TBS: Who is your inspiration and what motivates you to keep going VS: One of the most inspiring people in my life is Mr. Rajaram Ghah. He is a paralympic swimmer who swam across the English Channel and also a receiver of the Chatrapati Shivaji Award. I have learnt a lot from him and he is someone who keeps me going. He has also modified the car that he drives, and suggested me to do the same. And now since 6 months, I have been driving too, thanks to him! I turn to him whenever I need to get a dose of motivation. TBS: What are the challenges India faces, in terms of promoting sports like wheelchair fencing VS: Funding is one major issue. <strong>The</strong> National Association reserves funds for sportsmen who represent the country in events like Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and the Olympics. Also, fencing is a very expensive game. <strong>The</strong> best kits come for not less than Rs. 3 lakhs. Since the game isn’t funded, we sportsmen have to travel to international games at our own cost. So someone who is passionate but isn’t financially stable, will face a lot of hiccups in fulfilling their dreams. Secondly, this sport isn’t popular among women. India has no sportswoman representing the country in the wheelchair fencing; majorly because of lack of training and financial conditions. It is very important to overcome this obstacle and inspire more people to come forward and play the game. TBS: What’s next for you this year VS: Train harder, win more international events, improve my ranking and represent India at the Paralympics in 2016. This year, I have 7 international events to look forward to, and I’m working very hard towards raising funds and winning them all. TBS: We wish you lots of luck for this year, and hope you succeed during the 2016 Paralympics and take Indian sports to a new level.
