Today I saw d video of Dr. Abdul Kalam Azad…an amazing personality who is grounded to d roots despite his high position…while he was sharing what all he has learnt from his guru..”Vikram Sarabhai” n other leaders in India…I was wondering what a great man…that he remembers everything taught …every word n sentence n has used it to polish himself to be a great human being…hats off to him…And d way he delivers his speech with a smile on his face which shows his enthusiasm was commendabl
Here is what all he shared
As a child he was once asked by his school teacher to assemble all the students before 11:30 pm On 14th Aug 1947 to watch Pt, Jawarharlal Nehru hoist d National Flag…all the students saw it with great enthusiasm n kalam said dat though he cudnt understand d speech deliverd by Nehru as he could only understand tamil…but he liked d feeling of seeing d flag hoisted up so high
On 16th aug he saw 2 photos in newspapers
¨ Pt. JN Nehru hoisting the flag
¨ Mahatama Gandhi walking without any chappals to remove communal riots.
Here d msg which he wanted to convey was dat nobility in Leadership lies not in just taking the credit of things n being upfront but helping d needy n society at large …the way r father of the nation did on d eve of independence…real work lies at the ground level n someone has to take d pain.
Once jamshedji Naloji was traveling along with Swami Vivekananda n going to London…swamiji asked him…”where r u going?”…jamshedji replied…”I’m going to london to bring steel to India…
He met a man in Engalnd and told him about his plans n he abused him but he dint give up n went across Atlantic n brought steel to India n set up a plant in Jamshedpur….
Kalam sited egs of many great Indian minds like Madan Mohan Malviya, J.C Bose, C.V Raman,Vikram Sarabhai all these people n many more who have done service fr r country & have proved that Indian minds r much bettr dan International minds…he futher said dat now its time fr us to fight to transform r nation into a developed one n make it free frm all d social evils which exist in r society.
He gave an Eg of his guru Vikram Sarabhai who wanted to establish a research center at Thumba…n was opposed to take such a step by d bureaucrats n asked to meet d Bishop of d church before taking such a step…because thumba was located near d coastline n it was a means of occupation fr d fisherman living there also d place had a churches around which couldn’t b removed….
Sarabhai met d father of d church …Sarabhai explained wat he intended to do n wantd father’s approval for dat…Father said dat d palce was God’s habitat n Children’s habitat…he cant allow what he wants…but asked Sarabhai to some to Church next day.

The public was praying n aftr dey finished Father calld Vikram on stage n told ppl dat he was a Scientist who wants to build a Research Centre thre…n both science n religion work fr the bettrment of masses…n bless the mankind…he asked d ppl will they agree to give the land…Father said “amen”…n there was complete silence…n aftr a while all toghtr said “Amen”…
Thus with the strong belief of Vikram n d unity of 2 god human beings helped in doing a great job fr the betterment of all the people….

I really can't vouch for the incident he has cited about 14th of August.I have not seen many south Indians to participate in Indian National Movement.I really don't know whether they were interested in getting India liberated.This a sweeping statement and I can draw a lot of flak on it.
P.S. Why don't you write more about yourself.I am planning to do that in my blog.I will expose my dark personality in my upcoming blog:evil:
