It is almost impossible not to be inspired by the life of Mr.Kalam. This segment along with the conclusion also mentions of Kalams dream for the year 2020.The book itself is w ritten in simple position and it seems as if the author is speaking out to the reader directly. One mustiness read this for the following reasons Indias greatest scientist Abdul Kalams story, military and defense research, projectile technology, Indias alert space programs and general knowledge. Throughout the book there are ethical motive that are for the grooming purposes for everyone, even for the administrators. Abdul Kalam tells us how the finest of people can be brought out. Abdul Kalam is referred to as spiritual scientist, his visions and contributions to his country.As a young man, Abdul Kalam was inquisitive and groovy to learn more and more about science. Kalams mentors persuaded him to ponder onto the great opportunity into space science and by achieving this India will become self-sufficient in aeronautical and rocket science. He was the first one with a vision that India has great potential in its space and satellite development of lay out vehicles. SLVs provide as the foundation for a range of state-of-the-art missile technology in Indias military.From an American viewpoint, when everyone is shouting bloody murder and machine proliferation, Abdul Kalams memories of Frances taking away of support and fake accusations of German help serve up as a alarming reminder that embargoing a country alone cannot work if the countrys public is strong enough to control their own destiny. Its deplorable that there is little debate on the ethics of an impoverished country developing nuclear weapons and deploying delivery systems. . . .But thats almost totally lost in the argument of self-reliance, a determination to never again surrender to orthogonal rule. Abdul Kalam, an optimist, made helped India become self sufficient in its space and rocket technology. The book also inspires the youth of India living nationally and internationally that they deem the one marvel achieved by their nations hero, Abdul Kalam and strive themselves to become strong in every area of their profession and make India prosper for eternity.Abdul Kalam, the man with many names. He is most trusted man in India according to survey, He is also known as the missile man of India. Abdul Kalam will be cherished long after he is gone, the man whom India loves.The book is a tour into Abdul Kalams life the book however does not cover his brass days that were published before he became the president of India. Abdul Kalam stayed in Ramesh Varam which is famous for its Shiv temple. The famous temple was few kilometers journey from Abdul Kalams home, a Muslim prevail area.Abdul Kalam use to sell newlyspapers to help his brother, was good friend of the priest of the temple and his father was respectable man whom people used to turn for advice. Abdul Kalam writes about his school days, his brother in laws influence on him and his teachers in the sign chapters. He also writes about his financial challenges he faced during the time he was into education.The late r chapters are some of Vikram Sarabhais immense contribution in establishment of space research center and opening up new feets for coming scientists.

It was a moment to cherish when India made its first journey to the moon and along with this journ ey to success was Abdul Kalams belief that nothing can stop India from reaching the stars and he certainly proved himself as one of the stars.Considering that this book comes from a scientist, this book does have little scientific narration. SLV, Geo satellite, mingled material, mechanical engineering and such things. The journey itself always has technical errors peculiarly when its scientific in nature. Abdul Kalam, like the man himself forced his will to supremacy over failures, fears and disappointments.At the core, the book is about the great Indian dream. A wishing that all the founding fathers of a country have, a wish fulfilled by Abdul Kalam.A country which is divided by devotion and caste. A country which has a corrupt political system and where bullion rules, Abdul Kalam still made millions of citizens of India a proud nation. Aftermath
