Rohit Gupta, 32, who suffered Traumatic Brain Injury, was in coma for six months with bleak chances of survival. But he defied all odds, recovered miraculously, authored a book, and is helping create awareness about TBI, stigma and social isolation. Read about his inspiring journey.

I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in April 2011 when I was 21 years old. I was in college studying law and full of dreams for the future, when my life changed overnight…not  just for me but for my whole family.

What happened

I was intoxicated after returning from a party in Goa. I was sitting on the parapet of the second floor of my hotel room. It was about 20-25 feet high. Suddenly I fell headlong and was knocked unconscious. I lay unconscious for 3-4 hours until a security guard saw me. I was immediately rushed to a local hospital.
