Another IM moment of truth.

I'd been idle for longer than my age.

Remembering.

From the rediff interview, the lion in winter:

I have some problems of privacy in Kerala. People come up to me constantly -- it's sort of a celebrity status that is hard for me to deal with. But it's a humbling experience too. I find all kinds of people come and talk to me -- not just the middle class. Even when I travel by train, people come and tell me, 'Vijayan saar', how much they enjoy my work.

How very true, Vijayan saar. How much we enjoyed your work. Blessed we are, for what you have given us.

I'm sure using the image without permission will be okay with DC Books. I'm sure they'll forgive it for the fanboyism, which I suspect is a trait we share.
