He said that there came a moment when he started drowning but even then, kept his eyes wide open. During that moment, he saw the lifeguard thrusting a pole into the pool, for him to hold on to. As he held the pole, the guard pulled him out, as the Major held on to his life. Major Sengar shares that till this day, he still remembers the feeling of holding that pole in his palms and the sense of calm that followed.

Addressing the incident, Major Deependra Sengar said that this was his ‘magic wand’ experience. He said that the pole was like the magic wand that saved his life. The Major said that he later realized that the template of life never changes. “Every now and then life throws me into the pool and a helpful wand appears from somewhere, almost magically. Be it a situation in work, in personal life, or with loved ones,” he said. He also said that he never stops looking for this magic wand, every day, in every situation of his life.
