Wings of Fire traces the life and
times of India’s former president APJ Abdul Kalam. It gives a glimpse of his
childhood as well as his growth as India’s missile man.Wings of
Fire is an Autobiography is co-written by APJ Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari. The
book traces his life from the obscure, poverty-stricken little village in
Rameswaram to the imposing Rashtrapati Bhavan in the grand avenues of Lutyens
Delhi.
In Wings of Fire: An Autobiography,
ABJ Abdul Kalam’s life – both personal and professional – is unraveled through
four sections titled Orientation, Creation, Propitiation and Contemplation. In
Orientation, we get an understanding of his early life. From the sea shores of
Rameswaram to a training program in NASA, the journey is a truly remarkable one
and the book traces it in detail.
In
`Creation,’ Abdul Kalam reminiscences on the beginning of his professional
life. There are a lot of details about his work in NASA and other facilities in
the US. The section focuses on the happenings in his life until 1980. `Propitiation’
traces his evolution into the `Missile Man of India’ and focuses on the period
between 1981 and 1991. `Contemplation’ gives us an insight into the thinking
and philosophy of this legendary technocrat and an amazing human being.
Abdul Kalam was born to Jainulabdeen
Marakayar and Ashiamma on October 15, 1931. He got his degree in aeronautical
engineering from IIT Madras and after a stint in NASA, he returned to India.
His work on the Indian space program has inspired scientific thinking in the
country.
Abdul Kalam
became the 11th President of India and the other posts he has held include
Principal Scientific Adviser to the Prime Minister. He worked in the Indian
Space Research Organization and Defense Research and Development Program. He
was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1981 and the Bharat Ratna in 1997. He has an abiding
interest in the welfare of children in the country.
I am really very much inspired by this book, it contains such enduring line that may occupy space in your mind for long time. India should feel proud for having such a noble man. This book also teaches teenagers how to dream. It shows a man, who lived his life in terms of his principles and nothing else.
It shows how a common man, like you and me, can achieve when he can dream.
