The famous book “My Childhood” is a summarized version of the autobiographical, ‘Wings of Fire’.
The author is A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
Here Dr. Kalam, the 14th President of India enumerated his childhood days here.
His journey from a middle-class family in Rameswaram to the President’s house was spotted with great obstructions.
His father was not rich but honest person and provided a secured childhood to Abdul.
Abdul derived honesty and self-discipline from him.
