RAINBOW STORIES 7

FROM THE CITY AFTER MY HEART, GUWAHATI

SATYAM, SHIVAM, SUNDARAM

When was the last time you resigned and said you have had enough of life and given up on it? If you have, you should be sorry you did it! You might be absolutely fit to take the world by storm but you won't because you're filled with so many excuses.
Well, friends, the next time you decide life hasn't given you the best, then you have to see, hear and feel Shivam Ayengia's story, which hasn't been a bed of roses since he was born. Growing up with cerebral palsy, a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities, typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth(Wikipedia), was not something easy to cope with by both the parents but seeing Shivam's zeal to prove himself has made them stand like rock-solid pillars of strength besides him. All of 20 now, Shivam is studying at Tezpur University, which again has been extremely supportive towards him. In his fourth semester of Engineering, Shivam's father, Mr. Nripen Ayengia, a businessman, says his son has been inspired by his maternal uncles, who are both engineers, even after he had told him that it would be easier to graduate in arts from any other college. But Shivam doesn't like to do things the easy way. His physical condition has been no impediment for this amazing young man, who works out three times a week at Mr. Universe, Mahadev Deka's gym.
Shivam is a writer and loves to pen his thoughts, especially about his condition. In 2015, Shivam Ayengia was awarded with Inspiring Leader of the Year!
If this is not inspiration, then what is? More power to the indomitable spirit of Shivam Ayengia!
