"Dear selva (age 14), world is laughing at you about way you look, because of your handicap, lack of an eye. Where ever you go people stare at you or mock you. Every night you cry about it. Sometimes ask God "why me? Why did you take my eye?" But don't worry selva. In exactly 10 years you will write and direct a blockbuster hit that will change your life forever. same world will keep looking at you but not with mocking derision but with respect and miration.

In next ten years you will make movies that will go down in tamizh cinema history as trend setting cult classics. People will call you a "genius". When people look at you now, y don't see that eye that has haunted you for so much of your young life. y see a man who me a difference to ir lives with his movies. So dear boy. Be brave. If God takes something precious from you he will give it back to you in abundance. So cheer up. Smile for photographs (I'm not able to find a single one of you smiling) because in years to come re will be many pictures being taken of you!

Love yourself,

Director Selvaraghavan (age 45)" (sic).
