ARUNIMA SINHA:- ON THE TOP OF THE WORLD
“When I reached the Hillary step, my sherpa told me,’ Arunima, let’s go back. Your oxygen supply is running out.’ Hillary step is just away from Mt Everest. I decided to go ahead come what may. And in about an hour, I was at the top.”
In spite of all those hardships, she did it. Her strong will power and attitude and trying till the end made her a legend !
Yes, I am talking about none other than Arunima Sinha, an Indian mountaineer and sportswoman. She is the world’s first female amputee to scale Mount Everest and many more. Let’s know something more about her.
EARLY LIFE:-
Arunima Sinha was born on 20th July 1989 in Ambedkar Nagar near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. Her family consisted of her father, her mother ,her elder sister and her younger brother. Her father was in Indian Army and her mother worked as supervisor in Health Department. After her father’s death, her mother looked after them.
She was a national Volleyball player. She liked football too.
TRAIN ACCIDENT:-
On 12 April 2011, Arunima boarded the Padmavati Express train for her CISF examination to Delhi. The Hooligans in the train wanted her bag and golden chain. They tried to snatch it from her but she resisted it. Then they pushed Arunima out of the train. She was falling at the railway track. She saw that the train was coming towards her, she tried a lot to get up but unfortunately she could’nt. Meanwhile the train had run over her leg. Her leg was crushed due to parallel movements of the train. She was treated in the hospital as she had serious pelvic and leg injuries. She lost her leg. She spent around 4 months in the hospital. She was provided with prosthetic leg .On the other hand according to media and police, she tried to commit suicide. Arunima claimed that police were lying but everyone turned a deaf ear to what she said.
HER STRONG WILL POWER:-
Despite of all the hardships, she decided to climb Mt Everest! A normal person would have cried and thought about how to spend life further and what will happen now. But this legend girl has only two thoughts in her mind, how to climb Mt Everest and how to reply all those who pulled her down after the accident. When she decided her aim, people around her started to mock at her. They started to advise her to marry and think about how to spent her further life. But she turned a deaf ear to their sayings.
PLANNING:-
She excelled in the basic mountaineering course from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi. She contacted Bachendri Pal, the first Indian woman to climb Mount Everest, in 2011. After listening to her story Bachendri Pal encouraged her that, in this situation to thought to climb. Go ahead and prove that you can make it.
TRANNING:-
Initially she took 3 to 4 hours to walk a short distance while others did it very easily. When she used to walk then blood came out of her prosthetic leg. She used to get frustrated but again the burning desire never let her quit. After some time she and her colleagues used to start together from base came but she reached first.
ACTUAL JOURNEY WHILE CLIMBING MT. EVEREST:-
She started from base camp. During her journey a moment came when she saw dead bodies on the way. Her oxygen supply was low. Her Sherpa advised her to go back but she said she will not go back what may happen. After few moments, she was on the top with our Tiranga!!
She is awarded with Padma Shri, Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award and many more. She kept going on. She climbed all the seven highest peaks in all seven continents.
In many interviews, she said a person is not disabled physically but he may be disabled mentally. She believes the biggest motivator is you yourself. We can do whatever we want. But we make thousands of reasons and run away from the challenges. She also believes that, luck favours the brave. If you are working day and night for your goal God has to give it because you deserve it. In life there are situation we are alone. Just think that you have came here by walking step by step. Just put your one step forward and you will be on the top!!!
Really she is an inspiration for all and specially youths who get stuck in many problems and decide to give up and quit.
Arunima Sinha is a true Legend!!!
