In this lock down
period of 21 days in India.. After spending my time playing chaupat, quarantine
games on social media.. I thought of exploring the books given by my students
on my birthday.. This is the only activity which gives me immense happiness.. So,
I started reading “My India – ideas for the future ” ..this book is a forward
by srijan pal singh.. Who was an advisor, student,a close aid to our former
president Dr. A. P. J Abdul kalam.
This books contains excerpts from people’s
presidents speeches at various locations.
They give us some insight of Abdul kalam’s
experiences.. It is written under different headings..
Few of them.. Which inspired me are
A foundation of Tolerance : in this he
describes his meeting with Nelson Mandela
A world without borders : in this he describes
how people from different regions, different nations, different cultures,
languages are coming together developing technologies to make our life at ease.
The thoughts of a boy : in this he describes
about an initiative of children below the age of fifteen.. Bachchon Ki pahal..
These children mostly tribal and all from government schools in villages had
this special initiative.. Which is entirely managed by a group of about 250
child reporters.
A Tiny island : in this he gives us a glimpse
of how wheeler island was found.. And became a place of important activities of
India’s space programs.
