Brig. Narendra Chaarag, Sena Medal, shares his incredible journey. On August 1, 2020, at 4:43 in the morning, he embarked on a routine 100 km solo cycling ride. However, just 32 km into the ride, his life took a dramatic turn. He was hit by a truck from behind, and he found himself lying on the ground in excruciating pain. As he cried out for help, he realized that his leg was broken at the shin bone level. He understood that if he couldn't help himself, nobody else could either. Summoning his strength, he directed the crowd that had gathered to call the police and an ambulance for assistance.
This incident made him acutely aware of the importance of family and became one of the toughest times in his life. In addition to his leg injury, he has endured several severe injuries and surgeries. However, he never gave up on his determination to get back to cycling. Brig. Narendra Chaarag learned that you don't lose until you give up on yourself. He also gained a deeper understanding of the human body's resilience in enduring physical pain and hardships.
His experience highlighted the significance of having a strong family and support network. He emphasized the value of family and friends, who are the first responders and pillars of strength. He recognized the power of prayers and blessings, along with the importance of working with a strong organization that stands by you in times of adversity.
