Early Years Life imposed a big challenge on Vikram at the age of 7 when he met with an electrical accident, which led to amputation of both my upper limbs. But his family and him met this challenge with great courage.He not only overcome the physical challenge but also has gone-on to achieving many remarkable feats, like writing with foot, operating the laptop, shaving, swimming, to name a very few. My zest for life has inspired many and has reinforced the power of the human spirit in peoples mind.
