Ninety-five days, 2,733 kilometres, and a dream to trace the mighty Ganga from its source at Gaumukh to where it meets the Bay of Bengal at Gangasagar. For Rency Thomas, the challenge wasn't 'how' to achieve this feat but to complete it before his arthritis worsened.

When I met Thomas in Delhi, I could barely recollect his chronic illness until I noticed his deformed finger. Upon seeing the swollen index finger, Thomas' second in a row, I was momentarily speechless. But the glint in his eyes and a brightening smile instantly translated my pity into pride. It made me see the bounds of human strength, with Thomas as its living testament.
