Hostel ragging was unfortunately very common back when I was at college and my batchmates (those in the same year as me) were being ragged. During all of this one of my batchmate’s who had epilepsy suddenly dropped to the floor and started shaking in what turned out to be a generalised tonic-clonic seizure. We rushed him to the hospital

8th December, 6 am: I enter a house on which I am working and plummet 7metres down an open and unguarded stairwell. I land on my head with no safety helmet to cushion the fall. I’m comatose for three weeks, have a severe brain injury and life has changed in that blink of an eye. Hello, epilepsy.
