Tamil Nadu is superior culturally and historically. I have been to Tamil Nadu many times. I have great respect for Tamil Nadu. My dream of being born in Tamil Nadu has now come true with my appointment as a Chennai High Court judge.
Lawyers and judges are the two wheels of the chariot. The two wheels must work together for the administration of justice. There will be no fear or discrimination in my work in the administration of justice. I like to show action rather than speech.
