EXPLANATION:

Kalam was  eight years old at the time of  the “second world war”. His cousin Shamsuddin was distributing newspapers in Rameshwaram by that time. Those days the passenger train would not stop at the station. The newspaper bundles were thrown out on the platforms from the moving train. Kalam’s job was to collect those bundles of newspapers and give them to Shamsuddin(his cousin). Kalam also earned by trading “tamarind seeds” in the market because there is a huge demand for the tamarind seeds by that time.
