Epilepsy is a disorder that puts people in a condition where they are not in control of the nerve cell activity in the brain. The aftereffect of it is the restrictions that it puts on your everyday life. Right from making everyday plans to thinking about the future, people start planning your life in and around epilepsy. But Sharmishta was not willing to bog down by the same. In this video from the REAL STEEL series, sponsored by Tata Steel, we have Sharmishta R. Somayaji, taking us through the way Epilepsy changed the course of her life.
Sharmishta is a planning freak and from the very beginning of her career, she focused on getting work done with a clock as a company. Often times, she stressed herself to an extent where it became too much for her brain to take. As an inevitable result, she got a seizure one day and got diagnosed with Epilepsy.
Her life changed drastically after this and she had to bring massive changes in her lifestyle. Right from cutting down on her prep hours to taking proper sleep breaks and indulging in hobbies more often, the process slowly helped her get better along with medication and therapy. And the manager that Sharmishta is, it was a natural choice for her to think of a management degree going forward in her life. At XLRI, Sharmishta now is extra careful about her health and wants to take on one challenge at a time.
Tata Steel salutes the fighter in Sharmishta, who is on her way to make a mark for herself despite the hiccups.
