We have all come across the phrase, necessity is the mother of invention and in my case, ‘necessity’ was the money I desperately needed to buy food and books after my family farmlands were washed away by the mighty Brahmaputra.
Ever since I realized I am good at this sports, I started looking to each and every marathon event that came to my notice as a means of earning and I participated in all those events and would look for all the prize money up for grabs. Gradually, I developed a yearning for winning all possible cash prizes in marathons in Assam and the Northeast when I realized I could make a proper and stable career out of this sports which motivated me to practice regularly and improve my performance with each run.
My campaign culminated in the World Railways Athletics Meet at Denmark, United Sportsmanship The International Championship World Railway Marathon Championship held on 25th September 2005 where I emerged 10th in the individual event and third in the team event of the marathon championship. This has been the most memorable ever since because it covered the highest distance of 42 kms which comes under the category of full marathon covering 2 hours 25 mins. I is the first-ever sprinter from NF Railway to participate and win a medal in World Railways Meet and that was the most memorable marathon I have ever participated and won in.
