My India by Kalam

My India…. Ideas for the future by A P J Abdul Kalam

Book review

Non fiction so no spoilers

Rating 4/5 (not 5/5 since that would come out biased!)

Firstly I am a big fan of Dr Abdul Kalam and any review of his book or achievements will bound to be biased!

Not that it matters since he is one of the few universally loved and admired personality in the whole country and the world!

By choice I steer clear of non fiction and such self help books but when it’s Kalam you cannot control yourself!

Imagine that his whole life all he has done is work teach and inspire and even on the fateful day of his Demise he just delivered a lecture in Shillong, collapsed and passed away. No Huss no fuss! His simple life has been an inspiration to many!

So this is a collection of summaries of his speeches delivered at various places all over the country and world!

Some talk about great personality like Tata to Gandhi to Ramanujam while many others tell about common folks doing amazing work over coming hurdles on the way and finding success!

Every once in a while you have a poem or a snippet about this great personality and every speech summary ends with a positive note!

Some give a glimpse of his childhood while some his time at the Madras institute of technology (there is a story on how and who started it too!). Some of the summaries are of his time when he was instrumental in developing Agni missiles and nuclear testing!

All in all a book to pep you up and ignite your mental fire!
Here is one man whose only agenda is to work for the betterment of the country and the future! And just for that you can just give it a go!….
