“When I was in Class II, we used to walk about 5 km. to school. I did not know of Olympics or even athletics then. One day, a friend went in a car and left me behind. I was so angry, I wanted to run and outrace the car. I ran so fast that I tripped and fractured my knee.”

“I hope I will get a chance to compete in the Olympics.”

“We are human beings, at the end of the day. Success and failure are a part and parcel of our life.”

“My attitude is different. And no one understands me the way my friends do.”

“Whatever you do, do it from your heart. It won't happen just by sitting at home.”
