As the "Missile Man", "People’s President", we all have learnt about the life and times of former Indian President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. But, what shaped this G.O.A.T., legendary personality’s successful stint as a scientist to his experiences during the tenure as President of India, deserves to be equally known and perused about. The snippets from the childhood days of Kalam spent in Rameshwaram, his taking up the job of distributing ( delivering) newspapers, and his equation with his friends, family, mentor, among others is very interesting and intriguing, as much as it is intellectually-stimulating. Kalam sums up in this book about the formative years and the exemplary upbringing he received, in a very simple and lucid manner. One cannot help being inspired and having one’s goals reinforced when one learns about the early life of this genius, this ultimate visionary. The incidents and situations that propelled him to eventually becoming one of the finest and most popular leaders of the world, the support he received from his family, the curiosity and quest of gaining knowledge about the crucial goings-on from around the world, these all facets have been described in a gripping and awe-inspiring manner. Honestly, I did not know at the time of buying this book, that it would continue to boost me even long after I am done reading it, and that somebody of the stature of Dr. Kalam could explain in such an engaging way, the experiences that moulded him and made him a world-renowned technocrat. A must-read book for every Kalam-Fan, if one wishes to find the love, reverence and admiration growing for this Indian persona that has positively and constructively impacted thousands of lives across the world. You might want a copy of this book to be kept in and added to your collection. Highly recommended, for the young and the old, alike. Thank you, Kalam Sir, for knowing, going and showing the way to us as the ultimate leader India would boast of and could continue to learn from. Enjoy reading this, dear book-aficionados, and keep your learning-journey going from strength to strength, with the example of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s life firmly and rivetingly guiding you to greater heights, both personally and professionally.
