Book excerpt: ‘I realised that I had to do something in my life so that people would stop looking at me with pity’ National level volleyball player Arunima Sinha had a promising future ahead of her. Then one day she was shoved from a moving train by thieves as she attempted to fight them off. The horrific accident cost the twenty-four-year-old her left leg and sporting career, but it never deterred her.
