22 year - old Ripu Bhatia suffers from meningococcal septicaemia. He was diagnosed in July of last year and the disease quickly took his arms and legs.

Ripu had been learning to play the guitar but, he says, it wasn't coming easy to him. The loss of his limbs should have totally ended his guitar playing days but, Ripu refused to give up. He modified his cell phone holder and began to play, just to prove to himself that he could do it.

His determination has inspired many others and that has provided Ripu with an unintended bit of satisfaction. He said:

"What I found particularly frustrating was the fact that I had never achieved anything of significance with music, and that I was never able to show people how far I had come." "It has been very humbling and I’m glad that I’ve been able to help some people. At the moment, playing guitar is my main concern – and if I can generate positivity into other people’s lives while doing it, I have succeeded in what I set out to do."

Amazing.
