  "account": "Iqama, a novel authored by Ammar Kizhuparamba, has emerged victorious in the inaugural Tirur Souhrudavedi Award. The award presentation ceremony is scheduled to take place at Doctors Hall, Poongottukulam, Tirur, on Sunday afternoon. The novel, published by Page India, offers a glimpse into the sea voyages and lives of early Keralite migrants to the Arabian Gulf, a group whose stories have largely been overlooked. Apart from Iqama, Kizhuparamba has penned numerous other works, including Haji From India, Mohammed Abdurahiman Sahib: Cinema and Life—a biography of UAE's founding father Sheikh Zayed, The Pioneer of the Nation, and Arakshithan.",
