Shilpa experienced her personal tsunami in March 2003 when meningitis struck her from nowhere. It sent her into a deep coma for 40 days and then waist down paralysis for 2 ½ years.
In this book, which was her personal diary that got published, she shares her thoughts on family as her support system and all that it took to make her bounce back to life. Shilpa shares what helped her in her recovery, be it a sense of gratitude, a sense of humor or simply building a mental wall to ward off negativity.
It is an account of a person who has been to the other side and then came back to celebrate life.
