Few words on the legend- Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam

We all know Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam by the famous name of A Missile Man for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology. His original name was Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam. He was an astrophysicist, scientist and above all a TEACHER too. He has contributed a lot towards India. He came from a poor family, but then too he worked hard and after schooling he toiled hard by selling newspapers and funding his own studies. He studied Physics and Aerospace engineering and further spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India's civilian space program and military missile development efforts. He also served as the 11^th President of India. He collapsed during the most appreciable work according to him-to give someone knowledge.

India has lost a gem of a person!!

Innocent Minds

On the way to school, observed the kids dull and lazy just like the atmosphere outside. Today’s morning arose with the sun hiding behind the clouds just like a white colored-blanket had been spread all-over.  It was silent everywhere, not a single leaf was moving and every aspect of nature had come to a standstill. Wondered whether how does this have an impact on the kids too? We, grown ups also feel the same many - a - times. The surrounding has a direct or an indirect effect on us some time or the other.  But one cheerful child took the initiative and started discussing whatever he was observing passing by. The other kids joined in and within minutes everybody was into the group discussion in which they were observing the things from their own point of view. The whole atmosphere became lively and chirpy with the innocent talks of the children. I wondered why can’t we, the elders be such acceptable and adjust to the difference in nature of our surrounding people? When would we be the ones to take initiative in abolishing the limitations in talking terms with each other? If the children can, why can’t we?
