Full version of the Facebook post
Farewell to dear comrade...
It was I who mimicked comrade's body language for the first time in Cinemala.
Malayalis all over the world accepted it... I was also able to meet comrade in person once. That day, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Among the people who mimic me, I like you the most."
It was a moment of pride for me.
Later, he asked me with a smile, "What do you get for mimicking me?"
I said, "I get 2500 rupees."
"So that's all I'm worth?"
He laughed saying that...
A tearful tribute to VS, my favourite communist leader.
