The Day My Brain Exploded A True Story

Ashok Rajamani, a first generation Indian-American, was just beginning to enjoy his life as a gainfully employed bachelor in Manhattan when POP! - a hidden and unsuspected genetic trigger was touched and his brain exploded. That he survived at all was not a sure thing, but even more surprising is that he not only came through all the operations and the re-education process (his memory was basically wiped out and he had to re-learn even the most basic things), but he has recovered to the point that he is able to tell his own story, and has done so with wit, insight, and a smattering of rage. Today he is on a mission to help others less fortunate than he, those who have suffered brain damage whether through aneurysm or injury through accident.

Ashok Rajamani lives in New York City. His work has appeared in dozens of publications, including Scholars & Rogues, South Asian Review, Danse Macabre, and 3:AM Magazine. This is his first book.
