As a child growing up in Jamshedpur, a run at the town's Jubilee Park was a thrill for Vineet Saraiwala. With his mamaji, a marathoner, holding his hand, Vineet would feel free and happy as he ran about, unbothered by the fact that he was visually impaired. It was that sense of adventure and liberation that drew Vineet to marathons when he was older, with his uncle acting as coach and running partner.
Today, Vineet is a seasoned runner, with five marathons to his credit. He likes to run with a partner using a tether, which he holds on one end and the partner on the other, a technique he was introduced to by Reuben, a blind runner from Israel some years ago.
