#Mortuary to #Elbrus, #killimanjaro, #brevets #kashmir to #kanyakumari cycling. THis is story of Shekhar... I am Sheker Goud  from Hyderabad.  Today I am here to share my life journey so far and to be precise my visible impairment.    I come from a very humble background and hail from Nalgonda in Telangana.  I was studying a certificate course in Electrical trade from Nalgonda ITI.  On 24 December, 2006 I was speaking over my mobile phone and sitting on a wall which was adjacent to an electrical transformer, it was a rented house in which I was living while doing my certificate course.  While I was completely engrossed in the conversation with my friend, I had no idea how I slipped from the wall and fell down.  As I could recollect now, on one side I had transformer and on the other side there were electrical wires.  It was situation where my life was at stake, if I had held electrical wire, there was death and if I had fallen down on transformer again there was a death.     What happened to me after that I had no idea, next morning when I opened my eyes and I was amongst the dead bodies. To my amazement I was in a mortuary.  I could not believe as to what happened to me, I mustered the courage and started walking out of mortuary. As you know ours is country which believes in ghosts, people started thinking that I am also one.  They were really scared of me and started running here and there in order to escape my presence amongst them.      My right arm became just like a piece of flesh with no movement at all in it. My left leg was also badly injured however was still supporting me in walking.  My right leg foot was badly damaged.  As there was no energy left in my body. Within 3 hours my entire family was there in the hospital and they scolded the hospital authority and confronted with them that as to how come a living person can be put in a mortuary.    As I had lost the significant amount of blood and infection to my wounds was aggravating, doctors’ panel decided to amputate wounded arm and that’s where my ordeal started.  They amputated it once and infection reached to next level and there was another round of amputation. It took a total of four surgeries for my hand to reach at this level where I am today.  The Sheker which is standing in front of you has undergone a total of 15 surgeries to breath in this state.

#PassionTalks #Comrades #greenbib #ComradesultraMarathon Running and Satish Gujaran are synonymous to each other. With each run, he discovered something new about running, life and himself. Satish Gujaran was born in Udupi (Mangalore). He is a Founder of Karma Fitness and Director with Network Twenty-one. He was never really inclined towards sports although he is occasionally did enjoy playing a game of badminton and cricket. In fact, his lifestyle was far from healthy. He was a chain smoker and like any other smoker, had tried many ways to stop. Till one day his friend Dereck, who is an avid runner, coaxed him to start running in order to kick the smoking habit. As he started running on a regular basis, he began to enjoy running. But he could not able to finish his first ever race of 21km. That was the turning point in his life. Then on wards he never stopped running. Eventually running consistently and attending the Inner Engineering Course of Isha Foundation, helped him quit smoking. But he continued to run and run, till date finally running became an integral part of his life.   Satish Gujaran in his 15 years of running, finished 26 Ultra Marathon, 35 Full Marathon, 34 Half Marathon. Instead of traveling by bus / train or flight to participate in any marathon. He prefer running to those venue where marathon happens. So he ran from Mumbai to Surat and ran the Surat marathon, Vashi to Satara and ran the Satara marathon, Pune to Aurangabad to run Aurangabad marathon and Nasik to Shirdi to run the Shirdi International Marathon. Last year when he turned to 55 years, he did his PB in full marathon as well as in half marathon. Full marathon in 3 hours 38 min and half marathon in 1h 38 min. He is the first Indian to finish 10 consecutive Comrades marathon and awarded Green number by Comrades Marathon Association at Comrades Marathon’2019. This year he has been pacing 4h 30 min bus in major marathons across India, so that any one has got a dream of running Comrades, they can run with Satish in his 4:30 Bus and qualify for the comrades. He is also going to pace 11.30 bus at Comrades 2020.      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   If you are here, then most likely you wish to live a life beyond your limits and aspire to be out of your comfort zone.
