From Humble Beginnings to Scientific Calling
The journey of APJ Abdul Kalam from a small fishing village to becoming India's "Missile Man" and eventually its 11th President represents one of the most inspiring stories in modern India. Born into a middle-class Tamil Muslim family in Rameswaram, young Abdul grew up in an environment of remarkable religious harmony. His father, though lacking formal education, possessed profound wisdom, while his mother embodied selfless service, feeding countless people beyond their immediate family. Despite being Muslim, Kalam witnessed Hindu rituals at the nearby Shiva temple and observed his father's deep friendship with the temple's high priest. These experiences taught him that true spirituality transcends religious boundaries - a lesson that would guide his inclusive leadership approach throughout his career. When a new teacher once attempted to segregate him because of his Muslim identity, the temple priest intervened, teaching a powerful lesson about equality that Kalam never forgot. At Madras Institute of Technology, three remarkable professors shaped Kalam's intellectual development. Professor Sponder, an Austrian aerodynamics expert who had survived Nazi imprisonment, emphasized building strong foundations rather than worrying about future prospects. Professor Pandalai welcomed classroom disagreement with intellectual integrity, while Professor Narasingha Rao sparked Kalam's lifelong love for mathematical physics, teaching him the "surgical knife" approach to problem-solving. A pivotal moment came when Kalam narrowly missed selection for the Air Force - placing ninth when they needed only eight officers. Devastated, he sought solace at Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh. There, Swami Sivananda offered life-changing wisdom: "Desire, when it stems from the heart and spirit, possesses awesome electromagnetic energy" that manifests what has been imagined. The swami assured Kalam he wasn't destined to be a pilot but had another predetermined path - one that would eventually make him India's foremost rocket scientist.
