How did Abdul Kalam earn his first wages?
Answers
Hey mate,
Abdul Kalam was only 8 years old when the second world war broke out in 1939. Then there was a great demand for tamarind seeds. Abdul used to collect those seeds and sell them in the market. His cousin Shamsuddin distributed newspapers. The train would not stop at Rameshwaram and the bundles of newspapers were thrown from the running train. Abdul was employed by his cousin to collect them. This way he earned his first wages. He felt very proud on earning his first wage.
When India was forced to join the Allied Forces and something like a state of emergency was declared. The first casualty came in the form of the suspension of the train halt at Rameshwaram station. The newspapers has to be bundled and thrown out from the moving train on the Rameshwaram Road between Rameshwaram and Dhanuskodi. That forced Kalam's cousin Samsuddin who distributed newspapers in Rameshwaram, to look for a helping hand to catch the bundles and as if naturally, Abdul Kalam filled the slot. Samsuddin helped him to earn his first wages.
Thus, Kalam earned his first wages.
Hope this will help you.. :-)
