The book was formally released by JK Menon, Chairman of ABN Corporation, IBPC Qatar, and Director of Norka Roots, who handed over a copy to prominent businessman and fellow Norka Roots Director C.V. Rappai.
In his address, JK Menon highlighted the importance of documenting one’s thoughts and ideas for the benefit of society. He stated that such creative contributions add immense value to life and community, noting that “inspiring others through words and deeds is a noble endeavour, and we must encourage such meaningful efforts.”
C.V. Rappai praised Dr. Vadakkangara’s perseverance and dedication in authoring a wide range of books, describing his literary journey as a powerful example of creativity and commitment. He also shared his personal experience with the motivational series Vijayamanthrangal, encouraging the community to make use of it as a tool for positive transformation.

The support and appreciation I have received humbles me and strengthens my commitment to continue inspiring and guiding future generations.”
A former Head of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Ideal Indian School, Doha, Dr. Vadakkangara has authored books on Arabic literature, language learning series, Arabic grammar, Spoken Arabic, travelogues, career guidance, and of course, the celebrated Vijayamanthrangal series. His 100th book stands as a testament to passion, perseverance, and purpose.
