My childhood

Dear student,
A P J Abdul Kalam was born into a big Muslim family: he lived with his parents, three brothers and sister. His father was neither wealthy nor formally educated, but he was a wise and generous man. His mother was a kind and good lady who fed many people every day as charity. They were a middle class family who lived in a large pucca house. He did not get luxuries, but all necessities were provided for by his father. Abdul Kalam had three good friends in school – Ramanandha Sastry, Aravindan and Sivaprakasan. He earned his first wages by helping his cousin in catching the bundles of newspapers thrown out of a moving train during World War II in Rameswaram. Kalam says that he led a secure childhood as his was a loving and supportive family.
Regards

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam (/ˈæbdəl kəˈlɑːm/ (About this sound listen); 15 October 1931 – 27 July 2015) was an Indian scientist who served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. He was born and raised in RameswaramTamil Nadu and studied physics and aerospace engineering. He spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India's civilian space programme and military missile development efforts.[1] He thus came to be known as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology.[2][3][4] He also played a pivotal organisational, technical, and political role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.[5]

Kalam was elected as the 11th President of India in 2002 with the support of both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the then-opposition Indian National Congress. Widely referred to as the "People's President",[6] he returned to his civilian life of education, writing and public service after a single term. He was a recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

While delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management Shillong, Kalam collapsed and died from an apparent cardiac arrest on 27 July 2015, aged 83.[7]Thousands including national-level dignitaries attended the funeral ceremony held in his hometown of Rameshwaram, where he was buried with full state honours.[8]
