Similarly in an incident when defence minister arranged helicopter for scientist Kalam to attend his niece’s marriage at a village in Tamil nadu is very touching. It also inspires the reader of the book to excel in their own field to get recognition. The book also reveals the Abdul kalam’s as a leader and his capability of working as a team member which otherwise would not have been known.
