The young mountaineer, Jahanavi spoke in her session "I started mountaineering when I was eight years old. My father is my teacher,” she said. “I took mountaineering seriously after I climbed the mountain in Uttarakhand which is 6,000 ft. I also learned Paragliding and Water Ballooning.
In my opinion no mountain is too high," she said. "We have to compete with ourself to achieve success in life. Mountaineers should maintain fitness from head to toe,” said the youngster.
“Mountaineering is not a sport in India, due to this we facing many problems in facilities," she added on the condition of the sport in the country. Born blind, CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, Srikanth Bolla said, "When I was young, I felt lonely because of my disability. Later, I decided to create my own future,” he said.
“If we have a luxurious life then we won't create anything. We do new things when we face hardship. We should fight the loneliness of poverty," said Bolla. "People can't understand the difference between sight and vision. Sight is for eyes and vision is for mind. I faced many problems before I reached where I am today. Each one of us has an equal opportunity to create a better world to live," he said.
