Very painful moment. An eminent scientist and always affectionate towards students.No one can be like him. Very humble and passionate towards the development of the nation. All of us going to miss his inspiring speech and enthusiasm. 

Very sad and shocking news. We have lost a great person who was an inspiration to the entire nation. Let his soul rest in peace.

In fact I was so busy listening to that sad news item and watching important occasions of his life and what impressed me most was, despite being such a great personality he was so simple and down to earth. Rest In Peace,Missile Man.

Abdul Kalam was probably the least controversial president ever, very gentle and sensitive ..I have seen some videos and news clips of him interacting with school children and students and one can see the genuine concern and interest he took in them...A life well lived with the utmost dignity ! 

RIP APJ sir. you are the best child of Mother India, we miss you.

In fact he was in the service of Mother India until his last moment.

From the son of a Boatman to Missile man. An epitome of virtues.An accomplished Veena player. An ardent believer in Yoga. Comfortable equally with Quran to BhagavatGeeta. An eye opener to all those who see the things with myopic vision consoling themselves with the thought that all Muslims in India are traitors.

That is Abdul Kalam

May his soul rest in peace

 

Shocking news for our country. He has done great job for our country and given a path of success to our country. We all salute him.

Kalam  has shown how with humble beginnings one can reach the pinnacles of glory with determination and will power. Youngsters must walk in the path shown by this great soul.

 

A true gentleman, genius and  scientist par excellence. May his soul rest in peace.

Abdul Kalam had come to Mangalore last year and was very interactive with students, I too had gone with a handful of students from our school...I have fond memories of that day the way he addressed the students and asked them if they were comfortable since the hall was packed and many including me were squatting on the ground...Such a great yet humble personality !

Abdul Kalam is an Universal personality. His death is mourned by the general public as well as the scientific community. Parliament of India declared 7days as mourning period.Quite a befitting tribute to this great soul.

Yes. Death is imminent to all of us. But people like Kalam will remain in the hearts of people forever. Nobel souls have no death.

 

There is no other persoality comparable to Dt. Kalam. Just a few days back, we all we surprised to see that a Haryana minister paid homage to him even in his life time. Dr. Kalam will be known more as a scientist rather than President.  He was very much involved with Ministry of Defence as a scientist in DRDO *Defence Researxh & Development Organization). Salute to Missileman. 

 Work was his religion. Even when he died, it was while delivering a lecture to students at IIM Shillong on a liveable plant.  he passed away in his element, while delivering a lecture to youngsters, on a subject he loved. A true universal personality. My tributes to APJ Abdul Kalam.

 

Just yesterday afternoon  I was watching Sonu Nigam video where he was paying respect to all the legend with the song "Jane Nahi Denge Tujhe, Jane tujhe denge nahi" in an award program. The song from "3 IDIOTS" he sang with so much emotions that I felt so touching. Evening I got the news of our beloved President and automatically the song came out from my heart. Such was his character that he stayed throughout every Indians heart and will be there as long as we live regardless of age. A simple man who achieved impossible because of his strong will power and hard work.You can't describe this man in words. Like any other Indian, I felt pain for losing him. Its a greatest lose.

 

Very true Jeets. APJ Abdul Kalam will stay forever even after his death in the deep core of every Indian's heart.

 

A true karmayogi. He literally died with his boots on while interacting with IIM students as this was his passion after retiring as a very popular President. May his restless rest in peace.
