From Rameswaram to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, it’s been a long journey.
Talking to Nona Walia on the eve of Teacher’s Day, President Dr. A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam talks about life’s toughest lessons learnt and his mission being a
teacher to the Indian youth. “A proper education would help nurture a sense of
dignity and self–respect among our youth,” says President Kalam. There’s still
a child in him though, and he’s still curious about learning new things. Life’s a
mission for President Kalam. Nonetheless, he remembers his first lesson in life
and how it changed his destiny.
“I was studying in Standard V and must have been all of 10. My teacher, Sri
Sivasubramania Iyer was telling how birds fly. He drew a diagram of a bird on
the blackboard, depicting the wings, tail and the body with the head and then
explained how birds soar to the sky. At the end of the class, I said I didn’t
understand. Then he asked the other students if they had understood, but
nobody had understood how birds fly,” he recalls.
“That evening, the entire class was taken to Rameswaram shore,” the President
continues, “My teacher showed us sea birds. We saw marvellous formations of
them flying and how their wings flapped. Then my teacher asked us, ‘Where is
the bird’s engine and how is it powered?’ I knew then that birds are powered
by their own life and motivation. I understood all about birds’ dynamics.”
