"Balasubramanian" is his father's first name, which Mr.Senthil uses as his last name. Mr Balasubramanian (who is senthil's father) will have a name like: Balasubramanian Paramasivan, where "Paramasivan" is the first name of Senthil's grandfather. (Paramasivan is a hypothetical name here). Such a Father's-first-name-as-last-name is a very common thing in Tamil Nadu, India. Some people use the full firstname of father as the last name, while some other just use the first letter, as it might cause name conflicts. For instance, if a postal-mail is sent to "Mr. Balasubramanian" then the postman will want to deliver it to Senthil's father and not Senthil.
