PLEASE HAVE A CASUAL GLANCE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT

 Rev Dr NK Prasad, Faculty, KUT Seminary, Kannammoola, wanted people to know of my book 

A Walk Through The Rain 

He arranged to display the book at the CSI Christ Church on 15thFebruary, Sunday last.

Unfortunately the response was not good.

 I wrote to Prasad Achen 

"Grateful to you for deputing our representative to Christ Church on the 15thFebruary, Sunday last.

I did feel the response in terms of sales had been poor.

But I am happy, the book was on display during and after the English and Malayalam Worships.

Personally, I know I do quite a lot of window-shopping. We go around and observe what is on offer. We show no inclination to purchase anything at that point. 

Later on another point of time we return to that and lap it up.

There is a textile shop Janalaksmi at Safalyam, Palayam.

Once, as we were passing by, the owner, a very young man, invited us to step in.

He said in Malayalam, "Veruthe onnu nokkial mathi. Nokkunnathinu onnum tharenda."

We did have a casual look at the stock on display. We went away after that without buying anything. 

But, later on, we have visited the shop several times and have picked up what we needed from there. 

It's the human tendency.

But back to the book. 

As I stood there at the Church after the English Worship savouring the tea that was served, MsAshwati, sought me out with the book and requested me to autograph it. Her husband was with her - a former LtGeneral in the Indian Army. They are our neighbours at Kannammoola.. Her father had been supporting KUTS, when he was around.

At that moment I felt very happy, I wrote the book. I was still more happy, I could see it going on sale at my own Church, unworthy as I am.

Grateful once again to you dear Achen for supporting me."
