The other residents drown themselves in the soulful music and forget their sorrows for a little while. This is a regular affair at the shelter when the television is not switched on. However Mr. Elangovan, who was rescued from Marina recently, is not just a talented singer, he has an M.Phil in Tamil and has acted in the Tamil movie Cuckoo, which was released in 2014. He now wants to become a playback singer so that he can fend for himself.
