Selvi and I.. - Publication corrections

10.03.08 (1:26 pm) [edit]

In the Ananda Vikatan story about me and selvi, a few facts were left out and there were few misquotes I never shared with the reporter who interviewed me. 1. I never said I wanted to claim selvi. 2. I never said I had only Rs.500 and paid it from my pocket. The money was not mne and was given to me by Aurelio. 3. Selvi does not call me 'Mother' or 'Sister'. The facts which were left out: 1. While rescuing Selvi, two of my friends Gnanavel and Shankar were equally putting in efforts and they were not acknowledged by AV. I was so sorry for this. 2. The girl grew up in Baby Sara home and they were very much the takecarers of the baby. It was they, who gave her a new life - while I only rescued the girl with my friends. I keep getting calls from people who misunderstood that I have adopted Selvi. No, not at this moment. Moreover, I am so sorry for Mr. Karthik who is upset over the story misfacts. I have previously and clearly have stated everything in this blog. If the media gives a different story, I can not be responsible.

I appreciate Ananda Vikatan for their positive portrayals on Transgender womne. They are very respectful publication. Sometimes the press adds spice to some news ad articles. They did the same to me.

Thats the bad side of AV.. Yes, they just add some extra news just like a spice to the dish... I face the same problem though.. But thats a big mess in whole story. They just tie up a new story that overlaps the original.. BTW nice article and i shocked to see the misinterpretation as i read ur blog periodically... And i guess that AV's editing...

The press always add something, you are not responsible, see if the press will do a follow up story.

The story caused me mixed feelings of happiness and embarassment. I only wish the media always pursues the truth.
