Sad demise of the Missile Man- Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
Going to Shillong. To take course on Livable Planet earth at iim. With @srijanpalsingh and Sharma. – APJ Abdul Kalam (@APJAbdulKalam) July 27, 2015.
He collapsed during the lecture and was taken
to Bethany Hospital nearby. He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and was
declared dead by the hospital authorities at 7:45 pm. Many popular leaders have
been tweeting about the sad demise and the Indian Government has declared 7
days of national mourning following APJ Abdul Kalam’s death.
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam had been a very popular
president and a renowned scientist. He was also a Bharat Ratna recipient and
was loved by the entire nation for his great ideas and non- political mindset. His
“dearest dream” was of becoming a fighter pilot but he failed to achieve it as
he bagged the ninth position when only eight slots were available in the IAF. After
his failure he accepted his new journey and put his “heart and soul” at his job
as the senior scientific assistant at DTDP. He has worked mainly at the Defence
Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). He was also primarily involved in India’s civilian space
program and military missile development affairs. He also dedicated a part of
his life to teaching.
He was an inspiration for billions, a true
visionary, a great leader and a phenomenal scientist. He was also an epitome of
hard work and courage and a teacher to all of us. He shares his journey through
his book, “My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions.” The sudden demise of
this beloved person comes as a shock to the entire nation. He is immortalise
through his words and actions and will be remembered always.
RIP Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam!
