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.
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 !
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
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 !
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.
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.
