TJ Joseph: A year of sorrow after attack

MUVATTUPUZHA: T J Joseph, the teacher of Thodupuzha Newman College, who was attacked by fundamentalists exactly a year ago on July 4 is still having a harrowing time.
With no source of income, Joseph is finding it hard to make both ends meet. Joseph has to take care of his two children, wife and an aged mother. With repeated surgeries and intensive physiotherapy exercises, his condition has improved and his left hand has recovered 70 per cent. But his right hand is still paralysed. During the past one year, he has learnt to write and also to drive his car with his left hand. Joseph said his rebirth was possible owing to the timely financial help of friends and wellwishers.
