Breaking News! This news should generate passion for the life among all and teach us to live despite all odds. 23-year-old Supratim Dutta, an HCL Employee fought death for 7.5 hours and finally came alive. The incident occurred on July 12, 2008, when Supratim was going to his Gurgaon office in the office car. Interestingly, it was his last day in office, as he was supposed to join another company from next month.
The driver of the car lost control and hit the Metro barricades on Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road in Delhi. The impact was such that a five-feet-long and 2 inches wide iron angle pierced through the bonnet, then the dashboard and impaled Supratim. But Supratim did not lose hope. He called his mother, cousin and colleagues on mobile phone to inform them about his accident. His colleague Saurabh Aggarwal was the first to reach the spot. He, with the help of other people, managed to cut the rod and rushed Supratim to AIIMS Trauma Centre.
By God’s grace, Supratim Dutta’s spine was not damaged and his body movements remain intact. The doctors do not see any further danger to his life although they did not rule out infection. The surgery was rarest of rare, as the object was not sharp and it was pierced through the chest. It was Supratim’s will power, God’s blessings and Doctors’ efforts that gave him a new lease of life. Death is finally beaten……..

Braveheart Supratim’s BATTLE FOR LIFE
If Supratim Dutta’s family is to be believed, it was only the 23-year-old’s incredible will power and trust in the almighty that helped him survive the ordeal of being impaled with a fivefeet-long iron angle. But the young IT specialist’s troubles are not fully over yet, say doctors.
Seven of his vital organs suffered serious damage in the accident and it will be a few months before he can lead a normal life again. “He is a fighter. Right after the accident, with the angle still inside him, he called his friends and us for help. He did not lose consciousness even once. It was all because of his strong will and urge to live. Tolerating such severe pain for almost two hours is extraordinary. Though the doctors are doing everything to ensure his full recovery, he is still under observation. They are not clear how much time it will take for him to get back to normal,” said Supratim’s father, Sukumar Dutta.
After his surgery, despite being in acute pain, Supratim tried to cheer his family by cracking jokes and inquiring about the media coverage of his accident. “Even when we were all crying, he was laughing. The way he is recovering is commendable. He is a young guy who always worked towards his goals but never forgot to enjoy himself. After the surgery when a doctor asked him how he was feeling, he said, ‘I just have a sore throat,’” said Supratim’s cousin
Sandeep Kumar.
Sukumar recalled the time he moved to Delhi from Jamshedpur with his son in 2002. “We came to Delhi in 2002. My wife and daughter joined us in 2004. Though I always knew that my son wasw brilliant, confident and courageous, his maturity and iron-will is unbelievable,” said the proud father.
Added Sandeep: “For the last few days he has been smiling despite his agony. He is the most loved among his friends, family and colleagues. Recently, while talking to me, he told me about his plans to change jobs and further his career. Though he had resigned from HCL, the company has been very supportive and is paying for his treatment.” But money is not the only thing Supratim needs right now. “We are trying not to remind him about the accident. We all are now waiting for him to recover and cherish the new life he has got,” said Sukumar.
