CHENNAI: "When I got the Padma Shri award in 2003, I think, I was the first person to have received that award from the weavers' community," he told news agency ANI on Sunday.

"At the time in 2003, I got this honour because of the weavers' efforts, quality... and our workers' sales ability. I submit this honour to my weavers and workers," he added.

He inherited the popular silk saree showroom, Nalli Silks, from his grandfather, Nalli Chinnasami Chetty, in 1958 and is currently a partner.

Where is everyone?

We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on?
