This year my focus for the April Challenge 2019 is on Nature. I am posting pictures of nature and writing thoughts that inspire me. I am combining this #WAWTB post with the #April A-Z 2019 challenge.
Preethi Srinivasan from
Tamilnadu, India led the women’s cricket team to the National level at the very
young age of 17. She supposed to have survived a tragic accident that made her quadriplegic
at 18. She is also a champion in swimming and has won a state gold in 50 m
breaststroke and silver in other events.

a night full of pain and darkness, be a candle spreading light until dawn” Rumi

Preethi is an inspiration
as even the tragic accident did not stop her from moving ahead in life. She co founded a Non Governmental Organization
called Soul free that champions the causes of restoring, rehabilitating and
reintegrating those suffering lethal spinal cord injuries and spreads awareness
on its prevention among the Indian youth.
Despite the tragedy in
her life, having become wheel bound the 34 year old Preethi motivates and
instills hope to those women who suffer from various kinds of physical
disabilities. She is known to be a motivational speaker too.
Preethi’s story is
heartwarming and I am so inspired as I kept reading about her – I admire her
grit, courage and strength to move on despite the tragedy in her life. She is a
great example of what one can achieve in life, if one is devoted, dedicated and
committed to pursue dreams, think big and look at all the problems like
stepping stones to reach their goals.
She is known to have
won plenty of awards and titles like Ray of Hope, Women Achiever, Dhruva award
for excellence in social work etc.
Its persons like
Preethi who make the world a better place to live in; they are lights amidst
darkness, shining brightly by believing in self, having the perseverance and
never give up on life easily. I was impressed with her initiative wherein she
is willing to lift others who need help.
May Preethi’s story
inspire us to do what we can and make this world a beautiful place not only for
us but also for the future generations to come.
Thanks for reading my psot.
