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.

Protecting Daughters from Gender Discrimination and Dowry System

What is dowry? Casually, some of us find this as a traditional custom of bribing the groom and their family by bride's parents to get rid of their daughter. Or some of us may consider this as buying of groom by bride's parents through a bidding process. We as a part of Indian society are infamous for dowry and its related offences. When a daughter is born, most of the Indian families don't find that joy a son could have given them. Some of them get depressed after finding out the gender of newborn baby. Having a daughter is a burden to them, mostly, because of the social phenomena like dowry. We make noise and protest against corruption. But we never go through its roots and make substantive changes to uproot it. What is the reason for the corrupt officials to take such risks? The dowry is not the "only" but a good and considerable reason to hoard money through corrupt practices. No media has more reach to our society than Bollywood movies. In the plethora of...

Education Emergency — Why Schools Should Open Its Doors

One sector which is silently hit by the Covid-19 pandemic the most is the education. As a precautionary measure, schools were the first to be shut even before a formal announcement of lockdown. After all, education doesn't come under the umbrella of essential services. According to the data from UNICEF, schools for more than 168 million children globally have been completely closed for almost an entire year, and more than 888 million children worldwide continue to face disruptions to their education due to full and partial school closures. In India, only one in four children have access to digital devices and internet connectivity. There is a large rural-urban and gender divide which is why not everyone is able to benefit the digital revolution. Such vulnerable children unable to access remote learning might never be able to get back to learning even after the pandemic fades away, and could be easily exploited as child labor.

Nuclear Friction - Are We Moving Towards Nuclear Doomsday?

It was a moment of joy for the North Koreans when they heard the news that North Korea has successfully tested H-bomb on January 6th and thus “guaranteed the eternal future of the nation”. But it was also a shocking and despairing moment for others. Followed by the claim, came the condemnation from most other countries of the world including US, Japan, South Korea, and even China (supposed friend of N. Korea). But it was not unexpected that the North Koreans will do a further nuke test after the three previous ones in 2006, 2009 and 2013. But nobody on this earth, or even in space, thought that they would be able to do an H-bomb test. It was a second nuclear test only in four years during the rule of Kim Jong Un, the young head of the mafia family that controls North Korea is a sobering reminder of the progress that three generations of Kims have made in expanding their nuclear capability—despite outside efforts to curb it. Few think that North Korea has yet managed t...

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 ...

It has fallen into Octo uncle's territory. Octo was a wise octopus. He decided to build a castle, with the help of crab and sea ants, around it to protect them against theft. The ugly Octo has now beco...

Kolkata - Drive, Design and Connect

I went to Kolkata with my friends in holidays. We went there via railways, I still remember the great journey from New Delhi to Howrah through Rajdhani Express. We were three friends who agreed to visit Kolkata after a fierce debate. We want to travel to a city we have never been to. But this doesn't mean us to go to a lonely island. We preferred the city that must be well connected with the rest other parts of India and with good roads to drive on because we didn't want our body to be shaken by jerky roads while travelling the city. Kolkata was an ideal choice for us to enjoy our holidays. While reaching the Howrah junction, first we kept noticing the size of the station, the number of platforms and the number of people. I at once said this is too big! All my friends agreed. We also noticed the design and cleanliness of Howrah Junction. It is very much common to the Grand Central station of New York. While we were enjoying the beauty of Howrah junction, one of my friend br...

Turn Your Good Mornings Into Gold Mornings!

E very morning brings sunshine along with unbounded positive energy that inspires us to live life to the fullest. That is why when we wake up from the bed, we find ourselves most relax during the morning. We don't find the pleasant sound of birds chirping, relaxing weather and the aesthetic sunrise any moment of the day other than morning. If there is a lot of stress in our life, there is also enough beauty of life to inspire us. One should be ready to face both faces of life and should not complain about stressful life. A new day also brings new promises or the opportunity to keep yesterday's promise. For example, you promise yourself that "Today I shall submit the assignment" or you promised your kids yesterday that "you will take a leave and go for a vacation". Now, this can be possible only if you are in a good mood. And if your kids demand you to take them out for vacation but you are reserved that day, you cannot just shout at them, you must learn t...
