HARISH VARMAA

“It was not that there was no good human being among the elites of my place. But their ideas of correcting the mistakes were akin to applying perfume to cover up the smell of a deeply rotten wound. They could never understand the humiliation and social ostracism. Only a person subjected to humiliation can think of performing a surgery to get rid of the gangrene and not indulge in a cosmetic cover-up. This idea dawned on me during those three years of music class in Thirukkuvalai,’ says he.”
