Though destined to live in darkness, the ability to overcome obstacles is what makes Shivanand Harikant different from the rest of his ilk. Born visually challenged in a fisherman's family at Horabhag in Kumta taluk, the 35-year-old ekes out a living by catching fish in the sea. He rides a bicycle as well as a bike; climbs coconut trees with ease, and is an expert swimmer.
