To achieve dreams, one needs to grind and work hard in this competitive world. Someone like MS Dhoni managed his job of TC and playing cricket simultaneously in his early days before eventually representing India in the sport and rest is history. The harsh reality is that all these inspirational stories are heard once success has been achieved by the person. But times are changing, thanks to the world of social media.
These days, a viral clip can bring the struggles and dedication of someone to everyone's notice and in matter of no time, the life of the person can change. Well, something similar happened when filmmaker Vinod Kapri saw a young 19-year-old boy running on the streets of Noida during midnight.
Who does the boy run on streets every night?
On being asked about why he was running, the boy (Pradeep Mehra) revealed that it's his daily routine to run from his workplace i.e. McDonalds Sector 16 to his home in Barola which is approximately around 10 kms.
The youngster from Uttarakhand, Almora disclosed that he runs everyday to practice for joining Indian Army. When the filmmaker asked why he doesn't run in morning, Pradeep said, "In mornings, I have to cook food before going to work." His dedication and passion has truly won the hearts of everyone.
