*Almost Dead* Multiple fractures..Lost Everything...Yet He Didn't Give Up! Raman's Inspiration Story | Ep. 27

Ashish Vidyarthi Podcasts

Let me take the privilege of introducing you to my schoolmate Raman Kwatra who has truly set an example of how to live life despite challenges with zest and willingness by exhibiting an unmatched desire to achieve your goals.

In 2020 during COVID during a cycling ride of 50 km, Raman's life took a tragic turn wherein he met with a fatal accident that caused him multiple fractures and critical injuries. He was in the hospital and the road to recovery wasn't easy.

Raman still has not got back the complete sensation in the upper body as the nerves haven't recovered completely and he feels exhausted after walking for a small distance. Despite all the physical challenges Raman has a very strong mind, an athlete in him has never stopped him from running after his goal.

The true sportsman spirit can be witnessed when you see Raman at 57 starting up a Startup named 'RYZ' that deals with clothes that you can wear throughout the day be it during morning walks, gym, shopping or doing yoga, cycling and the material is quick to dry. That's not it, the clothing line has been designed in such a manner that if you change one layer it gets transformed into a semi-casual look. The brand is built on the concept of 'athleisure' - athletic leisure.

It's ironic to see my dear friend who has been into active sports and adventure activities throughout his life now fighting back to get back his agility. Right from participating in the Himalayan Car Rally to cycling, playing badminton all his life, Raman has done it all. He lost his full-time job after the accident but never gave up hope. It's hope that keeps each one of us alive and kicking.

But, as it is said 'where there is a will, there is a way', Raman had the will and he has found his way of getting his life back on track. He has a beautiful way of looking at life, he says the human body is made up in a way that it will heal on its own so one day he will completely recuperate and has no worries on that front.

Raman has always been an inspiration for me and now he has set a new standard of motivating oneself to challenge your limitations and achieve whatever you desire!

Let's explore the inspiring conversation and don't forget to share it with your friends and family because I believe that hope is contagious and if I can light a lamp of hope somewhere I will feel delighted.

Don't forget to like, comment and share.

Keep spreading love, happiness, and above all hope for a better tomorrow.
