I was browsing through social media one day and came across the video of this gentleman who I knew very little about. Purely from his appearance, he came across as someone who was in his late 50s. He was dressed in a neatly ironed kurta, a bright golden microphone in his and singing away to glory.

It was clear from his pronunciation that he was not a native Hindi speaker, but it was also clear from the brightness in his eyes that he didn’t care about such insignificant things as pronunciation. He was singing with his heart and that’s all that mattered.

It was that video that got me intrigued about Dr. Selvarajan Rajeswaran - or as he likes to call himself, Dr. Waran.

In this discussion with him, filled with numerous instances of deep, devil may care fits of laughter, I try to understand his long and illustrious career from being a veterinary doctor to a manager to a long career followed by going back to school as a Ph.D. student and a professor.

I try to get his view of the vast changes he has seen in his lifetime and how he thinks the future will like shape up as.

Overall though this is the story of someone who has remained a passionate young man, no matter what his age.

I hope you laugh and enjoy as much as I did, listening to Dr. Waran’s simple story!
