Being a relatively smaller kid compared to the kids of my ages I was always being subtly reminded by my peers that I’ll never be good in Athletics because of my short legs, I felt inferior knowing the fact that I could never compete with the high profile Athletes who were regularly competing in the local clusters and in the nationals, but it all changed the day I decided to give a shot at long distance running. I ran 5km that day without a single timeout, without any prior training ,without any proper equipment or any prior knowledge. Just me ,my guts and my willpower to prove all the naysayers wrong. I was alone that day but I’ve never felt more stronger in my life, I realised running is the only activity that brings me peace and the best way to be at my peace with my body. This eccentric behaviour even caught my parents by surprise, after all why would have skinny boy have any interest in long distance running, right?
From that day I decide in order to be the best at running it is necessary that I needed to stay consistent and self-disciplined and not even the toughest schedules/exams/weather could shatter my determination. This in turn created a positive impact in my life, I began to notice that I became more focused in the present rather my usual inclination toward the future. Needless to say. You reap what you sow, and I was made the House Sports captain towards the second year into my college life by my House in-charge and by my seniors ,and with the help of a bunch of beautifully talented youngsters I lead my House to its First Sports Title in their History with a 1500m gold medal hanging around my neck and a smile across my face
