For Rajesh, it is very much a story of coming back from the brink as he was bed-ridden for six months. The 24-year-old narrated how the tragedy struck him in his hometown last February.

"I was training with a motorbike which was right ahead of me. My cycle's speedometer touched 79.8 kmph and the bike rider ahead of me suddenly throttled down, causing the collision," the soft-spoken rider told IANS.
