Challenge the Challenges

The whole stadium was reverberating with applause and cheers as his country’s flag was unfurled along with the national song being played.

Standing on the podium, tears rolled down his eyes as the smile on his lips annihilated his deepest grief while receiving that gold.

Today silently he had responded to the world who had always mocked him saying,
” Ye apaahij kya kar lega”, for being physically abled. (What will this crippled do?)

But he accepted it all quietly to become tough like a rock.
And like a river overflowing, ready to gulp anything that disrupted its flow, he contested all the challenges he faced.

And there he was, winning the Paralympics in so many categories, making his country proud.

Challenge the Challenges!
