This blog pays respects to late President Dr. Abdul Kalam. The great personality who is an inspiration to me and probably many more. A person who was a scientist, a teacher and a President.
Our beloved scientist Dr. Abdul Kalam passed away. But he simply passed away in body. His spirit ignited many minds and will always remain immortal.
Dr. Kalam was born in a Muslim family but there was no communal hatred that he inspired among people of other religions. He was loved by people of all sects. I think, he was a perfect example to show how wrong people are who exploit and wrongly use religion to divide people in India. He was a (maha)rishi - a (great) sage.
I learnt on 27th July 2015 noon that he passed away. The next day, I stepped out to buy newspapers to read articles on him and how exactly he passed away; a good old hard copy is much better than online news and the television on some occasions. But, do you know, there was not a single newspaper at two news stands! All the newspapers that day were sold away! That was and is a perfect indication of the love, respect and admiration that Dr. Kalam inspires among people. I finally went to a very large news stand far away from my residence and found some copies of newspapers which I could finally purchase and read. :) RIP.
