00:00I have won death three times.
00:19I was having fever. I had no taste.
00:23I went to my house physician and he was surprised and asked me why I was still here.
00:30He said I should get admission immediately because my oxygen level was also going down.
00:39The plasma and medicine that I had was not available.
00:43So they somehow managed to get it for me.
00:50My sister shouted from there, she was shouting,
00:54I was on fire, I was on fire, I was on fire.
00:57I mean, there was fire all around me.
01:12It was a trauma for me because 15 patients in front of me were burnt to death.
01:19So I regret that I could not save their lives.
01:24They don't even know if their son is alive or dead.
01:39I couldn't come, I couldn't get up.
01:41My dad is 77 years old. He has done everything for me.
01:54There was a terrible turbulence.
02:03The weather was bad, so the flight ups and downs kept happening.
02:07The main turbulence, which is called a shock, was of one second.
02:12And in that one second, my dad's life was over.
02:24When the turbulence was happening, at that time, I had decided that it was over, my life was over.
02:38Even if there is no God, I have to save myself.
02:40This is the message for everyone, no matter what happens, keep fighting.
