On Sunday the 3rd December 2023, I have received Abdulkalam Excellency award in the function orginised by X ray a 30 year old renowned cultural orgination of Andhrapradesh. The other recepients have come from far away places like Rajahmundry, Bobbili and Hyderabad. They are all very generous people from different fields - a doctor , a cine actor and a social worker.
Mr. Raju from Bobbili contributes all his salary to the poor and lives on his wife's salary. Mrs. Usha from postal department feeds 10 orphan children. I contributed free service to private educational institutions and road repairs but it is much less.
I can not even dream of such an award. I have received several awards from the Government as well as academies and cultural associations. Awards are not new to me. I have achieved two word records too. But Abdul Kalam Excellency Award is something different because he is the real hero I loved, admired and remembered everyday. In the first chapter of my world record winning Novel Bharatavarsha I wrote a poem on him depcting his personality and achievements. Thus I connected him to my Magnum Opus.
Abdulkalam Excellency Award connected him to my life. It gave me a sense of fulfilment elevated my mind to a different level of social commitment. The name of the great hero of India sends endless vibrations in my heart.
The evening has a great pull
