The National level volleyball player, Arunima, who lost her leg after a horrific incident where she was thrown off a train in 2011, stood on top of the world and achieved what is unthinkable for most.
On May 21, 2013 at five minutes to 11 am, Arunima Sinha stood on top of the world’s highest peak and hoisted the Indian tricolor.
With that Arunima Sinha became the first female amputee to conquer Mount Everest. Honestly, I was tired of explaining people that I didn’t attempt suicide.
I tried to convince people but failed mostly. Whenever I saw my missing leg, I used to think, I will never let it be my weakness.
Losing a part of your body at an early age is a big thing. I was terrified with my disability and the people who were criticising me. Then I decided, to answer them with action not words.
