the CSIMadhya Kerala Diocese Treasury of Knowledge Literary Award - 2025
for the best book on Literature (General)
was presented to ABRAHAM JACOB.
for the book
A WALK THROUGH THE RAIN
I forwarded the happy news to K Rajeevan who had served as the SBI Pensioners' Association, Kerala
"What follows is pretty long.
It's on an award.
If you are interested, if you have the time and patience, please have a look. Or just ignore.
For me, at my age 75 onto 76 it's a big thing. Especially when you are recognised that has never happened in life ever before. That too in the presence of a mammoth assemblage of people.
It was at Kottayam.

It was a great emotional moment for me and as well as for my dear ones

Rajeevan replied
"My dear Abraham Jacob.
I am immensely happy and feel proud about you for your remarkable achievement of being the recepient of the Award for best book on literature . My hearty congratulations to you.
Long long before I had the opportunity to feel the pulse of your most impressive and eloquent expressions in our "companion". Hence no surprise in this value addition. However, I sincerely feel that this should have reached you much much before.
My special compliments for the Title of the book ' A walk through the rain '.
Wishing you more and more laudable laurels in days ahead.
Regards
Rajeevan"

It prompted me to respond
"Dear Rajeevan,
Thank you for the compliments and reading me much earlier.
There are events in your life where things just happen out of the blue.
When the book was published, I never thought it would catch the attention of anyone at all.
The award was beyond even my dreams.
The presentation was spectacular. Imagine the feelings when I accepted it in front of a mammoth assemblage of 10000 plus.
Later, the next Sunday, a friend at the Church queried, "How did you become a writer, the way you were into a world of figures whole of your life."
I must say life takes inexplicable turns.
36 editions of Companion had built my prowess in editing. I am grateful to you for entrusting me with the opportunity and for believing in me.
Each and every person I have met have taught me quite a lot. You are placed among the top in the list.
I keep on writing. My blog grows. Quality is what I stress. I edit several times before the blogs are published. Even then apprehension is within me.
It's like I closed the introduction to the book - A writer will write. It's not for him to self-evaluate.
The Principal of the KUTSeminary was telling me that each of the articles was conveying a message.
And Rev Dr Santy S Paul,Faculty there, conveyed to me that through what I write I was making people to walk with me.
As regards the title, the book has a poem with the title. The poem is a bit long
My brother after reading it was telling me, he felt he was walking through the rain.
Well, this has gone on for long. Beg your pardon for taking away your precious time.
I don't usually go off like this.
But we knew each other well. And we were good friends.
Perhaps it must have made me unleash.
Thank you once again for your message.
Regards to you and every one at home
