Journey of a daily wage laborer mother from carrying bricks to winning gold in bodybuilding

Any work done with determination and full faith in the mind definitely moves towards success. Fearing difficulties, if you step back, then you can definitely feel peace for that time, but nothing will be left under your control except blaming fate for the rest of your life.

Just like a mother always lays her eyelids on her child, in the same way, the key to success is to keep doing your work with full curiosity at every step of success toward your purpose.

When you have faith in your mind, then no obstacle or opposition can ever become an obstacle to your destination. It is most important to have a foundation of just strong confidence and strong spirits.

A mother full of these strong foundations, who carried bricks, lifted stones, cleaned sand, and even carried sacks of cement to the roofs of buildings for the upbringing of children but never gave up. Now in the bodybuilding championship, she stormed the gold straight and played the bugle of his victory.

Dreams are not big or small, courage and passion can be more or less, which decide the format of your dream situation.

Daily labor women are not less in any way to work hard. She is not less than a male laborer in any work profession. But when it comes to daily wages, they are underestimated, as well as when it comes to giving them work, their ability also falls short.

It is strange but it is true that when it comes to one day off, it is avoided by saying excuses, as if she is not a human being at all. Just as happiness and sorrow happen to everyone, in the same way, everyone has their own different needs and circumstances.

On the one hand, the poor carry the burden to fill their stomach, and on the other hand, the rich reduce their stomach. One in the sun on roads and the other in AC. inside the gym

But when a laborer working on roads or constructing buildings went inside the gym and started lifting weights, she set an example.


Let's know about this woman

Today's story is about 35-year-old S Sangeeta from Tamil Nadu. 

She used to work as a daily wage laborer with her husband

S. Sangeeta is the mother of two children. Women who have earned their name in the bodybuilding field, have reached here by fighting challenges. S Sangeeta is also one of them but her point is different because for some people bodybuilding is a passion whereas for her it is a way to give a good life to her children.

No one in her family had ever seen a gym before her.

Sangeeta was a daily wage laborer. Food was cooked at home the day she got to work, otherwise, she would have had to spend many nights hungry. Sangeeta used to work as hard as a man in daily wage work, but where men get 300 rupees for work, being a woman, she gets only 200 rupees.

She used to work as a daily wage laborer along with her husband. Both the children were studying. Husband and wife used to manage together somehow.

A few years ago the husband died due to a prolonged illness. Now all the responsibility of the upbringing of the children has become of her alone.


She did not lose courage

Sangeeta's difficulties increased after the death of her husband. Even after this sorrow, she continued the wages so that the children do not have to face any problems. But now only 200 rupees were coming into the house, which was not enough at all.

They used to work at par with men, but due to this web of gender discrimination, the wages were still low.

Sangeeta slowly started carrying more weight than men. Other people were surprised to see this ability of her and now the contractor also had to increase her daily wages. People jokingly started calling her a bodybuilder.

The conditions of her house started improving, but the challenges were not taking the name of reducing.


Why did a daily wage laborer become a bodybuilder?

People started calling her a bodybuilder but Sangeeta could not understand what it was.

She didn't know of course but her children knew. They showed her mother about this on YouTube. Later Sangeeta started imitating those bodybuilders. Now she started paying attention to her body posture while lifting weights at work.

In one of her interviews, Sangeeta told that her children showed her on the phone and told her what bodybuilders do? I see that he lifts weights, a lot of weights but his method is very different. I also started copying them.- Sangeeta

She even built a gym at home with the help of wood and bricks. She used to do her practice here after work. Actually, someone had told her that good money can be earned from this work. In such a situation, for the good upbringing of the children, she thought that if she have to lift the weight, then why not lift it properly.


Many challenges

Sangeeta's hard work was slowly showing its colors. Now she started getting support from people, and the owner of a gym gave her permission to do workouts without a single rupee.

But to become a bodybuilder, not only gym but diet is also required.

Financially, it was not easy for Sangeeta to follow the diet prescribed by the trainer. In such a situation, she started growing vegetables in her own backyard. Made paneer at home, and started eating pulses. She would also feed this food to her children.

With only 500 rupees, she takes care of nutritious and proper diet for herself.


How people started taunting

In our male-dominated society, women are not able to achieve anything easily. The people of the neighborhood started making fun of her.

Some say that she is trying to become a man, while some say that she is doing arbitrariness after the departure of her husband.

But it is a matter to think, she was doing her duty. She was wishing for a good upbringing for her children, so didn't the taunters know this?

As a parent, she is the only one for her children, then if she is taking any step for the better future of her children, then how can anyone have the right to call her wrong.


Won gold in the bodybuilding championship

Sangeeta never paid attention to anyone's words. She continued to do workouts.

The result of same was seen when Sangeeta, one of the nine female contestants, participated in the South Indian Bodybuilding Championship organized by the Indian Fitness Federation on 11 January 2022. There, ahead of the country's famous female bodybuilders, she won the gold medal in her name for the very first time.

Apart from the gold medal, she also received honors, awards, and prize money.

Now people have started taking training from her. They are now hopeful that their children will be able to get a good upbringing.

Those who used to make various comments on her, they also believe in her courage.

Sangeeta says in one of her interviews that when a woman steps into a male-dominated field, she feels that perhaps we have come to take away her supremacy, whereas it is not so. I've lifted weights my whole life, but I didn't know then that this was an area of weight lifting.
