    From Ouch to Oops: Just Don’t Give Up, by RamG Vallath, is a witty narrative of the author’s story of reinventing himself after falling prey to an incurable autoimmune illness.

    Summary of the Book

    RamG Vallath is struck down by a hopeless autoimmune disorder while he is doing extremely well in his career. When the symptoms of the illness starts growing, he will be asked to quit his job. It makes his life worse, as the medicines prescribed are expensive and have side effects too. Even when the medication is ineffective, RamG keeps his spirits high and remains to be the one to cheer both his team and his family. Finally, he gets treated in the United States and his disorder is completely cured. Inspired by the whole episode, RamG becomes a motivational speaker, mentor and consultant.

    About RamG Vallath

    RamG Vallath was born in Kerala. He had an up-and-coming corporate career, having the experience of serving as the COO of Airtel and the director of Dell and HP until he was medically analysed with an autoimmune disorder. It affected his nerves and slowly enfeebled his muscles by the time he was 33. The following decade, while dealing with his failing health, he unrelentingly took complex jobs, still being the most cheerful and humorous person wherever he went. Finally, he found a potential cure for his disorder by undergoing a clinical trial in Chicago. His inspiring talk, Find Your Own Oops in Life, has been inspiring thousands of corporate employees and has also made them laugh heartily.

    supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

    An extremely inspiring and motivating book, I remember being hooked to it on my flight from Bangalore to Delhi and finishing it in 2 hours straight! RamG's style of writing is very chatty and epigrammatic. From his experiences in college and work to the point when he was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease, one cannot stop admiring his courage and conviction. For youngsters like me, facing a quarter life crisis, this book definitely motivated me to give my 100 percent to whatever I do i...

    Self belief and willingness to fight against all odds is all that matters in life

    When the going is good little do we realise that a disability of any kind can ruin the world around you. RamG's forthright assessment of his situation, his tremendous will power and tenacity to turn things around is a story lucidly told with a decent spread of humour, camouflaging the intense pain and anguish he and his near and dear ones have been through during this ordeal.
    I salute you RamG for showing us how to stay positive amidst all the negative stuff happening around you. It has been...

    Heartwarming and Inspirational

    Ouch to Oops is an easy read, and a page turner. The true story of Ram G Vallath, the book is an inspiring story of how a young man faced adversity with grit, chutzpah, and a lot of self deprecating wit. It is a honest tale written straight from the heart. The author has a wry sense of humour and the chapters about his childhood and college days at IIT Madras elicit quite a few chuckles. The chapters on how Ram G deals with his cards dealt to him by life are particularly inspiring. There...
