Bharathan one of the inmates said that the day they soaked the paddy, boiled them, packed the paddy into bags every activity they did as a group he found as a little thing, which made him happy. When he saw sprouts in the beds of mushroom he realized that he and his friends had done a great job and considered it a great achievement.
