Sringeri Srinivas is notorious for the very deep, angry frown on his forehead. Once he starts grimacing, everything and everyone around him flees. But one day, when he is out looking after his banana plants, something unexpected happens that makes the whole town look at him in a new light. And I wonder if that makes Sringeri Srinivas look at life in a new way.
