HYDERABAD : K Aravind Nikhil’s life is an embodiment of the phrase ‘living on a knife-edge’. Aravind is a regular 25-year-old cheerful, IT professional with dreams of a good life. Until he says one would never know that he suffers from haemophilia, an incurable congenital genetic bleeding disorder.
Aravind’s life is dotted with many ‘near misses’. Since the age of six months, he has suffered from spontaneous internal bleeds, i.e., bleeds without any injury to joints, muscles, hands or other parts.
