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.

Whenever I'm depressed or anxious, I just go out and appreciate the beauty of nature do something which distracts me. Many people sa

When you want to yell "SHUT UP!"

There are some times in your life when people just forget their limits and start speaking anything...there you have nothing to say but "Please Shut Up !" And there are also the times when you cant even say that.You should just sit quiet and listen up...that's tough! I say whenever there are such moments stay quiet, gulp in your anger...it will help! But no matter how nice you try to be there are certain times, certain people which annoys so much that you can't stay quite, and in some cases, you could not even make it work with "Shut Up!"....you strongly want to use all the #$%^#@& words !haha BUT understand that staying quiet is better.Yes, if there is some sort of explanation you want to give or you think you can make that person quiet...then go ahead...a little sense of humour comes handy in case you need to answer nonsense questions! Kuch bhi karo...soch samajh kar karo Yes, guys! Cant write much...Exam Time... See You! Edit: I may have
