New Delhi: A heartwarming video shared by filmmaker Vinod Kapri is doing rounds on internet since it was first uploaded on Sunday night.
The video enables one to revisit their thoughts to what extent can a person go to pursue their dreams, despite a truckload of hardships.
In the viral video, a teenage boy can be seen sprinting on the roads of Noida city at midnight while carrying a small bag on his back.
When Kapri offered to give a ride to the boy several times, he genuinely turned down the offer.
As Kapri asked why he was running during the odd hours at night, the 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra said, “I always run on my way back home, otherwise I won’t get time to practice running in the morning as I have to leave for work early”.
Later, he tells Kapri that he works at a fast-food franchise in Sector 16, and runs 10 km till Barola.
When asked the reason for practicing running in a routine, the boy says that its because he aspires to join the Indian Army.

मैंने सोचा

Netizens are going gaga over the youth’s determination:
अनगिनत बार देख कर भी मन नही भर रहा है
इतनी साफ़गोई और ख़ुद्दारी महज़ 19 साल की उम्र में
मेरी तो बिसात ही क्या, बड़े बड़े IAS, राजनेता भी शायद छोटा महसूस करे इस बच्चे के जज़्बे ओर लगन के आगे
जियो मेरे चीते
बस यही दुआ है ऊपर वाले से आपके सारे सपने पूरे होhttps://t.co/cCRnPrKYIv— Manish Sisodiya (@manish_sisodiya) March 20, 2022
