Alwar came to Chennai at the age of 15 and started working as lightboy in a studio before he began selling books on the street.

 

Despite the fact that he was illiterate, Alwar knew all his books and and authors. His love for books not only made him popular among the readers, even some of the most famous literary figures in South India who used to visit him at his shop
