Hello, my name is Kappava, I am from Kadalore. I have been drinking since I was a little boy. My mother and I got married without her knowledge. She was my only daughter. She came with me from Madalore. She told me not to talk to my mother. She told me that she would cry and I was scared. This is my life. He was the only one who died from drinking. When I started working, people would say that this is how I should be. People would say that I should be a slave. I cannot accept that. I am not able to accept that this is the way we are today. I am just beating the person who died. Now I am working in a company. I work in a company. Before I started working in a company, I was a part of Anithindya Janayagam Aadharasangam. I was given the courage and confidence to study engineering. This is the reason for Anithindya Janayagam Aadharasangam. The purpose of this movement is to prevent and stop the violence in Tamil Nadu.
