The Hindu
Two brothers, who were rescued from the street, have settled in children’s shelter
Barely weeks into his stay at a children’s shelter in the city, nine-year-old Arjun (name changed)has developed a special liking for the place and doesn’t want to go back home now.
“I like it over here... We ate pasta in the morning. Sometimes, we get Maggi too,” he said.
Arjun and his younger brother, who were ragpickers, were rescued in an operation coordinated by the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights two weeks ago. They were presented before the Child Welfare Committee and have been sent to the children’s home.

Before entering cinema, the artistic life of Malayalam actor Sreenivasan was shaped on the theatre stage, with Thrikkarippur emerging as one of the most vibrant centres of his early journey. It was from this fertile training ground that the artiste—who concealed layers of social thought beneath humour—paved his way into cinema. Thrikkarippur played a decisive role in this formative phase. A committed theatre activist, Sreenivasan formed the drama troupe Ghanashyama and made Thrikkarippur its base of operations.
