CHENNAI : Saikrishnan, 33, from Triplicane will be going to Shizuoka, Japan, to represent India at the 7th International Abilympics (Olympics equivalent for the differently-abled), in November 2007.

Mr. Saikrishnan, who suffered a polio attack when he three, is today a hardware engineer with HCL Infosystems. His hobbies are photography and Ham radio.

He won the gold medal at the South Zone for photography in January 2006. At the National Abilympics Association of India held in February 2007 at New Delhi, he won the gold again.

Although his travel and stay are organised by the authorities, he needs sponsors for his camera kit and laptop. Those interested in helping him may call 94441 64245 or email p_saikrishnan@yahoo.com
