Young Om Landge is 10 years old, a bright child fond of cricket and painting. He studies in Santutai English Medium school on the outskirts of Pune.

At the age of 5 he was diagnosed with extra hepatic portal venous obstruction (EHPVO) at a Children's speciality in Pune. This is a  condition wherein the main blood supply to the liver, the portal vein, is blocked and replaced by bypass channels, some of which develop in the food pipe.  These can rupture and cause life threatening blood vomits.
