Answers
His father Jainaluddin was a humble boat owner, which he used to rented out to local fishermen. He was a devout Muslim and a close friend of the Rameshwaram temple priest. And this has made Kalam to grow up in a multi-religious, tolerant society with a progressive outlook. His father often quoted from Quoted to make the young Kalam see the world without fear. From childhood Kalam loved the sea and spent most of the time at beach watching the waves. He is strictly vegetarian. The spiritual simplicity of his parents has turned to be today’s Kalam who believes in God, reads Koran and Gita daily as an ideal secular Indian. His mother kindled the tender feelings in him which infuses him to practice music and poems.
Kalam had seven siblings, and his mother at times made chappatis for Kalam, while the others got rice as Kalam’s day would start at 4 am and end at 11 pm. As his father was not educated he wanted Kalam to study. Kalam would get up at 4 am and have bath and then go to mathematics class, the mathematics teacher used to teach only 5 students in the whole session and bathing before the class was the condition he laid to the students. After the class, Kalam along with his cousin Samsuddin went around disturbing newspaper.
The town had no electricity, kerosene lamps were lit at his home between 7 pm to 8 pm as Kalam studied till 11 his mother used to save for later use. The house where Kalam was born can still be found on the masque street. This has become a point for all tourist who seek out the place.

Answer:
his early childhood, Kalam's family had become poor; at an early age, he sold newspapers to supplement his family's income. In his school years, Kalam had average grades but was described as a bright and hardworking student who had a strong desire to learn. He spent hours on his studies, especially mathematics. In Rameswaram, Abdul Kalam's best friend was the son of a head priest. He did face discrimination because of his religion sometimes though. His family couldn't get everything he needed, but showered him with immense love, and he was emotionally secure, and not materially due to financial problems.
