LUCKNOW, India: An Indian who became an overnight star when an image of a policeman kicking his typewriter went viral has said he is fed up with all the attention – and just wants to go back to typing letters. 

The photograph of the officer harassing Kishan Kumar, who makes a living as a streetside typist in the northern city of Lucknow, provoked an outpouring of sympathy from Indians outraged at his treatment.
