My Tribute To The Missile Man Of India

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was his name, like his 'big name' he leaves behind a very big legacy which cannot be forgotten. He was an example for the underprivileged children that just by will-Power and determination you can reach the top post. The thing matter is "your dream" and how much you work to achieve your dream. If you have a legitimate dream and at night you are not enjoying a sound sleep because you want to achieve that dream as soon as possible, then nothing can stop you from achieving your dream. In his words: "Dream is not that you see in the sleep, but it is something that does not allow you to sleep."

There was nothing negative about him. Everything he said or done had a positive impact to such extent that he was elected as 11th President of India unusually by the BJP and Congress together. The awards he got from Government of India includes— Padma Bhushan in 1981, Padma Vibhushan in 1990, Bharat Ratna in 1997 and Veer Savarkar Award in 1998 along with Ramanujan Awards in 2000 by Alwars Research Centre, Chennai. There are several other awards from foreign countries which also includes The King Charles ll Medal by Royal Society, UK. These awards were given for his achievements but he himself was bigger than those awards.

He was a great scientist and a philosopher who loved children and always believed that it is the children and young people who are going to change this country. Even the word "Great" cannot describe his personality. He was truly a God's child and we are very lucky that he was born in India. Not everyone can survive in the current educational scenario by selling Newspaper at morning and study late night under kerosene lamp or street lights. Today is the era of "Coaching Institutes" which are mushrooming everywhere with the only purpose of making money out of it. The Kalam's early life thus appears as a fiction.

Despite grown up in difficult circumstances, he achieved more than what he dreamt about. It is always an inspiration for the young students. He knew that every student can't have the luxury to study in the air-conditioned room and it is the education which is going to transform a life of an individual who in turn going to build a great Nation. So, he continues to inspire young students with his thoughts and undisputed philosophy. He never took a break from his work that we are looking for every time. He never cared that he was a "Global Celebrity", he continues to do what he was doing and that is why he died speaking to the children whom he loved the most and is beloved.

He has millions of followers from across the world. He was an inspiration for almost every kid and young people who know about him. He was a "Modern Vivekananda" who also made India's presence felt in the world and like Vivekananda he did not get married which is a setback for us. If he married, his genes continue to grow in his progeny and that, of course, would be great. In some ancient books, it is said that only the intelligent people should marry to improve the quality of genes in the human race. So by not marrying Kalam sir did not leave any opportunity to back up his genes in the form of his children. Philosophically, we, of course, are his children but it would be great if we had a more brother or sister in which Kalam sir DNA is present.

Despite being not elected by the people of India, he was truly a People's President. People rarely love other President like him. There is nobody on this earth who could feel something bad about him. We in India believe "the second birth theory" and we also know that Dr Kalam won't rest for long days in the heaven and soon going to incarnate on the earth. Hopefully, he will be born again in India to see and live in the India he dreamt of.

FATHERS DAY SPECIAL

I have decided to write about the incredible Father-Children relationship on the occasion of father's day. I can't decide what to write on the topic that is so much related to my heart. I belong to the country which believes that our parents are equivalent to God and I am very proud of it. Whenever I remember my childhood my mind becomes full of incredible moments that I have spent with my parents especially my father I contribute this blog to children who are not fully mature and consider their parents as their enemy only because they care for them and love them so much that they can't fulfil their immature promises. Dear children Remember no one will better take care of you better than your parents will, so never ever consider your father or your mother as your enemy and love them and obey them. So if your dad asks you to hold his hand when you cross the street it's because he knows it can be dangerous because of all the cars. It's also why sometimes dad h...

Beat The Lost Growth In Your Child With Horlick Growth+

Children are building blocks for a healthy society. They must grow to their full capacities. To carry the responsibility of human species on their shoulders and to take it to a next level, they must be developed strong, vigorous and healthy both physically and psychologically. Children are curious by nature. This curiosity must be nurtured. It is the quality that churns out great scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers, writers, etc. This curiosity brings innovation and creative ideas, essential for a progressive society, make our life easier and this world a better place to live in. All parents want to see their children in a healthy state. They leave no stone unturned to keep them strong, healthy and full of curiosity. Often, they get the results. But, in certain cases, their children fall behind on growth. They do not show the symptoms of growth. They do not attain right weight and height as per the age. And, as a result of retarded growth, they do not show curiosity for le...

