A Tribute to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in Quotes

In Russia, Abdul Kalam will be remembered as a consistent exponent of closer friendly relations between our nations who has done a lot for cementing mutually beneficial Russian-Indian cooperation.

Vladimir Putin, Russian President

Dr. Kalam, when you became the President, you gave the word ‘hope’ a new meaning for Indians. Today, we have lost a great leader who inspired our young minds to feel that we live in the greatest nation on earth and that each one of them can achieve great things. May the creator lead you to heaven.

Abdul Kalam

He is the Man who really ignited the young minds to dream to reach one’s goal. No Indian President reached the common man like him. He really won the hearts of many across the nation irrespective of one’s religion. it is a great loss to the student’s community in particular and to the nation in general with respect to scientific advice. Thanks to Vajpayeeji who was instrumental for his elevation to Indian President. A great honour to him with which he mostly spent his time to explore the good ideals in the minds of young people and students. Salute to him. May his soul RIP.

Dr. Kalam on his Mother

My mother who lived ninety three years, a woman of love, a woman of kindness and above all a woman of divine nature. My mother performed Namaz five times everyday. During Namaz, my mother always looked angelic. Every time I saw her during Namaz I was inspired and moved.

Mother

I still remember the day when I was ten,
Sleeping on your lap to the envy of
my elder brothers and sisters.
It was full moon night, my world only
you knew Mother!, My Mother!
When at midnight, I woke with tears
falling on my knee
You knew the pain of your child, My Mother.
Your caring hands, tenderly removing the pain
Your love, your care,
your faith gave me strength,
To face the world without fear and
with His strength.
We will meet again on the great Judgment Day. My Mother!
