Manorama Dated 23.9.15

Writing and Running. Adithyan Excels in both

Edapal:-  Adithyan is going ahead in writing and running without looking back.  Adithyan who hails from Elangalloor Mana Edapal Thuyyam and a resident of Delhi is reaping achievements in both.  While moving ahead with a variety of writings, Adithyan is making his presence felt in sports world also. In the recently concluded Airtel Hyderabad half Marathon, he secured second position in the super veteran category by completing 21.097 KM in 2 hours 28 minutes at the age of 65.

Retired as Finance Manager from Bharat Electronics Ltd Mumbai 5 years ago, (It is wrongly written. It should be BEL Ghaziabad) he is in the forefront of raising social issues whether at the local level or at the Prime Minister’s level. He is having a collection of letters from a galaxy of eminent personalities including Dr. Manmohan Singh Prime Minister, Sepp Blatter President FIFA etc. However, he cannot be treated as a mere letter writer. His write ups have appeared in several leading publications of India in 8 languages including English, Hindi and Malayalam.

About 4 decades ago he reached Delhi in search of job. His first letter appeared in The Hindustan Times in the year 1973 about removing the time period for railway reservation. His writings include a variety of topics like social issues, criticism, sports, culture, science & technology, current affairs, humorous write ups, satire etc which has appeared in leading English News papers and other language papers.  Writing letters to people who have excelled in various fields is a passion for Adithyan. Barring few exceptions, he got replies from all celebrities. He is preserving these letters as a great treasure.


Basically a lover of all sports, Adithyan got interest in Half Marathon and began practicing for that. He made his debut by participating in the Auroville Half Marathon at Pondicherry during February 2014. Subsequently he participated in Hyderabad and other marathons. He is currently preparing for the forthcoming marathons. His wife is Anitha and two daughters are Anupama and Ambily.
