Meet My friends series: Dr. Sakthivel!

Meet Mr. Sakthivel! True to the first part of his name, he understands that the real power is in feminine form in this world, at his home and in his whatsApp groups. The second part of his name, in Tamil, denotes a weapon. Though divine, the weapon can qualify to be as dangerous as any other sharp edged armory. However, the man himself is not armed. In fact, his own bodily arms are used only for folding to extend respect to others and clapping against other’s achievements, however much silly or insignificant they may be.

The man does not own stocks of the commercial group ‘Lodha’ in Mumbai. He is not a known authority in the literary skills of ‘Tamil’. But, when those two words are put together, he is the single most authority in the township. Anywhere, if someone talks about Lodha and Tamil or Tamizhar, Dr. Sakthivel’s name will inevitably precede or follow the core conversation. Yes. The man is a doctor. One of the very rare occasions, Dr. Sakthivel will get angry is when he is not called as Dr. Sakthivel (People close to him claim that this change in behavior happened only after he watched a Tamil movie called ‘Sathi Leelavathi’) Dr. Sakthivel is not a modern day Krishna, but clearly is the savior of ‘damsel in distress’ and his status in the WhatsApp groups run by him almost equals to demigod… Meet Dr. Sakthivel!
