Kalam

Don't spend the money you have earned on yourself. Don't think of having dressed in different fashionable attires. Don't think of having lived in aboard for your career benefits. Don't make relationship as your priority. Don't backstabb teachers who play roles in your life. Don't end up being frustated at your unsuccessful attempts. In quest of inspiration, I ended up having screams, after reading: Wings of Fire.

Wings of Fire, an autobiography of the wildly great and widely honoured, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, better known as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. I don't think I was wrong of having gone through this book in quest of some inspiration, the time when I wanted to collect up myself. Notwithstanding statements and statements, it failed to encourage me. As a child I always admired him and in that very stage wanted to follow him. Alas! It's only about words. 
In today's scenario how can one even think of being a man whose life itself is dedicated and devoted towards work. It's a matter of wonderance what he would have thought of current era, where modernity plays a major role over simplicity. I wanted to question him, what made him to sacrifice every luxury thing? Why didn't those quotes move him of having lived a free life? What inspired him to become so ideal? What made him matching with none? With every aspect stated it proves tough enough to follow him. 
Reading about Kalam is in itself a matter of pride. Any writing about him is bound to only end on saluting him. Finally let's hope our nation be blessed with another Kalam since none of us can become Kalam.
