APJ Abdul Kalam

APJ Abdul Kalam was ex-president of India.He was a great Scientist, popularly known as "Missile Man Of India" for inventing Agni, Trishul etc...
Well, this seems to be a lesson of your English Textbook, ha ha!
He was not only a president and scientist who did so much for INDIA but he is also an example, an inspiration...
Born in 1931 in the streets of Rameshwaram, APJ lead a poor life but didn't give up his dreams...
He used to study sitting beside brahmin kids and was often invited for meals at his brahmin Teacher's home which he readily accepted...Such was his upbringing, very secular!And we need to learn many lessons from his life!
He worked very hard to earn bread for his family...he even used to sell newspapers.

"Don't stop working hard after your first victory.It is the time more lips are ready to say that your first victory was mere 'luck' " is one among his innumerable quotes.

He even wrote many books like "Wings Of Fire","Ignited Minds", etc proving Benjamins Franklin true for his quote that "If you want to be remembered even after your death write something or do something worth writing" He did both, right!

Former Chairman of my school, M.N Raju was a close friend of APJ {checkout the link www.mnrindia.org }

Loving our imperfect life

Edit: I may have said things in this blog I wouldn't agree now or maybe the way I said it is too childish, so keep in mind that this is an old blog. I'm not deleting it because blogs are my first online appearance as a writer :p I am writing a letter to life for the #DearZindagi activity at BlogAdda. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5DkO7ksXY8E . Dear Zindagi, I love you!! Seriously. You're beautiful! No matter how many hardships I face, how many heartbreaks I go through, I'll never stop loving you! I'm very grateful to you and thank god for blessing me with you. You've always taught me new lessons. Sure, there are times when everything seems to be going wrong and you think everyone is against you but I never thought of letting you go because I know you are a gift from God and my loved ones have right for you too. Whenever I'm depressed or anxious, I just go out and appreciate the beauty of nature do something which distracts me. Many peo...

Social Media Addiction

Hey guys ! I am back...I was offline for a whole month.My mobile was seized so that I may study for my exams (I found other ways to waste my time though :p) But I got a subject for my blog living offline for a month !  Read a page I wrote on 16/2/16 (In classroom) : "I am sitting in my exam hall and waiting for examiner to bring the papers (Pre Finals are going on then).At this point of time,normally people revise the syllabus but my mind is somewhere else...I will have to be anti-social(networking sites :P) now ! I am really missing some people there.  DOES THAT MAKE ME AN ADDICT  ? On Social sites,you will find many people.Some do pure time pass by gossiping,indulging in fan wars all the time. Everyone joins social sites for time pass but I think our pastime should not ever be reason for anybody's bad time.Most of people on Social sites be like "We can do anything here,it is virtual world" but they neglect the fact that though world is virtual,peop...

INTOLERANCE !

Well, the word in the title was never this famous as it is now ! We have been listening it everywhere these days ! Let me tell you what Intolerance or  असहनशीलता   actually means ! It means " unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own"  Sounds familiar,right ? In India, we have been debating non-stop that is there Intolerance on rise or not but no one is working on it !  The following incidents made "INTOLERANCE" the most talked word : http://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2015/12/instances-of-intolerance-in-india-in-2015/ When  'Dadri Lynching Case' happened, some people said "Intolerance in India is on rise" and I opposed them saying "This is an extremely unfortunate event but you can't blame whole country just because of a little bunch of hooligans"... Was I wrong ? No, I still stand by it but I would say a huge bunch of hooligans now. Sorry but I must say that Shiv Sena/BJP activists are wo...
