"I do not feel sad and I am satisfied with what I am today. I have learned from my sister Anjali, I used to notice her when she used to read and write. Even my teacher helped me in learning," said Bhattarai

"He faced many problems because he doesn't have both hands and it was very difficult for him to move. Even his grandmother, mother and sister had a difficult time managing the situation. He learned from his sister how to write. His teacher told me that though it was difficult but the child is very good in studies," said Narapati Bhattrai, Bikram's Father

Bikram did not let his dreams succumb to difficulties but rather used them as a ladder to reach his goals with hard work and perseverance.
