A video of a 19-year-old boy sprinting down a Noida road at midnight has raked in millions of views on social media. In case you are wondering, what is so special about a boy running down an empty Noida street? Well, his story is inspiring and deserves everyone’s attention. While we keep cribbing about the slightest discomfort in our lives, here’s Uttarakhand boy Pradeep Mehra who is juggling work, home and also his dream to join the army.

Pradeep caught filmmaker and author Vinod Kapri’s attention when he was driving past the boy running on the sidewalk. Kapri offered him lift to his destination but he politely refused despite being soaked in sweat. This left the filmmaker pretty impressed and he was keen on knowing more about this lad. Therefore, he continued his conversation while driving. The teen also revealed the reason why he was on a 10km run at midnight.

Pradeep said he was running home from work after his shift at McDonald's Sector 16. Despite Vinod Kapri offering him a lift to his home several times, he refused, saying he prefers to run home because he doesn't get time to do it otherwise during the day. When he was asked about the reason why he was running all the way, Pradeep said, "To join the army."

During their conversation, the Uttrakhand boy further informed the filmmaker that he has no time to train in the morning, as he has to wake up at 8 am every day to cook food before work. Mehra runs a 10-km stretch daily, from his work in Noida's Sector 16 to his home in Barola, where he stays with his younger brother. His mother is unwell and is currently hospitalised.
