Talent does not need any resources. This has been proved true by Bikram Bhattarai of Sama Government Secondary School (East Sikkim), Sikkim. In the 10th class examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Bikram wrote all his papers with his feet. He got 72 percent marks.
16-year-old Bikram was born without hands. Bikram never considered this as his weakness. He considered his feet as hands and did many amazing things which are difficult for others.
Not having hands was never considered a weakness
Bikram, son of Januka and Narapati Bhattarai, residents of Sama Lingdam village, never considered not having hands as his weakness. Bikram, who appeared in the 10th class science exam, said, “I am happy with my marks. I want to become an electrical engineer.” Happy with Bikram’s marks, father Narapati said that despite all the obstacles, he will try his best to fulfill his son’s dream.
