About UsBalan was born in a village called Thiruchendur, which is situated on the southern tip of Tamil Nadu seashore. His parents belong to a caste to which all the social rights are refused. They were daily wage earners and the food and clothes they receive were actually already used pieces and the leftover eatables (food) of affluent classes of society. Under these conditions Balan and his family fulfill their basic needs of life.Under the government’s primary education system Balan got an opportunity to study only up to 8th standard, in his life. The age-long social atrocities and the slavish mentality, which was forcing many poor families in his village to undergo in human life style, made a deep-seated angry and humiliation on Balan. Balan took a vow that he would not do any work which affects his self-respect. With just a piece of dress he was wearing Balan took a train to Chennai of course without even procuring the train ticket. In fact Balan did not told his departure to his parents and other village people.Balan arrived at Egmore Railway station in Chennai in the year 1981. In fact it was a complete new experience for him. The life was so busy that no one is bothered about his or here neighbor. Hectic business activity and the huge traffic movement made Balan to understand that he had arrived on a new world. Another problem is there were no relatives and friends for him in Chennai. He knocked the gates of several travel companies and travel hotels pleading for job. After knocking the doors of more than 100 companies he realized in and around Egmore that no owner will employ a person like him Because of lack of any one’s recommendation… So unless some one, who knows Balan gives an recommendation letter he would not get a job. |
