520    Ashok Rajamani was twenty-five years old when his brain 
       exploded. It happened suddenly, a random act triggering an
       aneurysm, the result of a genetic flaw that had lain in 
       wait since his birth. It was a terrifying experience that 
       left him with continuing physical and emotional problems, 
       but unlike so many people who suffer from brain injury, 
       Ashok was lucky. Not only did he survive the catastrophic 
       event, but in only a matter of years he has recovered 
       enough to live once again on his own, and to resume, at 
       least partially, the lifestyle he had previously enjoyed. 
       For Ashok, it has been a journey of discovery, of having 
       to relearn even the most basic things, of piecing together
       a past, of reclaiming a life, of dealing with the rage 
       that results from such a traumatic injury, and of coping 
       with the societal prejudice inflicted on those with 
       handicaps.
