There are two sides to every story. During the last few days, a lot of his friends had requested monetary help for his treatment on mainstream media and social media. As someone who also posted a request, I would like to clarify a few things. Harish, whom I have known for the last 40 years, hails from my town. For us, he is our dear friend Hari.
