P.M.Nair
In this book,the author describes his experience with ‘Kalam Sir’ that he had during his time. He describes the humbleness and great qualities of A.P.J.Abdul Kalam that he recognised while working for him.
A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was known as the "people’s president", and the correct reason behind this has been penned down in the book.He was the man who worshipped and believed in God a lot. He had such a strong belief in n god that,I think, he could communicate with him.
For, once, there was a programme in the Rashtrapati Bhawan,that was to be visited by a great mass of people,approximately,2000-3000. That day,the rain started pouring in the morning. The author i.e; the secretary started to panic for how the programme would be held. He talked to Kalam , but he, in response, teasing him, told not to worry. If it is raining out,we can keep the programme inside. P.M.Nair went hysterical and told that the Bhawan could hold only 700-800 people. To this, the reply came from the President in a rather cool and calm way. He smiled and pointed towards the sky through the window and said "I have spoken there. Do not worry" And believe it or not, at 5 o’clock the programme was to be started and the rain had stopped at 4:30 pm!!! And, as if it was not amply surprising to digest,the rain had started after the programme.
Well, this is only one of the incidents written in the book.This book tells a great lot deal about him.I loved this book and would like to recommend it to all.
