NDTV
The young boy repeatedly declined filmmaker Vinod Kapri's offers for a ride home, as he trains for the army in the dead of night, racing home from a shift at McDonald's, following which he plans to cook dinner for himself and his older brother.
A young man is seen sprinting purposefully down a Noida road at midnight in a video that racked up thousands of views within minutes of being posted on social media on Sunday evening. Despite being soaked in sweat, the runner repeatedly turns down filmmaker and author Vinod Kapri's offers to give him a ride home.

Dubbing the boy's reasons for politely declining a lift "pure gold," the filmmaker chronicles his interaction with 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra in an inspiring clip, as he manages to progressively impress Mr Kapri with every new piece of information he reveals about his resolve to run 10 km in the dead of night.
In the video, Mr Kapri is filming from his car, as it rides alongside the young man, who says he's running home from work after his shift at a McDonald's. Despite being offered a lift, Mr Mehra insists that he prefers to run home because he doesn't get time to run otherwise.
When prodded further on why he's running at all at this late hour, he responds, "To join the army."
