'WINGS OF FIRE' - A review

     


        "Wings of fire" is an autobiography of APJ Abdul Kalam. This book covers his life before becoming the President of India. It consists of his family background, the pain and sufferings he had gone throughout his life before he became successful.

         He was born on October 15, 1931, in Rameswaram, India. He came from a very humble background. In this book, he gives minute details of his life. He talks about the struggles that he had to go through because of his financial instability. 

         Dr. Kalam is not only famous for being a scientist and the President of our country, but also as a teacher who loved teaching and a writer as well. Even after a lot of failures and dejection in life, he never gave up on his dreams. 

         The Government of India has honored him with Padma Bhushan in 1981 and Padma Vibhushan in 1990 for his contribution and work with ISRO and DRDO, and in 1997 he was honored with Bharat Ratna Award for his contribution to scientific research and modernization of defense technology.

          The best inspiration I got from his autobiography is self-belief, and never giving up on your dreams. One should keep trying until you get success and achieve your goals. No matter how many times you fail in life, always remember to rise, spread your wings and fly very high.

Regret

Can anyone tell me?  Why my heart beat in pain?  And why even faster?  When I hear his name?  Regretting the moments,  With the pain that I feel inside,  I always wish that I was there by his side.  I could've told him Tried to win his heart,  But regret stroked me,  When we were going apart.  Days, weeks, months passed, and I think Maybe something are better unsaid,  You went away leaving me  But the memories will never fade.  You left a girl,  Broken and lost,  Now she couldn't know, Why and whom to trust.  His eyes we're  Like an entire ocean,  And I was just an Another droplet of monsoon.  Please! Listen to this sound,  Coming from my heart,  I'm begging you,  Just for a new start...                                                  Susmita Chettri

Hindus faith

 We hindus have so much faith in our God. We have a habit to pray and worship our God in every situation. From asking for strength in hard times to thanking them in our good times. We have many rituals and beliefs. We worship cows as Goddess Lakshmi and "khukhuri" as our religious weapon.  Now, I am going to tell you a real story about "khukhuri". We always keep it in our worshipping room and worship it also. About 4 or 5 years ago, my grandfather told me a story which he heard from his father after I requested him.         He started,                                                                    "We lived in a small 'nepali' house. Two floors and made up of wood and to go ton top floor you need to go up with the help of stairs.           When I was a...
