biography of apj abdul kalam
Kalam's father was a devout Muslim, who owned boats which
he rented out to local fishermen and was a good friend of Hindu religious
leaders and the school teachers at Rameshwaram. APJ Abdul Kalam mentions in his
biography that to support his studies, he started his career as a newspaper
vendor. This was also told in the book, A Boy and His Dream: Three Stories from
the Childhood of Abdul Kalam by Vinita Krishna. The house Kalam was born in can
still be found on the Mosque street in Rameshwaram, and his brother's curio
shop abuts it. This has become a point-of-call for tourists who seek out the
place. Kalam grew up in an intimate relationship with nature, and he says in
Wings of Fire that he never could imagine that water could be so powerful a
destroying force as that he witnessed when he was thirty three. That was in
1964 when a cyclonic storm swept away the Pamban bridge and a trainload of
passengers with it and also Kalam's native village, Dhanushkodi. Kalam is a
scholar of Thirukkural; in most of his speeches, he quotes at least one kural.
Kalam has written several inspirational books, most notably his autobiography
Wings of Fire, aimed at motivating Indian youth. Another of his books, Guiding
Souls: Dialogues on the Purpose of Life reveals his spiritual side. He has
written poems in Tamil as well. It has been reported that there is considerable
demand in South Korea for translated versions of books authored by him. Kalam
has also patronised grassroots innovations. He is closely associated with the
Honey Bee Network and The National innovation Foundation. The NIF is a body of
Government of India and operates from Ahmadabad, Gujrat.
