In a remarkable testament to literary perseverance and digital creativity, Suresh Thekkeettil from Perinthalmanna, Malappuram, Kerala, has carved his name into history with a world record that redefines the bounds of storytelling. Over an astounding stretch from 13th February 2023 to 23rd April 2025, Suresh crafted and shared 801 original stories, one every single day, through the widely-used platform WhatsApp, under the banner of Thekkeettil Stories.

As the proverb goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” and for Suresh, that first step led to an incredible literary marathon. His initiative was more than just writing—it was a daily ritual of creation, narration, and connection. Each story unveiled a new world, breathing life into nearly two thousand unique human characters, capturing the complexities of everyday life, emotions, and imagination.

This monumental digital series culminated in a public exhibition held at Government Higher Secondary School, Pulamanthole, on 18th May 2025, transforming ephemeral WhatsApp stories into a tangible, celebrated cultural experience. As the saying goes, “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic,” and Suresh’s magic touched hearts and minds for over two years, consistently and without fail.

His achievement is now officially recognized in the Talent Record Book as the Most Number of Stories Continuously Published, Narrated on Social Media, and Exhibited. It’s a resounding reminder that “Consistency is more important than perfection,” and that true passion knows no pause.

Suresh Thekkeettil’s record is not just a number—it is a revolution in modern storytelling. In an age where fleeting content dominates screens, he chose depth, discipline, and dedication. His work stands as a beacon for aspiring writers, storytellers, and digital creatives, showing that even the simplest platforms can birth the grandest legacies.

Indeed, “Great stories happen to those who can tell them,” and Suresh has proven himself to be one of the greatest digital storytellers of our time.2310
