Thorny Life is a heartfelt memoir that chronicles Gurinder Abrol's life journey from birth to the present day. Born on June 9, 1964, to Sikh parents at Dudley Road Hospital in Birmingham, UK, Gurinder was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just fifteen months old. This condition left him partially paralyzed on his left side, with no use of his left arm and a noticeable limp. Despite these challenges, he has led a fulfilling life and achieved much.

Over the past eleven years, Gurinder's life has taken another turn following a diagnosis of early signs of Multiple Sclerosis, which has left him wheelchair-bound. Yet, his story is one of resilience, hope, and determination. Living life to the fullest within his limitations, Thorny Life is an inspiring testament to courage, acceptance, and the enduring human spirit.
