Having spent more than three decades as an assistant at the Veterinary Hospital in Palakkad, South India, Muralidharan knows everything about the place—from where the doctors are to where the rickshaw drivers congregate outside the clinic. I met him one fine morning and asked if he would like to contribute to the Movember project. Flummoxed at first as to why mustaches have suddenly become special, he gladly agreed when I told him about my work. The Movember movement has hopefully acquired a new campaigner.
