Hariharan Nair, a widely acclaimed musician known to his fans as Hari, and the founder of Sariga Sangeetha Academy, is a living example of the spirit of Helen Keller, expounded in the above lines. He is a hero cast in the same mould.
Over thirty years ago the unexpected blow of destiny, all but killed this young and aspiring musician, a gifted harmonium player, to whom music was religion, and who dreamed big. He lost both his arms in a freak accident.
Thus ended the blossoming career of a brilliant artist; or so it appeared to everyone except Hari. At the age of 24 such a setback would have devastated any one but the heroic Hari.
