नोएडा की सड़क पर कल रात 12 बजे मुझे ये लड़का कंधे पर बैग टांगें बहुत तेज़ दौड़ता नज़र आया
मैंने सोचा
किसी परेशानी में होगा , लिफ़्ट देनी चाहिए
बार बार लिफ़्ट का ऑफ़र किया पर इसने मना कर दिया
वजह सुनेंगे तो आपको इस बच्चे से प्यार हो जाएगा ❤️😊 pic.twitter.com/kjBcLS5CQu
Filmmaker Vinod Kapri's Conversation with Pradeep-a Young Defence Aspirant
In the video you can see a young man is seen sprinting purposefully down a Noida road at midnight. The video has gathered over 4 million views on social media. The runner was soaked in sweat and can be seen turning down the offer of filmmaker Vinod Kapri's to give him a ride home repeatedly.
The boy name is Pradeep Mehra and he hails from Uttarakhand. 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."
#PradeepMehra ( स्कूल रिकॉर्ड में पुष्कर मेहरा ) से अभी 11 बजे पूरा काम करने के बाद @McDonalds में मुलाक़ात हुई।

During their conversation, Pradeep further told 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. Pradeep 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.
