What did Abdul's passion for flying lead him to do?
Answers
Answer:
This and several nuggets about Kalam's life besides advice for young people on careers in areas like robotics, aeronautics, neurosciences, pathology, paleontology and material sciences find mention in a new book "Reignited: Scientific Pathways to a Brighter Future," co-authored by Kalam and his former scientific advisor Srijan Pal Singh.
Kalam says as a young boy, he used to love the stories of the pilots and their planes and was curious about planes. Also he wanted to be a pilot himself.
"Back in my village there were few people who could discuss aircraft. I was a disadvantaged child from a non-educated family; yI had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers. My curiosity was fulfilled by a very special teacher when I was a 10-year-old boy in class V. This was indeed a life-changing event," he writes.
