Bring It On

It is her smile that you notice first. It captivates you and ensures that your eyes don''t move away from it. You don''t see the wheelchair; you don''t see the body paralysed chest down. You don''t see the trauma of recurring spinal tumours, the frustration of an unresponsive body caging a free spirit, the countless hours of gruelling training. All you see is Deepa Malik - achiever, champion, inspiration.
