The World of Limitless Possibilities notes: key concepts (Class 9 English)
An interview with Paralympian Dr. Deepa Malik about the spine tumour that paralysed her at twenty-nine and the choice she made afterwards, paired with the poem 'Nine Gold Medals'. Together they redefine both ability and winning.
- Dr. Deepa Malik
- Khel Ratna, Arjuna and Padma Shri awardee. She was twenty-nine when she was diagnosed with a spine tumour; after surgery doctors declared she would be wheelchair-bound for life.
- The choice she names
- 'I had two choices — squander my life in remorse or transform it to a world of limitless possibilities.' That sentence gives the interview its title.
- Her sporting path
- She had been a swimmer, so she switched to para-athletics. Her breakthrough came at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games, where she won silver in shot-put.
- 'Ability beyond disability'
- The school of thought she describes herself as a proponent of — physical limitations do not define a person's true potential.
- What the Paralympics are
- A celebration of the resilience and talent of athletes with locomotor, sensory or intellectual disabilities. They go beyond competition, to quell stereotypes and redefine possibility.
- India in the Paralympics
- Bharat made its debut in 1968, and clinched its first medal in swimming in 1972.
- Poem: 'Nine Gold Medals'
- Nine athletes line up for the hundred-yard dash. The smallest stumbles and falls, the other eight turn back to help him, and all nine finish arm in arm, crossing the line together.
- Why the title says nine
- Because every athlete finishes together, each one earns a gold medal — the poem's way of saying everyone won.
- How the poem redefines winning
- Victory becomes an act of shared humanity rather than beating others. The runners choose compassion over the medal.
- Compassion, precisely
- The unit defines it as feeling for someone's suffering AND acting to help — not sympathy alone. The runners turning back is the definition in action.
- How the two texts connect
- Both honour the human spirit, dignity and compassion: Deepa Malik's resilience and the athletes' solidarity both measure worth by spirit rather than by physical advantage.
- Key vocabulary
- Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulty; squander means waste; remorse means regret; a trailblazer is a pioneer; fortitude is strength to face adversity; coveted means strongly desired; accolades are praise and honours; quell means to overcome.
