beatings now. ‘We’ can see everything. Even then nothing of the
sort comes to ‘us’ now. I had experienced my share of the
beatings before Gnan. How many of these beatings can there
be? Surely, there must be some kind of calculation for this in the
world, should there not? After having united (welded) a father
and son who were at odds with each other, they would become

others’ or tries to mend other people’s problems, and so he
‘breaks’ down with others in the process. All these are weak
states. I will never break down. I have never broken down with
