A typical train journey in India can be a numbing experience: all the hutments and shanties, along both sides of the tracks, where people live with basic facilities.
Sixteen-year-old Nisar Ahmed belongs to Bada Basti of Azadpur, Delhi, one such colony. His mother is a domestic help, his father a rickshaw-puller. But Nisar had a gift that his school spotted early. He can run. Among nine others chosen from across the country, Nisar will be soon heading to train at the Racer’s Track Club in Kingston, Jamaica, where the sporting legend Usain Bolt was trained.
