Close your eyes and imagine a life without both your hands. Seems impossible, doesn’t it? Makes you want to give up?
But Kshitiz Aneja did not and will not give up. In fact, he chooses to live life by the motto, ‘a day without laughter is a day wasted’.
This young man lost his hands when he was just 8-years-old, but he survived high school and college, and is now a student at one of the most prestigious institutes in the country – the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.
Kshitiz has not let losing his hands restrict him in any way – he plays football, writes, uses technology and wants to travel the world. A crowdfunding campaign is underway to make a documentary on Kshitiz, a fighter and survivour, who wants his story told to help others.
If you need some inspiration, or a quick pick-me-up, watch this video of the man with no hands.
