Musings, published a few times every week, are my attempt at sharing diverse perspectives to help us better navigate our lives.
The key theme I explore is how can we progress towards achieving our potential, and thereby become more accomplished & secure. Some of these ideas come from my own experience, while others come from a thorough study of management research & leadership books, perspectives from science, arts, history, and discussions with industry practitioners across sectors & functions.
A story of indomitable spirit: Deepa malik
In today’s edition of Inspiring Journeys, we explore the journey of Deepa Malik, the Indian Paralympian who has achieved great heights over the last two decades. Her story of the undefeatable human spirit, grit, and believing in yourself, can give you chills. Paralyzed, chest down, at the young of 29, she started her sports journey at age 36, and went on to win more than 23 international, and over 58 national medals. In 2016, aged 46, she won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in shot put, making her the first Indian woman to win a Paralympic medal.
