Dear Mr Prabhakar,

This is to offer to you my sincerest apologies and further, my humble
thanks. I apologize: I have not grown up in all these years, and my
lack of maturity, so evident to you, ashames me. Ever since I read 
that news item, my life has been fuller and richer and I have been
filled with a deep sense of pride over Mr Jayaraman's achievement. 
I have been spending my days in a state of awestruck dumbfoundedness
(my various friends, none of whom were kind enough to point out my 
misguided folly, will vouch for this).

Your response suddenly showed me how truly shallow and empty this
pride I was feeling really was. I thank you, Mr Prabhakar. I thank
you from the bottom of my heart.

Humbly yours,
Dilip.
