Until lately, twenty-year-old Kalaiselvan* used to be stopped via police each and every time he roamed the city streets late within the night. Everything new about him, say a new haircut or ear piercings, used to be noticed with suspicion, given his historical past of peddling ganja via his teenagers. The scenario has, on the other hand, changed now, with police going out of their way to get Kalaiselvan a task as a building employee earning no longer lower than ₹eight,000 a month.
