Bedridden for 20 years, this teacher is an inspiration

Sanjay Bahuguna has been a source of inspiration for a lot of people in the last 20 years. He completed his engineering from a reputed college in the country in early 90s. Soon after he graduated, Sanjay got a paralysis attack and has been on bed in his room since. (Source: Photo by Cheena Kapoor)

He moved to Delhi to his parents after his graduation and he decided that he’ll not let his education go waste and started a coaching center for students pursuing engineering. The word spread and his network of students started growing every year. (Source: Photo by Cheena Kapoor)

Apart from his students, his biggest support systems are his mother and sister. His mother cooks food for him, changes his clothes and most importantly, gives him the strength to carry on. His sister helps him manage the student reports, buys his medicines etc. Without them, he says he cannot survive a single day. (Source: Photo by Cheena Kapoor)

These lines from Mitch Albom’s book ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ can be related to him - “I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on the good things still in my life. I don't allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each every morning, a few tears, and that's all.” (Source: Photo by Cheena Kapoor)
