My Story of Courage
Date Published: 4/17/2020
I was 12 years old when I got electrocuted while playing with a fishing rod. The rod slipped out of the window and while trying to catch it, I caught onto an electrical wire instead — 11,000 volts of current ran through my right hand. I was rushed to the ICU with severe burns and parts of my flesh missing — after a week, my right hand had to be amputated to prevent the Gangrene from spreading. At 12, I didn’t understand the magnanimity of what had happened — I just knew that I had to start as a baby again. My parents and friends were like pillars during this time, who made me realize this dark phase shall pass too and you’ll come out victorious than ever!â£
â£
That’s how the shift happened, instead of focusing on the struggle, I looked at it as a celebration of my second shot at life. From the day I zipped my own bag to the day I wore clothes on my own, the first time I locked a door or wrote all my examination papers by myself — everything was a celebration!â£
â£
At 28, I’ve had 45 surgeries and lost my right hand, have a semi-paralyzed left hand, scars all over my body yet I live my life to the fullest!â£
â£
I married the love of my life who only lifts me higher, blessed with a beautiful daughter, work full time on my business, drive like a boss, skydive, bungee jump and do multiple open water drives and have so much more to do…â£
â£
I believe one can achieve anything if they have the will & a positive approach! If I can do with One and a Half Hands, what excuse do you have? â£
My Wish : Everyone has Struggles what separates them is how they perceive it!
My Wish is to portray their Stories in a way which represents only them and their emotions.
