaAthletics World Championship.
Go out and try running 200m at that pace. You will feel your lungs in your hand. Simran was born with semi-developed ears and was kept for seven months in an incubator. Doctors had given up hope and were not sure of her survival. But 22 years later, she became the first Indian woman to qualify for the 100-metre track event in Tokyo Paralympics. Remember the name Simran Sharma for Paris.
Her husband is her coach who is a soldier in Indian Army. The family had to take loan and sell their land to fund for her training.
The least we can do is talk about her. Share about her. She is not expecting that. But if we don't do that, her hard work and grit will go unnoticed.
This competition happened many months ago, but only caught my attention today…
And I wish I had been in the auditorium to stand and applaud Dr. Suresh Nambiar.
Because he has a captivating voice.
Because he’s an engaging performer on stage.
But most of all, because he shows us that the desire to live life to the fullest need never be diminished.
Thank you @ICICIBank for this focus on senior citizens—which is the tribe I now belong to!
And thank you Dr. Nambiar, for reminding us to give ‘voice’ to our passions.
Watch this video to witness the shocking cruelty inflicted upon innocent street dogs by the Modi government in preparation for the G20 summit.
Dogs are being dragged by their necks, beaten with sticks and thrown into cages. They are being denied food and water, and they are being subjected to extreme stress & fear.
It is imperative that we raise our voices against such appalling acts and demand justice for these voiceless victims.
प्रधानमंत्री जी, महिला कुश्ती खिलाड़ी धरने पर बैठी हैं। आपके सांसद पर यौन शोषण के आरोप हैं। आप ठंड की वजह से चुप हैं या सांसद की ताक़त से? क्या देश अब BBC से उम्मीद करें कि गुजरात की तरह इस पर डॉक्यूमेंट्री बनाए और ब्लॉक हो जाए! नारी की पूजा वाले देश के पुजारी कहाँ भाग गए ?
As Sikhs across the globe commemorate this time of the year as time of pain & sacrifices, we must also reflect how great our Sikhi teachings are that no matter how much we have suffered we always wish well upon all humanity. 🙏🏻
20 years ago, 5 months pregnant #BilkisBano was gang-raped by her neighbors, her 3 year old daughter was snatched from her and killed, 7 other members of her family were killed too.
Today as 1.3 billion people watch, her rapists walk free.
India at 75 is a Republic of Injustice.
Thank you @BajpayeeManoj for this beautiful message of Communal Harmony. You have shown that humanity & courage are still alive at least in some people in Bollywood, amidst this frenzy of hate
This showed up in my inbox without commentary. It is strangely calming to watch in an increasingly complex world. A ‘short story’ that proves: Determination + Ingenuity + Patience = Success
