A very hectic week gone by, was attending training over the weekend. Training which wasn't much useful. What a way to ruin the weekend. But this post is not related to my rants. I came across a wonderful article in Sunday TOI. It was under section "Survivor Tales" and was about Sanjay Khan. For people who don't know him, he played Tipu Sultan in his famous serial The Sword of Tipu Sultan. I remember those days when this serial was being telecast on DD. Don't remember the year but could be early 90's. This was the first serial which impressed me because of its action and bravery of Tipu Sultan. We used to imitate Tipu Sultan during Dusshera buying wooden swords and fighting with each other. Coming back to article, Sanjay Khan suffered with accident on the sets of his serial which caused him major injuries. The extent of his injuries could be imagined considering he suffered 65 percent third degree burns, he underwent 72 surgeries and chances of his survival were zero. His heart stopped beating on three of the surgeries.What can keep the man living under this circumstances? He says, willingness and courage was the only way he could have survived this. He used to dictate notes to his nurse about his future plans and dreams. He always wanted to live and always had this feeling rooted deeply in his mind and heart. He used to stare outside the hospital window with firm determination to fly out..
How important it is to think positive isn't it? Its all about what's in your mind and the way it controls almost everything in your life. If things are right and if mind is disturbed, it shows up on you..even though you are physically fit..
He says further how his mind sometimes was stuck by negative thoughts, but seeing a lady in the hospital whose hands and legs were cut in half gave him strength..made him feel thankful for the life he is bestowed with..
We always complain of what we don't have and how our life is miserable without something. But we should consider ourselves lucky and think of those people who are less fortunate and have to work hard and still struggle for basic essentials of life.
Article was concluded with a message: When you are living, don't act dead..LIVE..so true..
Three cheers to such champions of life..