Bihar Liquor Ban - Alcoholism and Society

Disclaimer : No alcohol has been used during the writing of this post. I don't know why I didn't cover this story earlier. Probably because on this topic, I didn't want to write in haste and as sayings go “better late than never”, I came up with this post. And while writing this article, sometimes I felt an alcoholic haze, that is why you should read this carefully! Let us begin with the definition of 'Alcoholism'. Casually, the process of consuming alcoholic drinks is called alcoholism. But, to be precise, alcoholism is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal addiction to alcohol, and taking it in small quantity very occasionally is not. Simply put, if you can live without alcohol, you are not an alcoholic. “Alcoholism is the effect of excessive intake of alcohol on the functions of the body and personality.” ~ W.C. Reckless “Alcoholism is a condition in which the individual has lost control over his alcohol intake in that he is constantl...

Bihar Liquor Ban - The Political Perspective

Whether you call it Nitish Kumar's masterstroke for gaining publicity and support of people or a responsible chief minister batting for people's interests, on the face of it, it is great that Bihar is free from alcohol abuse. The Bihar excise (amendment) act, 2016 – a very old 1915 act has been converted into a very stringent law – is haunting the alcohol gang of Bihar. This law banned manufacturing, selling or consumption of liquors (strong or mild) and even prescribes the death penalty for the manufacturer, suppliers and sellers of hooch in case of death as a result of consumption of spurious liquors. Although Biharis can drink outside state boundary, they'll be punished if they create nuisance after returning home. The government had actually proposed to ban only 'desi' liquors. The sale of non-country or ‘Indian Made Foreign Liquor’ (IMFL) was allowed, although, with some caveats. However, within five days, the government extended the ban to IMFL as w...

The Brand Amma - Social Work or Self Promotion

J Jayalalithaa, the actress turned Chief minister of Tamil Nadu was given the nickname " Amma " by her followers comparing to or assuming her Amma (Mother). But, she developed this nickname to be the biggest brand in Tamil Nadu, the “Amma brand”. Despite having no market value of this brand, it has a very significant value for the people of Tamil Nadu, especially the poor and the have-nots. For them, she is the goddess who is not only filling their hungry stomach but also providing them almost all basic items necessary for living a decent life (including some luxurious items too). After becoming CM, the major work Jayalalithaa's government has done is providing subsidy and freebies to the people. For instance, subsidized cheap food at canteen, packaged water, pharmacy bill, cement, free rice, free mixer grinder, spectacles, mobiles, laptops, bicycles, etc. all under brand "Amma" and at the price no other shopkeepers, manufacturers or the e-commerce compan...

JNU - A Vision of Modern Democratic India

Through the ongoing controversy what we need to understand is that ours is a young nation still in the making which has all the ingredients to become truly a great nation, but it needs time. Give this nation that time, that gestation period and it will show the world the true meaning of greatness, one which is home to a complete spectrum of diverse culture but still thrives together with immeasurable amount of tolerance which has never been experienced anywhere else (this holds for the common citizens of India but unfortunately not for the practitioners of divisive vote-bank politics which they don’t find anti-national). Every powerful nation that exists today has gone through some sort of civil war which led to enormous violence and bloodshed. We too have our share of challenges; be it the Kashmir issue, Nagaland or Naxalism; but we have the opportunity to show the world that we can do it in a better way without any bloodshed. It is that unity in diversity that is the soul of ...

Teachers Or Cheaters

We are quite aware with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan of "minimum government-maximum governance". It is one of the agenda of Modi during his campaign in 2014 general election. The place where this needs to be implemented the most is government elementary schools with slight modification as "minimum teachers-maximum teachings". Without any doubt, the government school teachers are the biggest cheaters and a burden on the economy. The salary of the government teachers is much higher than the private sector teachers (In UP, the difference is 20 times). But rather than working harder and better, the government teachers are often seen "missing in action". Karthik Muralidharan's 2014 study estimates an absence rate of 23.6 percent. When they are present, they spend much of their time in non-teaching activities or teaching with little professional competence, and exercise little effort. Some teachers don't even see for six months but d...
