What happens when a body part is lost in an accident? Someone suddenly felt the need for glasses, machines and crutches? From the perspective of the viewer, that person’s entire life is destroyed. People assume that this is the destiny and now nothing can be better.

But there are also examples around us that lack is not considered destiny. He fought it as a challenge and then proved himself by winning. Such people, who suddenly have a glorious feeling of compassionate eyes, cannot be called ordinary in any sense. Today, the person whom we have been talking about is also known due to some such adventures.

The Indian Para Swimmer Shams is going to be talked about. The part below his waist is paralyzed, but even after this deficiency, he has dozens of medals to make India proud. It is another matter that the road was not easy.

Shams learned swimming in flood

Shams Alam, 34, a resident of Madhubani in Bihar Swimming in the flood Has learned. While people used to evacuate the village before the flood, Shams used to learn to swim in it when the flood occurred. Sometimes on the pretext of helping someone, sometimes to save household goods, whenever the Shams would jump in the flood waters, they would swim like a medal was to be found instead.

Shams says that the financial condition of the family was not such that they could send me to practice in expensive swimming pools. And in the village, children are sent to the pond to learn swimming anyway. That’s why I had only one way to swim. If people want to live in our village, it is very important for them to learn swimming.

It is another thing that I never thought about making a career in swimming! Even thinking how, we did not even know that careers are also made by swimming. Shams’ family loved to play wrestling. He says that grandfather, uncle and elder brother used to play wrestling, so thought if there is a career then only in this.

Shams reached the town from the village, school to college. Of mechanical engineering and then started working. Overall neither did he make a career in wrestling nor in swimming. To keep yourself connected to sports, start doing kick-boxing and martial arts. In martial arts after 10 years of hard work Black belt gain did.
