Books Written by Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam

I had recently been researching on some of the amazing Authors, Writers who had made an indelible mark on the Literary world. Their Books, Works, Articles, Posts and writing in any form were always a source of inspiration for me. However much we read it is never enough and my own tryst with writing and being an Author was very fulfilling but I always felt a void. 

I was specifically reading and researching about  the Biography of Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam, not only as a Scientist, Former President, and an Author. Specifically what impressed me and got me started was his quote - "If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher." - Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam.​

I was spell bound by the vast source of information that was available about him and during one of my readings found this source of information that opened all avenues for my research. It was as if I had found a Library for me to read more, but never enough about him.

It's my privilege to share this informative article / post about our 11th President Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam (25 July 2002 – 25 July 2007).

I humbly submit that this is article or the content is not written by me and and all due credits go to the article published in one of the Forums which I am in-Toto sharing below. I am sharing excerpts of the article that was published in one of the leading journals the India Travel Forum purely for the content that I would like people to know about this famous personality, whom all of us respect. 

As is mentioned in the post there....

"A scientist, a president, a family man, these are just a few descriptions for Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen (APJ) Abdul Kalam. He is mostly well-known for his contributions to the missile and nuclear developments of the country. As a child, he was opened to the struggles of life at an early age. While their family was well-off, they lost their family business due to modernity and hence, APJ Adbul Kalam has had to help with the family expenses at his young age. Still, he was able to succeed and even joined the Defense Research and Development Organization as one of the scientific assistants of the department. By 2002, he became the 11th President of India. Thereafter the presidency, he continued to live a very simple life, inspiring youths and other individuals to live their lives to their full potential.
