It was around sometime last year that, a young girl was laughing and playing in the water. I saw her and remembered my childhood days…I smiled and continued doing my work until I heard her scream. I looked back at the waters but I couldn’t see her – she had gone into the deep and had started to drown. There were 100 of on lookers but no one moved an inch — I didn’t understand why not one person was ready to do anything about it !

I couldn’t see her and I didn’t have a clue of where she was, but I just jumped in, hoping to be able to see her underwater. I spotted her drowning in the deep and I swam towards her, so that I could pull her out. The water there was heavy and fighting the force wasn’t easy, but I put in all my might to save the girl and myself. At some point, I felt like even I won’t make it, because the force of the current was just too much, but I pushed myself harder and summoned all my strength until I finally reached her.

I caught hold of her and yanked her out of deep. When I reached the shore and put her near the steps, those onlookers rushed to pump water out of the girl’s body. Everyone applauded my bravery but my only focus was to see whether she made it.

With God’s grace, she started breathing normally after a few minutes — she had survived! I never did it for any fame, but this story and a lot of media came to interview me.

I was ultimately called to Dehli last year to receive the General National Bravery Award from the hands of our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi. My family was so proud and everyone congratulated me, but I couldn’t help but think that it could have been any of those onlookers receiving this award. It was me, only because I chose to do something while the others looked on and that’s the biggest lesson I learnt from this — to never be a spectator and in the hour of need to actually get up and make a difference.
