"Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep." ― A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire: An Autobiography
Some of his books : http://www.amazon.com/A.-P.-J.-Abdul-Kalam/e/B001H9RNS0/
Brief from Wikipedia : 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 program and military missile development efforts. 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. He also played a pivotal organizational, technical and political role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.

#34I remember the moment when Kalam Sir came to our graduation ceremony and asked in his speech "What would you like to be remembered for? Evolve and shape your life in that way".
He will remain an inspiration.

#36I am just a normal student. Never had a chance to meet him. Always wished I did. To meet him just once and talk to him about how he wants to see the country, and what a student like me can do to contribute towards it. I am very, very sad that I won't be able to talk to him, ever in my life. </3

#37Don't want to bring politics here. I just could not believe why in the world why Congress/Sonia wouldn't give him second term and brought in Pratibha Patil who abused her privilege as a President ( In news for changing her portrait picture N times because she didn't liked how she looked, Taking her whole extended family > 30+ to all foreign trips, and making Rashtrapati Bhavan a guest house/extended vacation place for them). Abdul Kalam inspired the children and young people of India. He was an icon. She did zilch. How could they disgrace Adbul Kalam and India like this? What were they thinking?
